However true as that may be, RR enjoyed a fairly undemanding time in the serving barn.

That in itself can be a bad omen....

What a dreadful loss he was to Victoria after less than a handful of seasons Nonconformist winning at Caulfield on Sat & Barb Raider looking a live chance in the Oaks having just won the Preview with plenty in hand. Easily the best horse to have stood at Wyndholm Park bar one whose name I forget - ex Mike Willesee/Transmedia Stud.

I tried 5 times to breed a RR. After no result in season1, First live one had a stifle cyst; second one broke a leg as a 4 mth foal ; third one died at stud of peritonitis at 4 days & fourth time Neg test. BUT that is breeding
If you wish to see reward for persistance check out the breeding history of Nonconformists family

Glencoe, that is a terrible tale of woe.
I have a RR 2YO colt - soon to be gelded - who is currently at the breakers. He is named Rafe for the angel Raphael as he is the most even-tempered (or lazy) young throughbred I have come across. His Sidestep older sister is apparently the total opposite. He is going to be a very big horse and has a good conformation. I acquired him as a foal at foot - my main aim had been to get his mother whose Sidestep filly was apparently brilliant. But RR was the best stallion she had been to according to me. |

They all seem to be a decent size tho' Reset threw many on the small side - just an observation & BOL with him Mumtaz. may you be smiled upon, unlike the terrible run Glencoe had

2 years ago this week RR did an Errol Flynn
And as the racing gods are apt to do, he has 2 very good Gr 1 chances this week

Some say Wyndham Park is where stallions go to die, long before they actually decease. But that aside, imo this bloke could have been anything had a high profile stud had taken him on. Which was sadly but admittedly unlikely despite his winning Group races at 1200, 1600 and 2500 including the VRC Derby.
Just great to see his son Rebel Racer win the Adelaide Cup today.
