Good on them for getting a Stratum. I think he's a chance
Now having passed 1000 posts I feel you are all so much the wiser for my having said... stuff!

Emancipation was a favourite of mine.  I've given up trying to work out which stallion will make it.  I seem to be hopeless!

Absolutely correct.  Star

It's a matter of real regret that Rick who was intelligent, educated and talented ended up with the ass out of his pants.

STRATUM STAR - Bay horse
[Stratum (Redoutes Choice)-Purely Spectacular (Pins-NZ)]
Stakes: $2.4M

1st
Kingston Town G1
Rupert Clarke G1
Peter Young Stakes G2
Coongy DJ Cup G3
Gothic Stakes  L
Yellow Glen Stakes  L

2nd
Futurity Stakes G1 (Turn Me Loose)
Sandow Stakes G2 (Redkirk Warrior)
Alister Clarke Stakes G2 (Chill Party)
Sandown Guines G2 (Petrology)
Carbine Club Stakes G3 (Kermadec)

3rd
Australian Guineas G1 (Wandjina)
Memsie Stakes G1 (Boban)
Toorak HCP G1 (Lucky Hussler)
QTC Cup G2 (Spill the Beans)
Blamey Stakes G2 (He or She)
CS Hayes Stakes G3 (Wandjina)
QTC Cup G2 (Spill the Beans)
Glasshouse HCP L (Flamboyer)

4th
Australia Cup G1 (Humidor)

An interesting sire who has proved a durable and competitive sprinter/middle distance type.  Would think at 11k there's a solid market for him? His sire I would think is very commercial and out of Redoute's Choice.  The immediate female family looks OK without being spectacular. 2  G1's albeit not iconic type races and a solid top 3 in several notable stakes races into his Fifth year.  Would think he'll get a reasonable number of good mares and be given a chance at stud.

I think they have made a very good business decision pricing him at 11k, good value for money and I think he will be close to be booked out

Quality hose, nicely bred, accessible price. Lacking one key trait that makes a sucessful 1st season sire....hype.

I've notice quite a few of the Widden stallions go under the radar.  They just seem to be quiet achievers.

Are you trying to say, that his ability to pass on his genetic traits is somehow affected by having a 37 start racing career?

I think sequalo had quite a number of starts from memory

However on stratum star, he wont be anywhere near a commercial stallion unless he proves himself because as lordy pointed out ... hype.

And needless to say, many stallions with short careers have turned out to have sub-par fertility. Mouawad had only about eight starts, didn't he? Al Kazeem only had about twelve I think, and Guineas was retired right after the Slipper and fired blanks.

He, Criterion and the like are perfect marketing tools for stallion farms.

They are proven toughness, proven ability and proven soundness.

If they can not make HYPE out of that they are not trying.

I'm not sure whether that repeated question above is made to me. However, to.be clear, I wouldn't be the least bit worried about his number of race starts having a negative effect on his capabilities as a stallion.

Surely, if a stallion can race on over several seasons he has to have 
1 a good temperament
2 constitution
3 sound, therefore a good type
Good for genetics. 
Hope he makes it.

Aurelius - retiring young immature three year olds doesn't seem to be working.  

Heroic was champion sire seven times and ran in 51 races.  The great South Africian sire Foveros was Champion sire 9 times after 37 starts.  Halo had 31, Fair Play sire of Man O'War had 32 starts.  Century had 29, Carbine had 43, Discovery had 63, Alcimedes had 34, Bold Ruler 33 etc etc etc.

Good sires are good because they have what it takes to make a good sire.  He may or may not make it but his starts are the least of his worries.

Statistics show that Stallions who have had more than 25 starts have less chance of success as a potential stallion.

Of course people can rattle of Lonhro and the list you have mentioned below and there would be more, very good sires seem to be able to buck the trend.

Facts are facts however and the odds are against him.

What baffles me are the likes if Goerge Michael, I said
he may succeed but the odds are against.

He either cannot read or is just fishing for a nonsensical argument probably both!

Yes there are just as many stallion with less starts who made good.  

You don't have to be overraced to have 30 to 40 starts.  You can be more overraced to have just 9 starts.  It depends on the time in which those starts occurred.  How the trainer has overlooked the care and attention - looking for signs of over racing or training off.
