Commercially has been very good off a low fee, was a G1 winning 2yo and a Guineas winning 3yo, fertility is fine running at 81% so far over 3 seasons, has had good performers in the Northern Hemisphere also.

You can never make a judgement on a stallion after a 2yo season, gain a better idea after 3yo season and will be hard to make a real impact of his small books. But last year served a real big number so bodes well for the future , has a promising horse like Padraig in good hands in Aussie .

Reasonable value (not as good as last season though!) I would suggest for the quality of racehorse he was, the pedigree he has and the fact he's already sired 5 stakeswinners worldwide from only 64 runners and a solid start in NZ.

A chance to be a handy stallion in NZ IMO.

Very harsh saying average so far on the track, would suggest 3 winners from 11 runners in NZ Including a G2 and Listed winner and a promising horse in Padraig pretty handy, needs them to kick on that's the key but it is tough for first season sires in 2yo races, ask All Too Hard over  in AUS, sired his first winner in Australia this week from 25 runners and overall is 2 minor winners from 28 runners!

At the same stage Jimmy Choux was similar and had a good horse in Manolo Blahnik (ruined him!), pity this year the Jimmy's look more like donkeys! And have been very average indeed.

Interesting news...I guess if  you’ve invested in promising stallions such as Embellish & Age of Fire, I guess that leaves little room for horses such as Power....but then often when one door closes, another door opens.  So good luck Power...you’ll get plenty of takers and no doubt plenty of winners....better tracks are just the start...
