The industry is still messed up by not having Sunday Silience and his Halo influence absent from our stock..

Hancock couldn't give that colt away nobody wanted a Halo. Finally Whittingham took him and the rest is lure.

Grand slam at 1/2 price isn't too bad at all.

I dont know that he could make that much of a difference overall. A lot of his success was on the turf and his affinity for Northern Taste mares. He may have been a great sire here also but maybe he would never have gotten a real chance. It is interesting that only recently has anyone imported sons of his.
