Baz (NZ) 1,749 Report post Posted June 9, 2024 How well have the progeny of Belardo been going recently with multiple winners including 3 stakes winners this past couple of weeks. Obviously his stock can handle all types of conditions and have ability. Was he a loss to NZ breeders due to low patronage?

gubellini 4,483 Report post Posted June 11, 2024 Baz Belardo only served 13 mares in his last season here so Haunui Stud decided not to shuttle him again. His progeny are going huge especially on very heavy tracks. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stodge 2,399 Report post Posted June 11, 2024 His best, oddly enough, is an American turf type called GOLD PHOENIX who seems to love firm ground. Fourth in the Breeders Cup Turf last year, he won the Grade 2 Charlie Whittingham Handicap at Santa Anita in early May. BELARDO stands at the Bearstone Stud in Market Drayton for £5,500. gubellini, Baz (NZ) and Black Kirrama 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz (NZ) 1,749 Report post Posted June 17, 2024 He has a handy one called Red Lion in Hong Kong also... a multiple group performer that ran a GR.1 2nd in the Champions Mile last start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz (NZ) 1,749 Report post Posted June 30, 2024 Belardo (IRE) sired a further 4 winners this long weekend including another stakes winner in Australia. Looking at this season's stallion premiership...Belardo is 2nd only to Savabeel for Winners to Runners. Surprised but not surprised with recent results !

Palatable 55 Report post Posted July 24, 2024 Aah the curse of a good wet weather stallion. Not since Noble Bijou and Zamazaan set the 80s alight have our best heavy track stallions been respected. His Royal Highness, Shinko King and Al Akbar made a fair fist of careers from humble origins, but were never given the best of mares. The Entain investment could change all that. Looking at Baz's snapshot above, Belardo is very close to other highly rated stallions for prize money. The general increase in stakes across all races is helping the winter gallopers pay their way. Breeders should be taking a closer look at sending mares to winter stallions again. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would only need to be half as good as the ones above! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
