Kingshill 233 Report post Posted February 28, 2021 After his Australian Guinneas victory yesterday at odds of $139 in a race that has had past winners that go on to be top stallions ( Pins, Flying spur, Shamus award and Zabeel to name a few) it got me thinking....... Will he now be hot property and be chased hard by studs to secure him, or will the $139 odds and the fact that he's not a son of say Fastnet rock/Snitzel/Redoubts choice calm them down a bit?

Breeder 608 Report post Posted February 28, 2021 While I understand your point about the win at high odds and some people would see the win as a fluke because of it, I do not think serious people looking at him as a stallion prospect would or should think that way. Lunar Fox won the VRC Sires Produce (Grp 2) as a two year old. Like Hinchinbrook , Foxwedge is by Fastnet Rock. Lunar Fox is from a USA female family --is that a plus or a negative, I do not know. But looking at the race on Saturday it would not surprise to win more black type races and over more distance At this stage I would not think he is in the "hot property" category just yet, but it would not surprise me to see him get to that level.

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted March 1, 2021 Wouldn't hesitate to use him for a second, but given his Sire has been moved into the Bread and Butter category , I'm picking he will be a harder sell than the likes of Ole Kirk,King's Legacy (not sure whats going on with him) etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that he is probably the best of a bloody ordinary lot given what's gone on since. Maybe another colt [or gelding] will prove all dominate in the weeks ahead. My prediction is that he will have the prefix of [NZ] after his name. Liz Huey 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Clydesdale 229 Report post Posted March 6, 2021 Liz, suffix is AFTER the name, prefix is before the name.. Australian Guineas has thrown good stallions, even when they have been beaten, ie. Darcy Brahma Cheers John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
