I wouldn't disagree with you, but it's been 4 days since his work. There's a good deal in a great regional market, for a decent stud fee? All in four or five days? I thought this stuff takes time. And why be so hush-hush about a possible injury? With social media, it's going to get out anyway. If it was my mare I'm breeding, I'd want to know. We don't even know if Corfu was an unsound horse or not.

I imagine the farm will tell you the nature of his injury if you're considering breeding to him.

And why be so hush-hush? Almost everyone in the TB business is, most of the time.

Mr Sidney... Hubba hubba!
I love Sinndar, he was/is classy. Thanks for the link.

[Ketama]

Take a close look at Trempolino. You won't believe that he is 30 years old! Looks gorgeous! He is retired from stud duties and just enjoying his senior years.

[serenassong]

Take a close look at Trempolino. You won't believe that he is 30 years old! Looks gorgeous! He is retired from stud duties and just enjoying his senior years.

I was just going to say that, he does look wonderful.

[mariasmon]

I didn't even realize Trempolino was still alive!

[TapitsGal]

for a horse that's 30 Trempolino looks FANTASTIC

[Izvestia]

Best looking 30-year-old I've ever seen. He is vibrant.

Endorsement is headed to Haras La Quebrada (http://www.laquebrada.com.ar/esp/home.html). I don't think their list of stallions/shuttles is updated for 2014 though, since Indygo Shiner is still listed there.

[DanLewis]

Okay im confused.. inthe last post with the National Hunt stallions.. im not familiar with the stallions at the National Hunt, I recognize the reason for say Fame And Glory covering so many mares, but scratch my head with Flemensfirth, Getaway, and Mahler covered more mares then his sire??? and Yeats covering 252 mares!!! I love all their pedigrees, and race records but wonder why they covered more mares.. Someone please explain what is the difference between say a Coolmore stallion and a National Hunt stallion?

[Northport]

National Hunt stallions are typically the less fashionable Coolmore stud prospects. Most are more stayer types with very cheap fees and target jumps racing markets
