Vaudeville

Postby ZiaLand » Mon Oct 10, 2005 11:23 am

Has anyone had any experience breeding to this son of Theatrical? I believe he has about four crops to run and the database doesn't say much about his offspring. I'd like to hear some opinions of him as a sire, comments on his pedigree, etc.

Thanks,
Laurie

Vaudaville was culled out of CA. and dont breed to V, as he failed in the breeding pen by fireing too many blanks. V is a complete failure.

I've looked at this guy's pedigree and racing record again and again and I can't quite understand why he is (or is considered) a failure. Any opinions?

If Vaudeville's progeny raced in the minors instead of the majors V would have done better.

Look at the earnings of his progeny and you will understand why TB breeders shy away for him.

V had a low % of winners and was a flop, dont let his pedigree and race record decieve you.

Always classify a stallion by his progeny's success or failure as this is the true guide to a stallion's ability to be a hit or a miss.
