A pal and I disagreed over this stallion when he moved to Ky - my pal thought he would be really good and I thought he would be a big flop. Are any of his American-bred offspring running yet?

It looks like his first US-bred crop are just turned 3.

I think it's telling that he has exactly 2 graded winners in South Africa--at sprints. The sprint division in South Africa has produced one international calibre runner in the last ten years--the ill-fated National Currency--and that's it. The true strength of the South African racing population is a mile.
