He's a cool horse from a great family. Hopefully breeders there will embrace him. It's tough for a turf horse like him to get any traction at stud.

Yeah, I always think of it as Cynthia Phipps' main line, cause its the line that Versailles Treaty came from. They don't breed many mares in Alberta but hopefully he finds his niche, he has moved around quite a bit. I guess if he gets 15 mares in Alberta not much different than getting 20 in Pennsylvania.

Tiger Moth (Galileo x Lesson in Humility, by Mujadil) will stand in Turkey for 2022. He is a G3W and runner-up in the G1 Melbourne Cup. Hope he is successful over there, I like his name.

The owners of one of the former farms lentenor stood at are pretty enraged that Calumet entered him in the January sale because they've told Calumet all along that if lentenor ever needed a retirement home they'd take him. They are going to try and contact Calumet to keep lentenor from going to the sale

There is something off about Calumet sending him to sale. It didn’t fit considering who bred him and owned him.

Its the 2nd year in a row they tried to sell him, just last year people got pissed off when him and a handful of other Calumet stallions were entered in the Keeneland Digital Sale so they were withdrawn.

The person I'm talking to said they'd keep me updated. This particular farm tried to buy lentenor outright from Calumet in 2019 and was turned down. Calumet basically said they wanted him in Kentucky. I was also told that if this farm can't get him they are working on setting something up so that lentenor never has to worry about anything bad happening to him. I'd made a post in a horse racing group on Facebook venting about Lentenor being sold and that's what alerted the owners of the former breeding farm he stood at to step up and try to help him

I wonder what is a full book at Darley. 150-175 mares? I know it isnt Spendthrift or Coolmore size (aka the limit does not exist).

Seeing the fees that Maxfield, Essential Quality, Charlatan, etc are commanding (and I guess selling out at) makes it seem like we’re back in the early- mid 2000s

I looked at the last couple years looks like in that range, low 160s seemed to be the highest.

That's very sad new. :(
I liked Dansili.
The first foal out of the great mare Hasili became an influential stallion.
And he was an excellent racer on the turf, too, even if he didn't get any G1 title.
His fastest closing as he finished 3rd to War Chant in the BC Mile remains unforgettable to me.

Dansili was a solid racehorse, even without that elusive group I. Like Tachyon, I remember his fast-closing third in the Breeders' Cup Mile.

Gemologist was sold to South Korea, imported on December 10th. I don't remember seeing anything here but I may have just missed it.

Korea has a number of Tiznow sons; they seem to really like the bloodline.
ETA: They bought Tiz Wonderful, Colonel John (and that one hurt - really liked him), Tizway (although he has been sold on to Turkey - hope that is a little safer).

The jacksons have now been made aware of lentenors situation. So hopefully between the Jacksons and his old farm from Indiana he can find a soft landing. He's hip #1565 in book 4

Was Risque Remarque one that they entered into the sale? I had wanted to purchase him previously before he went to Calumet, but not for breeding racehorses.

mildly surprised he wasn't offered to Old Friends, tho i know they don't have infinite room. i agree - just hope he ends up safe.
