Rev,
The problem is that breeding in Ny is still done on a minor scale.
Infrastructure in any business is the hardest thing to build.
The money behind farms in Ky is tremendous. The money behind Ny farms very much less so. And more importantly, the oney spent by those breeding in Ny is even less.
A few decent sires have stood here, only to be moved upon initial success.
Belong To Me and Citi Zip would be two.
If some day a powerful breeding farm decides to start a NY divisioon of stallions, it will work and prosper.
The money here is tremendous but noone as of yet noone is willing to kick up the bucks to buy and stand a good stallion.
The weather is of no concern.
