That is what I thought, but I do not know much about breeding. I have learned tons from you and Balletto and Pedigree Ann. I was thinking maybe $7500 for him.

Isn't he an Ohio bred?

More importantly....why the hell was he retired?

Yes, I believe he is.

Ha ha. I was just reading the article on Bloodhorse about him. I don't know, maybe put him with a mare with stamina in her blood and ya may get a nice baby...

Does he really have anything else left to prove though?

He must have serious physical problems in that he raced only in the BC after July and wasn't in the Malibu.

He leaves us having looked better than he was.

He won a 5F MSW at Thistledown by like 20 lengths, they should have just retired him then. I mean, he really didn't have anything to prove after that.

Stonewall is really pathetic.

I think he has plenty to prove. I believe that he never has won a Grade I event. Right there is something that needs to be proven. I also think he was one horse who wasnt as good as people thought. And yes, he is an Ohio bred. His pedigree isnt that bad on his dads side. Rubiano, Fappiano, Mr Prospector, Raise a Native etc etc.

You may indeed have something there . . . put a horse that runs his heart out with a trainer who works the hell out of his horses and maybe some physical problems came up.

10k... wow.

Nothing about him warrants that stud fee, but not many newly retired horses are priced accordingly.

Rubiano is not known as a sire of sire, and his dam line is rather common.

The only thing I can say thats interesting about him is that he does have a lot of very interesting lines to do some linebreeding and inbreeding to.
