Then he bought Redoutes for chump change :lol: That also ended up rather well.The genius that is John Messara..
Flying Spur wasn't bad either. Arrowfield isn't doing too bad.Not A Single Doubt in my mind that he has as good an eye for a stallion as anyone in the world..
Snitzel was another magic find..
Occy was so unlucky, i backed him well dad backed him for me ;-) Danzero was another handy sire for them.

I may have been tad biased my money was on Occy :lol:
Agree with this, Zabeel is in his twilight years and there are not many staying type sires in Aus bar Street Cry and High Chaparral. Massive void in the marketMe too..
Hope he turns out as good as his old man..
We need to get some stamina back in our bloodlines..

SO You Think was used to being first on the racetrack - now he is showing the same sense of timing at stud.
This little colt, pictured with his mother Soft Landing at picturesque Bell View Park Stud on the NSW south coast, is the first foal born to be sired by former champion racehorse So You Think.
The foal is also believed to be the first born anywhere in Australia this coming breeding season.
A commonsense rule change a few years ago ensures that the So You Think colt, and any others born before August 1, will be included in the estimated 16,000-strong foal crop this spring breeding season. The So You Think colt was born at around 4pm last Thursday and is the third foal out of broodmare Soft Landing, herself a daughter of Al Maher and a half-sister to Group 1 winners Universal Prince and Universal Queen."
"The colt is a nice, leggy, dark-coloured foal with plenty of size and quality - a bit like his old man," Bell View Park's Adam Mackrell said.
"His birth weight was 58.5kg, which is a very good size considering he was a couple of weeks early."
Bell View Park Stud, a family-owned boutique broodmare farm, bred the So You Think colt with partner Dr Michael Alexeeff of Foote Street Investments.
Soft Landing also has a yearling filly by So You Think's sire High Chaparral and a weanling colt by More Than Ready.
So You Think, winner of 10 Group 1 races including two Cox Plates (2009-10) and the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last year, has just completed serving to northern hemisphere time at Coolmore Stud in Ireland and is on a flight bound for Sydney that is due to arrive later today with super sires Fastnet Rock, Excelebration, Choisir and High Chaparral.
Darley's shuttle stallions are also due to arrive in the next day or so, including Exceed And Excel, Sepoy and Helmet from England, while Lonhro, Bernadini and Medgalia D'Oro are coming in from America.
Animal Kingdom, the Dubai World Cup and Kentucky Derby winner, arrived in Sydney last night and was placed in quarantine next to fellow Arrowfield Stud stallion Redoute's Choice, who returned from France on Saturday after serving 103 mares at the Aga Khan's famous Bonneval Stud.
All the shuttle stallions will remain in quarantine at the Eastern Creek facility in western Sydney until mid-August.
Massive win with a Wazn like turn of foot.
Too funny..
