Hello,
some sensational News. Helmet (by Exceed and Excel) will stand in 2019 in Germany! His location
in my home Country is the "Faehrhof Stud" situated between Hamburg and Bremen, his fee is set
at 9.000 Euros (ca. 13.500 AUS $).
 
He already had this season in Germany the succesful 2 year old filly "Peace of Paris", won a maiden race and was 3rdplaced in the "Zukunfts Rennen" (Gr. 3)
 
regards, Ticino
P=.S.: To my surprise he wasn't yet listed on the Website of the above mentioned Stud

He's done far better overseas than in Australia Ticino.  I think they are too hot for Australian racing.  They run the race before they get to the start.  He was a magnificent racehorse himself but did do things wrong.  Hopefully he fits your mares.

Hi Ticino,

I just googled Faehfhof stud and viewed some YouTube footage from 2016. It looks to be a beautiful place. I wish Helmet all the luck over there. He will put more bone into the stock than people may be used to.
His tail line may/ should be more suited to European lines as well.

Cheers

Hello,
I have recently read at a German Racing site in the Internet.
Helmet has covered at his first season at the "Faehrhof Stud" im my
home country 41 Mares. It doesn't sound much for Australian Standards, but you have to consider
the number of Thoroughbred foals is dropping constantly in Geermany.
 
regards, Ticino

Don't be sorry 2nd. They're probably trying to breed quality over quantity.

Or the cost of it is not for the ordinary man... factored in with economic problems in europe

Same goes for over here, still we have lots of foals.. but is it cheap? 
Now having passed 1000 posts I feel you are all so much the wiser for my having said... stuff!

Hello,
After 2 seasons at the "Fährhof Stud", according in our racingpaper "Sportwelt", Helmet (by Exceed and Excel) will move to Italy (Allevamento il Grigone at Vigone) during the next time.
 
During the 2 seasons at the "Fährhof Stud", he covered 70 broodmares, one more move for him.
 
Best regards from Germany
Ticino
