As the proud owner of a winning Aptitude filly, I hope he turns out to be an even better broodmare sire than expected. He has the blood for it and I love that he adds distance to a foal. I was looking for a filly who wanted a route of ground out of a speed oriented mare, and she fit the bill perfectly, in large part due to him. And much like the Point Given's i've seen... she is big and lanky, almost immature looking as a 3 year old. Great lines though with some good bone. Very fine head.

typical for sires to see a decrease in fees after the first few years. a lot of people like to go to the newbies on the block, so those who are in their 'bubble' years typically see their $ go down.
point given is doing pretty well, and 30k is nothing to sneeze at.

Point Given was another excellent race horse who will probably only make a moderate sire.
Anyone remember his Dam when she was a race horse? She was a run-off speedball, whom I believe Carla Gaines trained. As I remember her, she barely lasted once going a mile on the turf---and all her other wins came while contesting the early pace in short sprint races. She won some rinky dink early season 2yo stake in No Cal. at like 5.5 furlongs. Her style was totally opposite of PG's.
