Default Stonewall... wtf???

A.P. Warrior 20k
British Blue 5k
Doneraile Court 10k
It's No Joke 10k
Lawyer Ron Private
Leroidesanimaux 25k
Marquetry 7.5k
Medaglia d'Oro 40k
Value Plus 12.5k

They're filling up the barn quickly as hell but what happened to quality over quantity?

A.P. Warrior at 20k is a lil steep but he's got a sexy pedigree... he'll probably get a decent book. Still questionable fee though.

British Blue is the real sleeper here. I heard he's a very good looking boy and he traces back to the old Darby Dan fam of Golden Trail. This family can get you a big sire, such as Dynaformer and Brian's Time... then again, they also gave us Monarchos (I still heart him).

Donerail Court... At any other KY farm, he'd be shipped out to a regional market.

It's No Joke... you sure?

Lawyer Ron... wonder what he's going for...

Leroi... Kinda like him. Talented horse with a family who can produce a stallion.

Marquetry... one of the best values at stud. Can get you a very talented runner. Good breed to race type. Good price. Also a good sabino sire for the color breeders.

Medaglia... I just cant see him as a stallion of any note.

Value Plus... Take Unbridled's Song out of the equation and he's a colt that never won a Graded race out of a Rollin On Over mare. Huh??!!

Interesting line up to say the least.

I was there 4 weeks ago for a stallion show, got in trouble with some people because I told the groom that Value Plus was a no-heart bum.

Only one I like out of this group is MDO, but I'm not sure 40k is fair. AP Warrior is not worth 20K, despite his pedigree. British Blue was a good looker... since when was It's No Joke and Lawyer Ron added?

lawyer ron was purchased before the ky derby. no word yet on retirement, just that he will stand at stonewall when he is thru. he needs to continue to run, pad his resume and get some of that tarnish off of his image.

mdo is a bit high imo, but aren't they all anymore???
