I saw Orientate early in his stud career and was not impressed with his body. He was built more like a filly. He was small boned and not very muscular. It's likely he has bulked up do to years at stud. He was one hell of a race horse but you wouldn't know it by his looks. If I am calculating correctly, it looks like his progeny average about 18 starts in a career which is close to average.
