Curious about something. I've never seen this really discussed or opined on before, but is it possible that Exaggerator's obvious proclivity for off tracks could be a factor in his being shipped off to a regional market after only 2 crops to race? Or should something like that not be a concern in the commercial viability of a new stallion?

I've just never seen this brought up before in conversations like this, and I'm wondering what people think.
I would say that is a non-factor. He was well supported his first few years at stud, he still got over 100 mares in his 4th season. His reason for being sold is, he got 19 mares in 2021 and hasn't sired a single graded stakes winner from 2 crops and I don't think he even had a Graded placed horse. Breeders have been losing money on breeding to him too, his 2021 yearlings averaged 16k on a 25k stud fee. There just isn't room at the big commercial farms for stallions who aren't going to cut it. Most are going to fail and move on, that is how its always been.
Exaggerator should stand in BC or Washington- rain!!!

Very cool. I liked him when he was racing and figured he would be popular with Japanese breeders. Glad to see he is succeeding.

Yes, there is a nice nick between Storm Cat line and the Sunday Silence line over there. Should help Bricks and Mortar as well.

I can't believe he is 20 already. It doesn't seem that long ago when he went to stud.

Include has been pensioned.

I'm pretty sure he's the last major stallion of the Domino line.

Such a star! I have always been a big fan of him. Hopefully a happy retirement for him.

G2W Nando Parrado will enter stud at the Irish National Stud with G1W Lucky Vega reverse shuttling from Australia. LV did all his running in Ireland, though.

What is that groom holding in his hand, and what is he doing to the horse's muzzle? Shaving whiskers? I thought Coolmore leaves their horses au natural when it comes to chin whiskers.

War Front over Tapit, and the mare, Hightap, is a MSW herself. Can't really get much better pedigree than that. Great addition to California's breeding program.
