john legend 735 Report post Posted September 3, 2019 The big 3 Lazarus,Vincent and Ultimate Machete are all now at stud with Lazarus getting a good book of 139 at $10000 stateside already and Vincent being well supported in his first season.All 3 retired early to stud through injury which may prove somewhat of a blessing in disguise as these stallions had been raced in the top class throughout their brief careers. They all proved to be worthy group race winners and record breakers. and naturally are exceedingly well bred. All are reasonably priced with Ultimate Machete being a standout at only $3000 plus gst in NZ. They could all become the new generation speed sires and should be more than capable of holding their own with the imports. lets hope they all get great quality and numbers to prove their exciting potential.Poss Vincent being by Art Major has a head start being able to tap into the bettors delight sire line through the hundreds of his mares now heading to stud. But Ultimate machete , I feel will be rushed by Art Major mares as well as many other sire lines EG Christian Cullen,Live or Die Falcon seelster esp with his outst andingly cheap service fee. IMHO.. Of course only time will tell but if ever there were 3 worthy sires to take a risk on then these are the ones. Patiti 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts a double of Tabella Beth in the pedigree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
