Stallions who stamp their stock

High Chaparral and I am Invincible certainly stamped in the good looks department.

It is interesting reading Tara Madgwick's summary of the stallion parades from the weekend. She notes that Snitzel absolutely doesn't stamp his stock and they come in all shapes and colours. Menari and Invader could not be any more different; but they all seem to have ability. On the flip-side, I struggle to think of a chestnut Danehill or even a chestnut Redoute's?

It's interesting as to whether "stamping" stock is indicative of stallion potential. Agree that SYT and Lonhro have a certain type, as does I Am Invincible. The Shooting To Wins that I have seen have all been peas in a pod, and flashy peas at that.

Saw a Star Turn filly foal at Vinery .  Geez, a ringer in colouring for the old man.  If they cant run,  the showies will be beating a path to the door for those horses.

I had a good look at both DF’s & STW’s progeny, albeit thru pics avail on Net. I came to the conclusion that DF’s were stronger better conformed types as a whole. STW’s concerned me a bit, plenty of colour, lack of bone, long backs, long pasterns.
They are about to hit the track as 2 yo’s so be interesting to look at how it all pans out?

Mawingo is the one I cant believe how good they look and spitting image of the old man body shape- he will never make it in Tasmania but impressive and all the same
