Give her an extra peppermint for me and tell her "I knew your great-grand-dad!"

Two Japanese stallions Satono Aladdin & Al Ain have had their SH seasons cancelled due to travel difficulties (Japanese airlines will not allow grooms on flights) Arrowfield cancelled shuttle duty for their Japanese stallions a few months ago.
At this stage all European/American stallions will shuttle as expected in late July.

F***ing $pendthrift. I wonder which one of their 3rd year stallions is getting the boot to make room for him.

Probably hit it a bomb or cinco charlie. Can’t see them getting rid of mor spirit unless they manage to recruit a couple more for 2021, as mor spirit only has foals on the ground.

Libertyrun became Runhappy’s first winner at Indiana Grand today when he won his debut. He’s owned by Mattress Mac and trained by Laura Wohlers.

Tom’s d’Etat will stand at Winstar at the end of his career. Was hoping for a stud farm that gives their stallions more of a chance to succeed.

This has Turkey or Korea written all over the wall. Why even bother to stand him at WinStar when you know he'll be there by the time he has 2 yr olds.

I was hoping that both Tom's de'tat and vekoma would go to farms that are a bit more patient with new stallions than WinStar and spendthrift respectively are

South America: 6-1
Elsewhere in the United States: 10-1

A thorough necropsy and accompanying bloodwork can take up to three months. I'm sure everyone is being extra careful with this one.

The Darley Europe stallion parade is now live for anyone at a loose end

It’s on the Darley website

I kind of thought Lane's End might be interested because of Smart Strike and Candy Ride.

Also, nice @ HAndrian.

Same. Tom's d'Etat is the polar opposite of precocious, so I don't see why that sort of farm would stand him.

I don't want Vekoma to stand anywhere. His action is bad and its genetic. I have a hard time watching him race because he paddles so bad. I don't want that in the thoroughbred population.

If it's genetic, where in his pedigree does it come from. Just asking as one interested in pedigrees...not questioning your viewpoint.
