I know. he had a beautiful page....but you saw the price he brought. the market does not support well planned and executed matings. Because they usually don't include the NOW sire. It's a shame.
Those who are breeding to race have much more options and can be more observant of the dos and don'ts of soundnes etc.
I really liked 85.
