Coolmore fees for new stallions

Like I said, I think he should continue running. I think they're desperately trying to figure out who's going to be their heir apparent to Danehill. They're retiring everything Danehill that's shown any type of class... he would be the one I think stands the best chance. In my mind, he'll get a full book at that price, but yeah... he could have done more, no question. In reality, I would have loved to see him stand at Ashford. I would have bred to him this spring.

as a side note, here are the current stallions by danehill with coolmore. the best is probably Danehill Dancer. they also have Catcher In The Rye, Oratorio, The Rock, Spartacus and Fastnet Rock down under. Aussie Rules fits in somewhere between Catcher In The Rye and Oratorio!

Im assuming you're ranking them in order of class of pedigree? If thats the case, I would putt Aussie Rules first, followed by Oratorio and then Catcher in the Rye. Of course, these are unproven studss...

Interestingly enough, Danehill Dancer has every right to be a solid stallion. For those interested in pedigrees and class of female family, both Danehill Dancer and Street Sense hail from the bluehen Lianga, who is their 3rd and 4th dam, respectively.

As a type of racehorse, Aussie Rules fits in between those two.. not quite up to Oratorio's level and the latter did win a G1 at 2 and 2 of the biggest 10f races in Europe at 3. and better than what the Catcher showed. dont know enough about breeding to class them by prospects at stud..

Oh ok, thats what I was asking... if you ranking them on pedigree or performance. My ranking is more on pedigree.
