[Insane Crazy]

I guess I'll wait and see what he ultimately sells for. The strategy for online auctions is always waiting until the last possible minute. If he goes for a decent price, then it's weird for a TB stud, but whatever, I suppose.

Heading out to Gulfstream today and got to thinking of some of the newer stallions I've had the pleasure of seeing when they were 2 and 3 - checked on a few and got curious about Jackson Bend but can't find anything on him at Journeyman or anywhere else - does anyone know if he's still having problems or what happened?

Very curious about Jackson Bend myself. Seems to have vanished...

Yeah he didn't cover any mares in 2015(or ever).

[BaroqueAgain1]

I'm afraid that we may find out the injuries he suffered in that on-track collision have left him with permanent...or at least long-lasting...back problems that make it difficult to breed.

I posted questions on Bloodhorse several months ago asking about Jackson Bend.

Someone replied that he is infertile, although this wasn't someone from the connections or from Bloodhorse that answered, so it's unofficial.

Aww, disappointing if true - he had so much try in him (and I love a liver chesnut )

These are a some of the pictures Country Life and Merryland Farms posted from their 1/30/16 stallion show.

Super 99



Freedom Child



Cal Nation



Freisan Fire



And the new filly, Cavan Thunder - Into Mischief, was a bonus attraction.

[Summer Bird]

I think these guys have moved around quite a bit. There're export reports filed for them.

According to the Korean Stud Book both Bob and John and Musket Man were imported to Korea in 2016 (MM three days ago).

Heard Old Fashioned is joining them. He's no longer listed on the Taylor Made site.

[Izvestia]

Friesan Fire is sooooooo gorgeous. I'm glad he is doing so well.
Freedom Child is such a sassy boy, I love how exuberant he is putting on a show.

[Ridan_Remembered]

Thanks for the pictures from Country/Merryland, especially the ones of Friesan Fire. I've been a fan of his since his 2-yr-old year. Wonderful that he is proving to be at least a useful sire. He had a limited first crop of only 29 runners from lower-level broodmares. Of those, he's had at least 10 winners with at least three stakes horses and one stakes winner. He's the #1 mid-Atlantic first crop sire. If he could only get lucky to attract some better class broodmares...anyway, I will always hope for the best for him.

Aldebaran(USA)

------
Shingo Nakanishi, stud manager at JBBA, said; ''It's been very cold lately. But Aldebaran is fine. He has a gentle but outgoing personality. His babies have been doing well both on dirt and turf (in Japan).''
'' We were delighted to hear that his son Main Sequence won the BC Turf last year.''
'' We have been receiving more contacts from the breeders now.''

No announcement and no export report yet. He's not listed as an imported stallion in the Korean Stud Book yet. So far, it shows On Eagles Wings (dam Soaring Softly), Tout, and Divine Park as new imports, along with the two mentioned above.

This article talks only about Bob and John, Musket Man, and Tout as new to the Korean stallion roster in 2016.

Eek! I hope he won't get too many/any this year, poor boy should remain pain-free.

Ow ow ow ow ow ow... those two words should never appear in conjunction with each other. Poor fellow!

Do you like online auctions? Well, now's your chance to snag a stallion by Dansili, who won over $1.8 million in his career, for not much money.

Hopefully, he'll find a good home in a private sale. He's certainly done enough to deserve it.

Lewis Michael apparently moved from Questroyal North to Circle H Farms in LA, but I don't think they have a website.

Congaree moved from Saratoga Stud to Lane's End Texas.

Summer Bird, did the maiden in foal to Declaration of War give birth yet? I did a quick look but didn't see anything.
