IMHO, its way too early to make that call. I think people were expecting a lot from First Defence after he sired Close Hatches in his first crop. He ended up in Saudi Arabia just a few years later.

As far as UBS sons go, Midshipman is a really solid sire. He isn't fashionable and hasn't sired any superstars, but he is a good value for those who are breeding to race. He's been getting over a hundred mares per year for the last four breeding seasons. And Darley hasn't moved him along, so I feel like that speaks for itself.

I just saw that Bulletin is a son of City Zip.
Yet another Breeders’ Cup winner for the late sire. His absence is surely felt.

Shoutout to the late exported sire Repent, who has two descendants running today- his son Discreet Lover and granddaughter Midnight Bisou.

Hey, how about Signalman, a son of General Quarters, getting third in the BCJ?

Just found my list of New Zealand mares bred in 2017. Note there is no actual list released this is just one I made with the data available the data for 2018 will be out around February
SH stallions are generally capped at around 160-180 mares so 100 is considered a good book
(Zabeel served up to 200 in his prime)
1. Savabeel by Zabeel - 167
2. Tavistock by Montjeu - 165
3. Vadamos (FR) by Monsun - 159 (FSS)
4. Reliable Man (GB) by Dalakhani - 151
5. Turn Me Loose by Iffraaj - 145 (FSS)
6. Tivaci (AUS) by High Chaparral - 139 (FSS)
7. Iffraaj (GB) by Zafonic - 129
8. Tarzino by Tavistock - 124 (FSS)
9. Telperion (AUS) by Street Cry - 118 (FSS)
10. Showcasing (GB) by Oasis Dream - 116
10. Preferment by Zabeel - 116 (FSS)
12. El Roca (AUS) by Fastnet Rock - 114
Several notes:
-Both Savabeel & Tavistock have restricted books and you must apply for the honour of sending your mare
-I'm expecting Reliable Man numbers to drop this year his oldest are 4yos and only 1 SH stakeswinner
-Of all these stallions Telperion is cheapest at $5000 LFG
-Four of these stallions are shuttle stallions from the UK
-Showcasing is no longer shuttling to NZ

It's been decided that both Cracksman and Hawkbill will stand at Darley's Dalham Hall division in Newmarket.

Big news!
I’ll Have Another Returning to America, To Stand At Ballena Vista Farm in California
I’ll Have Another Returning to America, To Stand At Ballena Vista Farm in California
https://www.paulickreport.com/news/bloo ... alifornia/“I truly consider bringing champion I'll Have Another back to the states as one of the most satisfying and one of the best things I've ever done in the Thoroughbred industry,” said Ballena Vista Farm owner Donald Cohn. “He is a magnificent specimen and a true champion racehorse; the likes of what we in California have never had the opportunity to stand.”

While that's good news for California breeders, it doesn't seem to be a positive commentary on his Japanese breeding career.
Big Red Farm paid $10 million for him, and now they're shipping him back to California after only five seasons? I doubt that $10 million exchanged hands this time.

Scat Daddy's son Daddy Long Legs to stand at Taylor Made
More: https://www.drf.com/news/scat-daddys-so ... aylor-madeMultiple Group 2 winner Daddy Long Legs has been purchased by a partnership to stand at Taylor Made Stallions in 2019, becoming the most recent son of the late Scat Daddy to stand in Kentucky.
Daddy Long Legs won the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes in England as a juvenile and the Group 2 U.A.E. Derby at Meydan the following spring. He launched his stud career at Haras Cordillera in Chile, the country where Coolmore's shuttle stallion Scat Daddy was a leading sire, with two Horse of the Year honorees. Daddy Long Legs also proved popular, siring Group 1 winner Fallen From Heaven, Group 3 winner Atomicka, Group 3 placed Aine, and stakes-placed Pinturita Clasica and Vamos Chileno from his first crop.
The young stallion has been purchased by the partnership of Taylor Made, Phoenix Thoroughbreds, and KatieRich Farms.

I know that IHA hasn't gotten Gr.I winners or general graded stakes winners, but like again, he isn't a Shadai stallion; what mares were sent to him and what was their quality? 250-300 mares go to Lord Kanaloa and Maurice and Deep Impact a piece and so on.
Also it was his first crop I believe that yielded the stakes competitors, or most of them. So take what you will from that.

You know that farms are scrambling to get on the Scat Daddy train when they buy Coolmore cast-offs who started in Florida, stood there for one year, then were sold to Chile.Sparrow Castle wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 6:35 pm Scat Daddy's son Daddy Long Legs to stand at Taylor MadeMore: https://www.drf.com/news/scat-daddys-so ... aylor-madeMultiple Group 2 winner Daddy Long Legs has been purchased by a partnership to stand at Taylor Made Stallions in 2019, becoming the most recent son of the late Scat Daddy to stand in Kentucky.

Still, nice to see him off to a good start at stud, I totally forgot about him. Different tax bracket than Justify or even Mendelssohn (though he and DLL both won the UAE Derby), I'll be really interested to see how many mares he gets.
Speaking of which, what ever happened to Stroud's Lane Farm? They launched in 2016 with 3 first year stallions: Daddy Long Legs, Seek Again, and Admiral Kitten. Then after 2016, poof, gone. Their website is somewhat functioning, but way out of date.
