Westover, Hukum and Adayar --- all going to Japan!? :?
A bit surprising that at least one of them didn't get a chance in Ireland or England.

Sadly they don't like 12f stallions, same as in the US. They would have been barely used except by National Hunt breeders.

Then I hope that 5-6 years from now, their offspring kick ass at Ascot and finish 1-2-3 in the Arc. :twisted:

If Workforce can win the Derby and Arc and be sold to Japan, anything can happen. And in the classic breeder mentality of “what have you done for me lately” towards stallions, Adayar hasn’t done much since the King George of 2021. Plus, yeah, the whole 12f stallions barely getting any support thing.

Westover seems a better fit in Japan. Offer they couldn’t refuse, I guess?

Fight On (Into Mischief - Havenlass) retired to Workwize Stables in Alberta.

Finally. An Into Mischief who raced more than 8 times retires to stud.

Does Frankel already have sons standing at stud who have better cred than Westover? :?
TIA.

Cracksman. Ace Impact brought up his stock quite a bit.

I think there are just so many other Frankels going to stud in 2024 (Adayar, Mostahdaf, Chaldean, Onesto, Hurricane Lane, Triple Time) that some of them are going to go by the wayside. Especially with how much Galileo and Danehill are already in the European mare population.

You have to be excited about Layla being in there. She’s in foal too :D
I was very excited to see her name there, and great to know she's in foal, too! It seems like she's had a challenging time getting pregnant, or staying pregnant in the past?

Her colt in Japan broke his maiden recently!

I see Firing Line is no longer on Crestwood's roster. Any idea where he may be?

Not to be mean to Firing Line, but I don't think he's good enough for Turkey.

I had the exact same thought. But we have to wait and see. He certainly isn't the quality that TJK buys.

Getting pregnant has been her issue. But yes I just saw her two year old broke his maiden!
