Following in Birdstones footsteps. Remember last year when people actually thought Birdstone was a good sire? To be fair AA looks like he has a little more depth to his crop and might be a lot more legit. I would guess his fee will go to 35k. Birdstone may stand for 5k next year.

I agree about the depth, at least AA has had sprint winners, route winners, turf winners, etc. This year's results for Birdstone are absolutely frightening. His 2 best performing horses have of course been Summer Bird and Mine That Bird, you know who's 3rd on the list? Stone Legacy, who has career earnings just over 200k.

His leading earner this year is Birdrun who has made 67k. After 8 months that is unbelievably bad for a 5k stallion. Possible insurance claim bad for a 30k stallion

Harlan's Holiday at whatever fee he stands.

[MISTERGEE]

for those on a tight budget West Acre for $2500

Yuck.

city zip seems impressive. nowhere near as highly regarded as his brother when he entered stud, but he's outshining ghostzapper-and quite a few others as well.

I really like Northern Afleet and City Zip for the money ($10k). Both are in the top 15 on the general sire list this year, as usual.
