He is a millionaire. He is a grade 1 winner. Solid credentials based on what else is being retired to stud.

All of which is meaningless in this breeding market.

I think his accomplishments are what make him undesirable.

Much like you and me.

I think people will go to him.

He has a speed pedigree.

He was fast.

He was at least a pretty decent miler, and there is a perception that good milers make the best stallions.

They might go for him out there in Cali Freddy, I'm not saying 100 mares, but he might get 20-30 opening year. From what I can tell, there is no Unbridled Song blood out there, and like it or not, he is a very good stallion, just produces them with alot of holes.

He would have a better shot in Greece

Hey Freddy, would you rather send a mare to Thorn Song for 3500, or go to this son of UBS for 1k?
