Has anyone seen him or his foals?

I went to see him when he was 2 weeks off the track in 2007 (i believe). He is a BIG boy (17h)...fairly correct, nice bone. He had a great personality when I looked at him. We are looking at im for one of our mares this year. I have seem a few of his foals at the sales and they look athletic, and have good size

I have not seen him but the reason I was asking is because I heard glowing reviews on his physical but his foal sales have been dismal.

He got to the farm late and had little to no hype. He is the most impressive horse in the barn and I LOVED him. My mare was late so I only took 1 shot at him and came up empty.

I'm guessing the cheap prices are a reflection of lower quality mares than he should have covered.

Was anyone else blown away by his size and confirmation?

I was as well. I thought he was a very handsome horse.

He is a handsome boy. One of my mares is due to foal a SC next month.
