Is there anyone on here that has seen his northern hemisphere stock running?
I here they are doing well but just wanting the opinion of someone that's seen them and has access to the details lol.

Hello,
Here are his statistics as of Sat. He has had 44 runners and 10 winners which puts him in 6th place on the first crop sires list. He is the only horse on the list with 44 runners, so he has the highest number of runners and only managing 6th position. Acclamation is leading with 37 runners and 16 winners with Choisir 2nd with 40 runners and 15 winners. I personally like to see the runners to ratio be a bit better for him. He was touted as the best new sire in ages and is actually not anywhere near that claim. To me he is just the same as previous big name juvenile sires to flop, Iron Mask and City On A Hill.
A sire that is really making a mark as I see it is Cather In The Rye. He has 14 runners and 7 winners. That's what I like to see.
Having said that we have a Captain Rio yearling which was sold privately to clients. She is a bit small and not much too here in substance wise and a lot of the ones I've seen are like that. I like her and she should mature into a decent filly but I am not a big fan of Captain Rio.

I wouldn't say bummer necessarily. My opinion is my opinion and it doesn't mean sqaut! I think he is sometimes a victim of not getting the best of mares over here. Like I said, my husband bought a filly earlier this year and I really like her. She's correct and strong, just a touch small but she's on really good grass at the moment and is really doing. And he was very popular at the sales here so that could really bode well for you as well. Plus he is having winners so another good thing. I'm really hoping your colt does well for you!
