I own a nice son of Deputy Minister that I would like to offer as a stallion prospect.
HIGH COMMISSIONER, chestnut, 1998, Deputy Minister-Blue Moonlight, by Mining. Grade 2 placed winner of $150,000. $650,000 Keeneland yearling. 16.1 hands plus--very atrractive horse built on the mold of Dehere. Ridgling--like many sons of Deputy Minister. His dam was a very fast SW in California at 6-7 furlongs, and placed in Las Virgenes S.-G1. Strong female family.
Located in Lexington, inspection by appointment.
Please drop me an email at [email protected], or call me at 530-271-7385 if you are interested. Commissions paid to agents; serious inquiries only, please. This horse has not been shopped around and I would prefer to keep it that way!

Also known as a crypt orchid... a retained testicle in the inguinal canal (usually). My question would be potency/sperm quality. Having a testicle retained can adversly effect the sperm cells because temperature cannot be regulated by normal means.
Michael, have you had his semen evaluated? If so, what did you find?

Yes, but the testicle can also be anywhere in the body cavity which then needs to be retrieved and removed as it has a tendency to becom cancerous. Removing it from the inguinal canal is easy, relatively speaking. With today's ultrasound technology, the testicle can be located in the body cavity and then removed either surgically [general aenestesia] or through a speical abdominal procedure I forgotten the name of. In either case, it is somewhat costly. If I remember well, AP Indy is a mono-crypto as well, so apparently, it doesn't affect fertility, but a sperm test or test mating would be in order.

The horse hasn't been test bred or collected, so I don't have any numbers.
Many successful stallions--including Seattle Slew, Lyphard, Capote and dozens of others--are ridglings. I'm told that Deputy Minister has thrown a number of rigs and that they have thrived as stallions. His one descended testicle is quite large so I have little doubt that the horse will be normal. At the same time, some stallions with two normal appearing testicles can be as sterile as the Sahara Desert, e.g. Cigar.
