Just A Touch
A friend of mine is looking to have this son of Safely Kept stand for stud duties...I think he would do well as a commercial breeding. He has a few brothers at Stud..
Anyone interested please PM me.
Regards

What makes you think he'd be a commerical stallion prospect?
His sire has been shipped out of KY and sired nothing of note.
His dam was a great runner, but an average producer and has no sons of note at stud.
He ran for a tag, and doesn't appear to have won even a regional stakes.
I'm sure he'd make a pretty gelding.

Thanks for your opinion, however I was not asking for one...
Before you post next time you should do some research on the Dam and her sons. And for your info, you don't need to be stakes placed to make it as a Stud. It helps but there's no guarantee. I think he's worth a try and that's all that counts. If you are not interested move on like the others who read and passed on it.

I have to jump in here . . . if I had the means, I certainly wouldn't mind taking a look at him as a sire--Aldebaran has sired a few decent horses, who have many starts to their credit looks like.
Also, how do you call offspring of Safely Kept "average" when 5 out of 8 have earned over 100K?
Aldebaran and Safely Kept made 23 and 31 starts respectively.
Just a Touch was in the money 13 out of 15 starts. Maybe he'll pass on heart.
Besdies the fact that you did jump in with public unrequested advice, I really disagree with your analysis. Not everyone is shooting for G1 winners, and that's not necessarily out of the question either.
JMHO

So true in so many situations.
AND . . . looks like we get TWO more! Oh joy!
Make that three.
If the original post hadn't started by saying that the "stallion would do well as a commercial breeding" this would be a whole other conversation. But there's nothing in that horse's pedigree or race record to suggest that he would be commercially viable. Maybe he'd make a nice sporthorse stallion, I don't know. But that's not what was offered.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. That's not all that counts when you aren't willing to back the horse with your own money and stand him at stud yourself.
LB ( How would you campare this horse to The Green Monkey)
and to answer your questions it's simple .. The horse is not mine first of all and moreover ..I am not into breeding, am into racing...Hope that answers your question...
AGAIN IF YOU ARE NOT INTEREST I DO NOT NEED YOUR COMMENT..
Hope that's simple enough

I'm not about to appologize for my comment. I stand behind it.
This IS a public board. If no one had any comments, it'd be a pretty boring board.
Indeed, as LB pointed, the OP was stating that the stallion in question would be commercially viable. I listed reasons as to why he wouldn't be.
Seriously people, do we really need another sub-par stallion making babies? A horse who showed some serious talent merits a shot. A horse with just a well known sire & dam who didn't show any real talent are a dime a dozen.
Go ahead and market him to the sport horse crowd if he's got the conformation and disposition for it.

Commercial breeding can be different at different regional levels..
true, I wouldn't expect him to get a full "KY size" commercial book, but maybe he would do ok if he was WELL supported by a owner who already has a mare band and was looking for different bloodlines.
I do agree it would be hard to market a stallion like him as commercial in this day and age and as it was pointed out his sire was sold somewhat early on.
Maybe he is a big, thick boned, good looking guy and could make some runners. It's just hard these days to keep a stud just to find out if he can throw runners... down the line.
Not hatin'.. just saying..
