The good people at Poonawalla Stud in India were kind enough to update me on (music, please ) Ace () .

He's doing well. Happy, healthy, adored.

Anyway he has 67 foals in his first crop and they're due to begin racing later this year.

So this number... is this good? Bad? Average?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how many mares he was bred to versus got in foal, or how the demand compares with other Indian sires, but that's a nice crop. It's the same number of mares bred to Aragorn over here, 2 less than Holy Bull, and 6 more than Quiet American or War Chant if that helps your perspective (see: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...ing/mares-bred) I assume they don't bulk breed 150-200 foals per crop over there, but I can't be sure. Any other Danehill's over there with him?
