Freshman stallions of 18/19

Have heard from a few that the Deep Fields are mature physically but not coping too well mentally. Also was looking at a mare in foal to Dissident at MM recently and was told to steer clear by a few other breeders. Haven't heard anything specific but being told that Dissident may struggle.

Though brilliant Deep Field didn't start until he was rising 4 so that might give a clue as to why his stock may be mentally immature.

Interesting what was said about Dissident. Really loved one of his on paper and was very surprised she only made Book 2 at Easter. Must of been one of the ordinary types.

Couldn't give the Hallowed Crown youngsters away at the sales, which totally surprised me as he was a top galloper from a performing female family. It'll be interesting to see how he goes, though he probably wan't get early comers.

Down here in Vic there were mixed opinions about the Brazen Beau yearlings, but haven't heard any subsequent reports.

I think it’s where he stands, they just don’t promote their stallions well enough to sell.

Any opinions on the speedy Encosta 2yo Rubick?

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

I heard he damaged his stifle as a youngster and wasn’t expected to be able to race? Hence the late start

Dam half to Redoubtes Choice a plus.

Outside chance but for me No.

All very well, however yearling purchasers, be they experienced "good judges" or otherwise, need to make value judgements when inspecting youngsters. And when expending big bucks it's entirely excusable to put a line through those whose physical weaknesses might present potential problems.

Though those those looking at your Llonhro's and Pierro's might forgive their frequent alignment faults given the breed's apparent ability, for the most part, to overcome them.

Yes, got badly kicked coming off the track & think it was a fracture or close to one.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

I will confirm Lingy.

It was 10 lengths clear in a Group 1, only 200 metres to run would you believe and it jumped a shadow on the track and fractured it's sesamoid bone.

In what was described as a freak of nature it hung on to run 12th.

The Vet scan failed to pick up the fracture due to a power outage at the Vet Clinic.
We were due to take the prospective stallion back for a scan however it got a throat infection and could not travel.
I can hear you thinking 'why not get a Vet to come to you and yes, your right however upon reflection why go to that expense?
We would only have to increase the Service Fee and that would only hurt you the paying customer.

We at 'We All Know Its Bullgelati Thoroughbreds' value our customer relationships too much to waste money on fictitious Vetinary services.

So that was the reason for Deep Field’s retirement rather than the reason he didn’t race early? I though that people meant that it prevented him from starting as a youngster. Was he mentally immature early?

Not sure "Full Disclosure" is a known concept in this industry

For clarity - I was told from a very good source that DF didn’t make it to the track early in his career because of a potentially career ending stifle injury. As we know he did race but not until late. There must be people who can verify this?

I was looking at Paul Hogan’s

I like the look of the new boy at Yarraman Park,,,, Hellbent. Looks verra verra nice, and they do have the knack Wink

animals before people.

Must say I was quite shocked with the $27.5k price tag on this bloke.

I have to say - they’d have to pay me to send a mare to him. Alas he’s not having runners this coming season so he doesn’t belong in the thread
