The Jockey Club will release the 2013 numbers in the next month or two.

You can always call the farm where he's standing and ask them, too.

thank you. I cant believe it was 20 years ago, but there you have it. What a pity American breeders would not have patronized him. Even now there is a strong bias against most European sire lines, especially German ones, because until recently haven't been seen much in America. Hopefully that will c...

Military Plume WAS a superbly-bred horse, and I remember thinking the same thing! *Princequillo was still at the top of his game, and Bold Ruler hadn't quite found the spotlight yet. A horse which raced in the same timeframe, and who I thought had a great pedigree was GUADALCANAL: http://www.pedigre...

Years ago I bought a filly out of ISTRIA, champion German filly, for not much money, and she la...

I was speaking with the Castleton manager today about an unrelated subject and asked him the horse's whereabouts. He said the horse was "sold to a lady in California" last year. He gave me her name but I didn't recognize it.

No need for controversy. It's just that in reading catalog pages I think it's important to do so while comparing apples with apples, i.e. quality.
