His claim to fame would have to be, seriously, a distant second to Discreet Cat in that one's debut. Actually, I was referring to Superfly. As far as Andromeda's Hero, I think he won a Grade 3 stake late last year at Calder, maybe the Fred Hooper. Last edited by blackthroatedwind : 12-06-2006 at 10:12 PM.

His breeding isnt bad. Who knows how his off-spring will do on the track. Maybe talent skipped him, but maybe he can pass it on to his babies. He has a little too much inbreeding for me but who doesnt these days. He did sell for $310k so who knows. But I wouldnt pay $12,500 for him.

Agree with eurobounce. I wouldn't pay 12,500 either, but I don't think the price is *all* that ridiculous, based on the current ridiculous market. His pedigree isn't bad at all. Had 24 starts, most of them graded stakes. Did he retire sound? I don't remember hearing about any soundness issues with him.(I really don't remember) At least he showed up to most of the big dances. Wasn't ever the best dancer, but he was consistent. (sure, mostly consistently, uh.....slow, but he did grab some paychecks here and there)
Give him a break, you guys! Suzanne

He had no speed, and 12,500 is still one hell of a lot of money. He's the kinda horse who may have done well in a niche market, not in Ky at 12,500. He'll end up in a niche market at 3500 or 5000 in a few years, but only after hes wasted 2-3 years languishing at a ridiculous price in KY.

Ny needs one of the players with REAL money from Kentucky to set up a satellite breeding operation in NY. There is plenty of farmland available in NY, and the breeding program is great. If one of the Kentucky operations were to set up a satellite program in NY, they could shuffle up some stallions who arent quite making it the way they expected them to, but that they don't want to sell and give up on. Noone involved in the NY breeding program up here seems to understand this. They just hired a new guy(whose main qualification appears to be that his Dad was a big player, Dragone) and before that Dennis Brida ran the thing(LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I'm the cult of personality). I mean, how difficult could it be to approach one of the major players down there, and ask them about interest in setting up a satellite farm up here? They don't wanna do that because there are only 2-3 players up here and they don't wanna disrupt their little monopoly.
