Zed by Zabeel. Zabeel sire of 166 SW (as discussed above over 100 is very good.)

Zed didn't get the chance to show his full ability on the racetrack and only had four starts.

His biggest crop by far was served in 2013 and foaled in 2014. These horses are will be 5yo's in on 1 August 2019.

Commenced stud duties in New Zealand in 2007

Totals 404 198 108 324 10 (6) 19 (13) 10,013,333

Just a quick comment...the SW's would seem to be individual stakes wins, not stakes winners. SW would seem to be the individual stakes winners. So the overall stakes winners to runners is approx 5% which is OK. To put it into perspective, Redoutes Choice in his best season was 19.8% stakes winners to runners

Savabeel’s figures are outstanding must be very close to Zabeel’s.

Re Zed in the “old days” some jumps races received black type. On that basis Zed would have another 6 SW’s which would be 8% SW’s to runners.

I know it would seem that he's gone very quiet (he actually hasn't) but Tavistock in his first crop he got 11 stakes winners from 89 foals......that's 12.5% stakes winners to foals...not runners!!

Everyone has got this stallion wrong at the moment. If you'd seen my post on the topic when they were 2 yo you'd see that I said don't push them, don't sprint them too much even though you know they have speed because the majority of them are stayers. Tavistock is by a Derby winner. His dam is by a Derby winner and the third dam is by Highline, a staying sire of some ability.

Even though Tavistock was a sprinter miler, it was probably his demeanour that made him this but he was probably capable of being an extremely fast stayer with a turn of foot. That is what his progeny are. You would quite rightly ask how I may be qualified to say this and my response would be that I have been researching stride patterns since my university days. I've been mad enough (probably a touch insane) to have invested in technology to provide me with a solution to measure and record this. This is on going. But one thing I can do is bench mark characteristics that identify traits of ability and performance. One of these is identifying the traits that make stayers and sprinters.

Tavistocks are stayers. They're a bit hot headed, have the characteristics of holding their heads a bit high (a Montjeu trait) and have natural speed. So you've got to give them time, be patient and you will reap the rewards

You'd have to say he is struggling though Berri, is it one Stakeswinner all season? for a stallion that had the start and stood at the fee he has it'd be a helluva  risk to send a mare to him. His 3yos don't appear to have done a lot either this season and there hasn't been any standouts despite the supposed better mares.

Am curious if one should look at the quality of mares a stallion is mated to, when trying to access a stallions performance? 

Totally agree. It was done with Frankel in depth with the racetrack ratings of each mare and it has now showed he has not done as well as his initial start.

interesting viewpoint, and there's no doubt that Tavistocks take time and stay exceptionally well. BUT how do you explain the fact that in NZ this season 36 of 46 wins have come at 1600m or less?

Maybe it shows they really are good because they are probably winning at shorter distances in spite of the trainer not because of the trainer. I tend to agree with berri here.

Here is an interesting article via TDN Aus/NZ : 

https://www.tdnausnz.com.au/edition/2018-09-18/revealing-his-invincibility

The last column "MOR%" in the table shows the strike rate from a stallions mares mated to other stallions . The lower the "MOR%" the lower the producing quality of the mare. Obviously "I am Invincible" is the standout in this table and now doubt next few years that number will go up.

and maybe the high ratio of sprinter-milers winning is showing that the progeny are increasingly throwing more to their sire than their dam. I'm no expert on this...
