Hasn't come back to the US since he was exported to stand in Australia. Did you ask Winstar?

Was Artie at Winstar last year? I wonder if there is no sponsor willing to bring him back? That used to be necessary - ie: someone willing to foot the bill for the shipping and quarantine. It is expensive upwards of $15K. He apparently covered 40 mares last year in KY which might be a bit of a turnoff. Stud farms want those limited spots they have to be occupied by a stallion that brings in the crowds. He turned 17 this year also maybe he's getting on a bit too much for all this travel. I believe it is pretty hard on the horse.

Winstar does this all the time. They have to make room for their next lightly raced 3-year-old, that will probably be around for a couple years and then be exported. It's a stallion factory.
It's too bad because Artie Schiller has sired some quality horses. I even think he would be a great addition to Ontario racing.

Wasn't Artie passed around a bit? He started out at Hurricane Hall. Then I think that farm closed. I know he was at Pauls Mill in 2011. I believe he was owned by a syndicate. I'm not sure this is solely a "Winstar" decision.

He went from one Walden's farm (twice) to another (once), all in the family. Ben started him at HH then went to Paul's Mill then to WinStar.

He's in Australia. They really like him down there.
