Maybe his offspring might show more speed than you'd expect ... his sire and dam both had absolutely tremendous raw speed ... he... ah, not so much.

he started at 10k and while Stronach always breeds his own mares to his stallions he seemingly was breeding him to way more than Giacomo had a right to breed. They also sold a ton of mares in foal to him including some nice, young prospects but I refused to put money into a giacomo foal and passed on all of them.
