To stud in 1985 and a very good record as a producer of high class middle
distance types and stayers including Quest For Fame (Derby), Millernary
(St. Leger), Nedawi (St. Leger), Knight's Baroness (Irish Oaks) along with
occasional successes at shorter distances such as Spectrum
(Irish 2,000 Guineas). Also gets examples of high class 2yo winners like
Edabiya (7f Group 1) and Armiger (8f Group1).
-
Below average record with relatively small sets of British raced 2yos in
recent seasons in line with his reputation for getting middle distance
types that need time to develop. Gets wins at 7f upwards and not before
August in 2002-5. Recent winners have all been at maiden level although
Charlie Cool was entered
for better races in 2005.
