Yeah, Wantage would be GRAND! :lol:

I asked about his stud fee last year and they would not give great detail but kept saying they wanted him to be affordable so that he could have a chance to prove his genes were as good as they think he might be, but they wanted it to be high enough not to attract only national hunt mares. Between 7 and 8 seems about right, Westerner standing for 6 at the moment. He's supposedly going to stand his first season at Coolmore itself and maybe go to one of the national hunt stations later on.

I'm convinced he could get decent flat horses too, if sent the right mares, but of course he will not be commerical, at least not to begin with so hopefully owner breeders will use him to get him started. He is so classy I'd think he would upgrade his mares. I'd love to sending him one to breed flat or jumps horses and if the filly we have in training ever does anything off she goes to him. I keep telling her to run faster and she gets Yeats!
