Of course, there have of course been a few cases where, when a stallion does well, they are relocated out of NY. Catienus attracted a lot of attention when he stood in NY, and had a couple of runners out there in his first crop (with a maiden running 3rd in the Bemont Stakes). There was a lot of back and forth as to whether or not he would stay in NY for the next season, and I would some people here know what went on with that decision and what was behind it.
City Zip was another, and while he became an attractive commodity, what was also going on was that the farm where he stood was being sold, so I am not sure which came first -- the chicken or the egg, so to speak. NY stallions can be like any others, except the top tier, high demand stallions. There can be deals, foal shares, discounted breedings, etc. However, I don't think this is a function of it being NY, but more it being a function of the industry in general. Of course you are not going to see any deals floating around on AP Indy, LOL. The "breed-back" rules are intended to allow the system to have integrity, and to add value. The same could be said for the step level of NY award money. Eric |

Deal making occurs at all levels.
Remember that the $20k stallion is royalty in NY. In KY he's a "moderate" price point. I'm sure that there are a few breeders in NY who would support a higher end stallion but "a few" isn't really enough to make it worth it. With the volume of mares available in KY and only a handful of NY breeders vowing to commit to a stallion who is not especially expensive in KY, it's not a great deal.

The first Belmont was won by a NY bred filly, Ruthless but she hardly has an impact on todays breed.
In the above post about $20k stallions in NY, I should have said "a $20k stallion would be royalty in NY. I agree about Mutakkdim. He's a very underrated horse.

While a giant bust at stud, interestingly enough, the most accomplished son of Hamas so far is Istanbul horse of the year Akindayim. He's won over 20 races and made what amounts to $950,000. Akindayim races are on YouTube - including his win in the Group 1 Sultan Mehmet The Conqueror Cup. The only real good horse I ever remember Mutakddim siring was Lady Tak, and she was only a $7,500 yearling. |

Mutakddim is a good All-Weather sire.
He would be better off in a state with all-weather tracks.

Was Lady Tak the one that upset Dream Supreme at the spa?
The sire thing, Mutakddim has good, solid numbers across the board. I'm still excited about Golden Missile in NY. |

Bianconi, Cozzene, and the La. sire Easyfromthgitgo (Dehere) all hail from the 4m family with their nexus being the great War Admiral broodmare Portage.
Insofar as sons of Seeking The Gold which Mutakddim , Petionville, Cape Town are, NY has none. Seeking the Gold is critcized for producing fragile offspring but Mutakddim (17 starts) seems to produce durable types. Only 1 NY sire has Seeking The Gold as his broodmare sire, Nunzio (Holy Bull).

The Test is early in the meet - but that was the race she was coming out of routes into like you mentioned. Just checked her pp's.
http://www.drf.com/row/pps/ladytak.pdf It shows her selling for 75K - but that was at a 2yo in training sale after she worked fast. She was a 7.5K yearling originally. |

$7.5k yearling. Amazing.
Let me add a tidbit to some of the interesting points in this thread. The most expensive sires in NY are standardbred. http://www.harnessracing.com/sstatio...00&location=NY Sunriver is this year's most expensive NY thoroughbred sire at $15,000. The only one over $10,000. (I prefer the 4 fig sires). Last edited by sumitas : 03-19-2008 at 04:48 PM. |

Actually, I think a couple of high-quality, more expensive stallions in NY could in fact improve the program. If you had some higher quality stallions in NY, the "breed-back" rule would be more effective, in reality -- more attractive.
A new stallion in NY who I think could be interesting is Patriot Act. He's a son of A.P. Indy and I think he comes from old Fred Hooper family/breeding. He's got strong pedigree and has some incredible support behind him. Will Farish and Lane's End are supporting the horse and syndicated him with some very strong breeders, real breeders. He could be an excellent outcross stallion (I think he is a half to the dam Student Council (who is by Kingmambo). The dam's side is pretty strong -- I think a sister to Patriot Act, a graded stakes winner is the dam of graded stakes winner Gradepoint (also by A.P. Indy, I think), and is also the dam of Student Council (Kingmambo). I think that's how the pedigree plays out. Another offspring I think is the dam of Stephen Got Even, and maybe Don't Get Mad. Anyway, I think this horse could get some good mares, and might be attractive to people looking to breed in NY, who might not have before. Eric |
