Since you guys did such a great job with Aptitude, does anyone have an opinion of Luhuk? He seems to look the part. Early buzz on his U.S. foals?

Depends on the mare. When I saw him last year, I thought he toed in pretty badly.

I was not that impressed with Luhuk when I saw him, but there was a Luhuk filly born recently at the farm where my mares live and the farm owner thinks it's the nicest foal the mare has ever produced.

I considered Luhuk because he would give me Dr Fager 3sx5d and Northern Dancer 4Sx6Dx7s... but that is tempered by 3Sx4D MrP (Forty Niner/Fappiano does happen to be a strong nick)...

I'm curious if there are any other people who have seen or worked with his foals or if anyone knows about his racing career/soundness. He looks a little bit like a turf horse, does he have any dirt runners in the US?

I am waiting for a Luhuk foal. Although I have been told that his offspring look great, his 2 year olds, 1st NA crop, did little in 2004. Right now I regret the breeding.

He did have a good sprinter on the West Coast in 2003 and early 2004. The horse was bred in Sa. I believe that the horse's name was Avonzado. I think that he won on the dirt and grass sprinting. With Luhuk's breeding, I expect that they will be able to run on the dirt.
