SELLER PAYS ALL COMMISSIONS TO TCB

Stallion	2010 Advertised	NG Price	Share	Rating	Terms/Information
A. P. Indy	150,000	yes	yes	Hold	Fertility always a concern at this stage of a career and the King is off to a slower start in 2010 than we have come to expect. Will be heard from soon no doubt.
A. P. Warrior	10			Sell	First crop yearlings averaged close to 20K; Don't have a good sense of this stallion - quite thick through the neck but probably a harsh undeserved rating; decent race record.
Action This Day	5			Sell	Nothing happening. in PA.
Afleet Alex	15			Buy	Signs are pointing in the right direction and Afleet Express may be the colt that fans of this sire have been waiting for and the Jerkens trainee should give a good account on Saturday at Monmouth. Upgraded based on recent rumblings and reports of bear citing.
After Market	12.5			Hold	Great pedigree; Exclusively American- raced turf only horses have not generally proved to be good sires in North America although that may be changing ( Kittens Joy). Defeated solid handicap horses at four but nothing else of note.
Any Given Saturday	25			Buy	A pound or two under Flower Alley. Defeated Curlin and Hardspun in the Haskell. Can see the A.P. Indy there - Athletic well made weanlings very light on their feet and well received; expect to see a few nice ones at Saratoga Sale. Like him.
Aptitude	7.5			Sell	Ordinary sire.
Aragorn	7.5			Hold	91 foals first crop 2yo 2010. G1T winner - very well managed career but never defeated a really top horse; caught a weak BC Mile. Sire line can hit from anywhere no doubt but not recommending this one. 32K Yearling Average.
Arch	25			Buy	"Blame" has to be rated among the top two or three older horses in training in NA- probably wants no part of Quality Road right now up to 9 furlongs but it's a long season. British still like the horse although that angle has been overplayed. The horse has good size and matches up well with most types; would not breed a coarse mare. Solid stallion with a broad commercial profile. 2011 good year to use him as Blame will overshadow at similar price.
Artie Schiller	15			Hold	All Turf but top class miler; by that Native Dancer "type" sire of Medaglia d'Oro which has struck again with Kittens Joy. Did like a few yearlings ($31,000) that had scope and strength. Forty eight yearlings averaged 30K. Ben will hit with one of these stallions but that may be Summer Bird.
Awesome Again	50			Hold	First Class sire although often gets foals that are not commercial as many tend to be not tall enough for the market and knees are a concern. Having a decent year so far and expect a rebound of sorts here.
Badge Of Silver	10			Hold	Talented horse with strong books early; this horse was seriously talented and could surprise everyone with his first crop.
Bandini	6.5			Hold	Have to admit that I have ignored this horse and don't have a really valid opinion about the progeny because I haven't looked at them - judging by his Buzz Chace selected filly's performance at Belmont the other day that may have been a mistake as she blew by a Speightstown filly I had bought as agent in September that we know can run.
Bellamy Road	10			Buy	Very talented and underrated generally because of a brief career that ended with an injury in the Derby which he led into the stretch. His Wood was a top class performance. Luke warm yearling reception; 95 in first crop. Have to say, not impressed with the foals I've seen but hearing good reports on a number of two year olds. Big winner at Belmont yesterday. Upgraded
Belong to Me	7.5			Hold	Good solid sire but not very commercial at this stage. Breed to race.
Bernardini	60			Buy	Strong Buy; class class class. Second highest yearling average behind Storm Cat. Risky year to use of course but if ever you were to break that rule this is the time..
Bernstein	25			Hold	Twelve Grade 1 winners NA and SA combined; Had expected a move forward in North America but concerned at this point. Use a mare with good dense bone.
Big Brown	55			Hold	Would certainly be a "Buy" if the fee were set properly this year ($20,000). One loose shoe away from Horse Of The Year and a Danzig line stallion with freaky ability when he was right. Unfair negative collective bias against this wonderful horse.
Birdstone	30			Buy	Not big; but a nice classy horse that, with three Classic wins from first crop, has way out-performed expectations. Had a quiet winter and Spring.. Yearlings sold very well ($94,000) and were decent size.
Bluegrass Cat	25			Buy	Seven winners, all at major tracks - cannot remember when that has happened before by mid-June; Will have representatives in the summer stakes so time will tell if this is real. We called this one early and pushed him heavily this breeding season as many of you know. There is a tendency to throw slightly short necks thick at the throat latch which should be considered when breeding. Will know a lot more after Saratoga meet.
Bob and John	8			Hold	Big, imposing horse and well-connected.
Borrego	10			Hold	Strong start but now in a holding pattern; JC Gold Cup and Pacific Classic winner and a winner at two on dirt. Resemblance to Strike The Gold in color and marking doesn't inspire confidence but still like the horse.
Broken Vow	25			Hold	Perennial top thirty sire. Yearlings averaged $45,000 - reason for "hold": Perhaps better to buy produce rather thsn breeding but we like the horse. Good solid middle- distance sire and encouraging reports about 2010 juveniles.
Brother Derek	10			Buy	Very good physical horse, extremely fast and getting decent foals. Many argue against mail-tail inbreeding with this sire line and the numbers support that thinking; but all bets are off in this case; just a hunch that this horse could get runners.
Candy Ride		yes	yes	Buy	The horse is the real deal. Off to an amazing start with the weakest CI mares of any top 50 stallion in memory. 35 NG if you can find one. Strong Buy. I believe that Candy Ride ranks among the top ten runners of the last thirty years, certainly in North and South America, and maybe the world. In fact, I cannot think of a horse that I would bet against him at nine furlongs on dirt.
City Zip	10	yes		Hold	Solid; underrated - a must to use for NY breeders but not for commercial purposes. Breed a mare with size and scope. Having his best year in 2010 and share market about to take off; would guess the current run will pause at 110 - about 50% above last trade. 2008 saw a similar run from 65 to that level before retreating.
Closing Argument	5			Hold	Many winners including Woodbine SW ; moderate race-horse but very useful sire. Continues to produce winners at major tracks and would not give up on this horse as a bread and butter type. Not commercial.
Colonel John	15			Buy	Handsome, tall , athletic looking and probably the best son of a top class sire; great value - Strong Buy; First crop should benefit from the parade of well- bred Tiznows soon to reach a racetrack near you.
Congaree	7.5			Sell	Moved to NY and should do well there.
Congrats	4.5			Hold	New issue here with fourth winner, this time on a big stage. Late developing A.P. Indy horse was a solid Grade 3 level racehorse at 5 when he won a soft G2. From Rokeby's best family that has produced several decent if not brilliant sires including Roar, dam sire of Rachael Al. Well managed and advantaged by dearth of good sires in Ocala last 4 years.
Consolidator	7.5			Hold	Has disappointed so far and moved on to Ocala; Not a top racehorse.
Corinthian	30			Hold	Serious interest across the board in this horse. Share market active and way over-sold. "Hold" not "Buy"reflective of that high Share Price level. Expected fireworks with November foals, and they sold well, but probably disappointing for the sellers. The depth of good young proven sires, many not fully developed, has had a negative impact on the sale of freshman sire's foals.
Curlin	40			Hold	Near as good as they get, and a world of class. He made a much more impressive appearance under tack before a race than he does just standing there - Who am I to knock this magnificent horse but just want to see first foals as it is a beauty contest at auction.
Discreet Cat	20			Buy	Defeated Invasor in Dubai which says it all about his ability; equalled the track record in Cigar Mile; well bred good physical horse.
Distorted Humor	100	yes		Buy	2009 Season adjustment was warranted. Yearlings sold very well ( $272,000) unless you paid the stud fee to produce them but this is the highest level. Nonetheless, one of the best sires in North America. Endowed with powerful pulmonary systems according to the heart people ( grain of salt).
Divine Park	10			Hold	Son of Chester House a little bit lost in the shuffle with so many talented young sires about. Top Class Miler fairly priced.
Dixie Union	35	35		Hold	2009 Yearlings brought three times fee in down market and weanlings sold higher than that. Just a little quiet right now and out of service currently; at a commercial crossroads; yearling buying opportunity, I sense.
Don't Get Mad	3			Sell	Indiana Derby winner.......
Doneraile Court	7.5			Sell	Not commercial but solid and can use in any program - breed to race yes.
Dunkirk	10			Hold	Superlatives abounding once again over the Magic that is Unbridled's Song. Likely to breed over 150 mares; and he is a grand looking horse. The way people gravitate towards this sire line transcends reason and the same thing likely to happen with the foals if they look the part - for me a tough call because you could make money in the short term using these types - but no sons have made it yet.
Dynaformer	150	yes	yes	Buy	More popular in England than U.S.; and he is very popular in the U.S. Book already tight and limited to less than 70. Have a close look at his son Purim because we understand he may not return to the shed in 2011,
E Dubai	10			Sell	2009 improvement earlier in the year but has tailed off since. Market wants to like this horse but it's hard to get paid for one outside of the breeze-up sales.
Eddington	7.5		yes	Sell	Yearlings sold well in September and was off to a decent start. Having second thoughts as they seem to have difficulty winning races against winners.
El Corredor	15			Hold	Has sired 10 Graded Stakes winners with only 4 crops to race through their three year old season including several Grade 1 winners. Easily the best horse produced by Mr. Greeley; Very fair stud fee down from $30,000 recently.
Even The Score	15			Hold	Good start with one pretty good colt; ranks 6th in a super strong crop of sires. Follow.
Elusive Quality	75			Buy	Established Top 40 World Sire. Broad commercial appeal; Great sire in my opinion as only a select few sire horses better than themselves. Sire of two of the best colts in the world recently in Quality Road and Raven's Pass. Yearlings were amazing value at $115,000 and foals averaged even less but can expect a solid rebound as the market recovers. Consistently delivers high quality athletic horses with good size and bone. Strong Buy.
Empire Maker	50			Buy	Making a serious move forward right now as they mature and all signs point to this horse taking his seat at or near the head of the table. May represent the sounder strain of the Fappiano line. Strong Buy.
English Channel	25			Hold	Smart Strike Turf horse won $5M. 151 mares first crop. Almost never recommend American raced turf horses but anxious to see the first crop. Top Class race horse
Eurosilver				Sell	Big first and second ; very small third crop. Not a top runner and first crop have not made an impression. Still waiting for a son of Unbridled's Song.
Exchange Rate	25			Hold	Market obviously wants to like the horse as he does have a very high SW percentage from foals - still for me the best indicator of a good stallion provided that the stakes are Listed or better; solid sire with Florida mares and stronger pedigrees arriving soon; viable commercial play but will need a top horse very soon to maintain the image.
First Defence	12.5			Buy	Not an Unbriled's Song physical type by any means. Have seen the first three foals produced by Juddmont's higher quality mares this week and they are full of quality, leggy - first rate foals. Juddmonte supported this horse strongly in 2009 with 25 of their better mares.
First Samauri	30			Buy	Probably G C's best son on dirt; Tough ticket first two years. Good physical foals and first crop yearlings sold very well - $124,000 average. Amazing first crop book on pedigree.
Five Star Day	5			Sell	OK sire for regional racing program.
Flashy Bull	7.5			Hold	Third best son of Holy Bull and very popular first year at stud; Foals averaged 22K - He could run.
Flatter	5			Buy	Solid numbers and good value although not exactly commercial; useful young sire that may improve. Relatively small crops keep him down the list of those whose first foals are 4.
Flower Alley	12.5			Buy	Possibly the best son of a top 20 world sire although is being overlooked in the ring. Risky year but probably good value and would not discourage using the horse.
Freud	6.5			Buy	Best numbers in NY State - decent sire ; must use in that program soon to be enhanced by slots. Amazing APEX ratings with NYB program behind him. Good regional horse.
Friends Lake	7.5			Sell	Breeze-Ups 2008 held great promise - still waiting.
Forestry	17.5			Buy	Quiet but capable - long slide from 100K and produce from those mating's following soon. More than fairly priced here; getting concerned about my "buy" call.
Fusaichi Pegasus	15			Hold	Decent sire but slowly losing commercial appeal.
Ghostzapper	50	yes		Hold	Two or three impressive winners to date; like sire is often producing short foals and those types don't sell. Much too early to jump ship but could not use at the moment.
Giacomo	7.5			Buy	Tall, angular and weak appearing foals with good frames do not always develop with age - these however appear to be doing just that: There were a number of very interesting yearlings in 2009- quite athletic and light on their feet, and have heard several reports recently from top horseman and have seen a few train myself which leads me to think that this Kentucky Derby winner and member of a Top Class French family, could make a sire. UPGRADED.
Giant's Causeway	100			Buy	Looks like the sire has the top three year old in NA right now; would have Danzig-level statistics with old school book size. Great Sire; The only problem commercially is over-production but, for me, the highest class and perhaps most complete stallion standing. Always a Strong Buy.
Good Reward	5			Hold	G1T winner by Storm Cat with a major pedigree. First crop yearlings sold poorly.
Grand Reward	6.5			Hold	Moderate race-horse won one Stake, a Grade 2, at four. By Storm Cat ex Serena's Song. Has ten winners and two SP two year olds to date. Yearlings sold poorly ( as did most) in 2009: Jury still out.
Grand Slam	17.5			Hold	Foals remain fairly commercial; $46,000 yearling average in a tough year. Useful sire that is very fair breeding value.
Half Ours				Hold	Attractive horse with speed at two. Probably Listed level as racehorse; good early reports on foals. 1st crop should be commercial in November. Interesting Unbridled's Song ex Storm Cat mare with moderate family. Louisiana.
Hard Spun	35			Hold	Son of Danzig with this kind of class and speed, and on dirt, has to be respected - Large proportion of foals inspected recently are on the small side which may hinder the averages; but they will grow.....
Harlan's Holiday	25			Buy	Influence pattern clearly developing toward sprinters with limitations beyond a mile. Nothing wrong with that of course if they keep coming. Delivers the "type" American buyers want and the market will be patient for another year or so but needs to deliver one close to, or better than himself in ability to maintain his commercial position. September 2009 was a fairly thin market for this horse.
Harlington	8.5			Buy	Was knocked out by the foals that I inspected recently - all stamped the same type and full of quality; Lightly raced but a high quality well bred horse with a pedigree to make it.
Hat Trick (JPN)	7.5			Hold	Hong Kong Mile winner; very fast son of Sunday Silence.
Heatseeker	15			Buy	Arguably Giant's Causeways best son on dirt prior to 2010; Very good horse a little overlooked right now - Based on this Farm's track record should follow closely. Foals are very good from what I saw recently at Hill N Dale; Very much a sleeper and under as good a stallion management out there.
Henny Hughes	25			Hold	High Class sprinter. Light on Female Pedigree. Market loved them ( $137,000 - ranks 15th by yearling average). Wait and see.
Henrythenavigator	40			Buy	Top level miler with a very high class sophisticated pedigree: Inbred to aptly named Special - dam of Nureyev and dam of Sadlers Wells dam ( no accident this mating): Very Good Value. Breed a good strong mare .
Honour and Glory				Sell	One of a few sources of Relaunch but not commercial. Pennsylvania.
Horse Greeley				Sell
Indian Charlie	70	yes	yes	Hold	With only two Grade one winning fillies and approaching his 15th birthday without having sired a really top colt the horse seems to me to be approaching a commercial crossroads - have always been a big fan, and continue to be, but the price is looking less and less attractive here.
Indygo Shiner	7.5	5 NG		Buy	First class pedigree and a nice physical horse. A Leading young sire in Argentina with the powerful Ciriani broodmare band supporting him. Horse booking very well and on track for another large book.
Into Mischief	10			Hold	Won a decent Grade 1 race at two and had genuine speed; interesting Harlan's Holiday horse worth following along.
Include	10			Sell	Savior of the line has not come through; Would love to be wrong.
Invasor	20			Hold	Absolutely Top Class - Argentine Pedigree. Follow first foals along closely.
Jazil	7.5			Hold	Belmont winner with first class page - hard to warm up to him.
J Be K	6.5			Buy	Solid sire-line; quality speed; good individual. Moved to Florida where he fits the template at a time with no competition.
Johar				Hold	At four years old there is improvement across he board - two turn graass
Jump Start	10	Yes	Yes	Buy	Miles the best in PA and a great play to take advantage of the most lucrative breeding incentive in the USA. Big book shaping up with a new syndicate behind him - including us. Bred 120 mares this year; easily his largest book.
Kingmambo	Private			Buy	Highest Class
Kitten's Joy	40			Hold	Impressed with Saratoga maidens and they continued to win races wherever they turned up for awhile. They can run that is for sure - so far on turf mostly but has minor SW on dirt.. Downgraded to "Hold" based on curious raise in fee. 20K is the right number.
Kodiak Kowboy	15			Hold	Very fast and fair value at this number - expect him to be commercial if they look the part. Good move separating him from his sire this year. Voted Champion Sprinter with bias against West Coast horses: Medium size balanced horse not quite as popular as I had predicted.
Langfuhr	17.5			Hold	Good consistent sire and solid value; terrific choice to start out a young mare. Yearlings sold very poorly but the physicals just were not there last year. Does tend to get plain workmanlike horses. Commercially neutral right now.
Latent Heat	8.5			Buy	Very attractive bay G1W Maria's Mon in with a big chance. The more I see of his first crop the better I like this horse: Any son of Maria's Mon that hits represents tremendous upside after the loss of that strong Caro influence. Upgraded to Strong Buy for me as you have to take a stand before it happens.
Lewis Michael	5			Buy	Important horse for the sire line; Fast and effective on all surfaces.
Lemon Drop Kid	35			Buy	Very productive across the board but is finding the Grade 1 level tough to crack. Tends to produce plain foals that often don't bring near what they should: Averaged only $62,000 in September which is inexplicable. It took a while for the market to catch up with Smart Strike as well.
Leroidesanimaux	15			Hold	Top Class turf miler from one of Juddmonte's primary families; Blushing Groom over Ahoonoora makes this stallion interesting and potentially important to the breed; trouble is they haven't run much.
Limehouse	10			Hold	8 winners including SW at Keenaland and Woodbine. Would be the first son of Grand Slam to make it so proceed with caution. Moderate but useful pedigree. Yearlings averaged $41,000.
Macho Uno	25			Hold	Champion 2YO sired G1 and Jim Dandy winner 1st crop. Inconsistency a concern but the quality is there.
Majestic Warrior	15			Hold	Would like to see first foals.
Malibu Moon	40	yes		Buy	Very commercial and having perhaps his best year. Has not quite broken through to the top although yearlings averaged close to $100,000 and seems to be on an upward spiral.
Master Command				Hold	G2 level by A P with outstanding distaff pedigree. What foals I have seen have quality.
Medaglia D'Oro	100	yes		Buy	The most promising young sire in the world at the moment and finally a colt winning a Grade 1 will silence any skeptics remaining. Leading Sire in what is an unusually strong class of five or six good stallions; Strong Buy.
Midnight Lute	20			Buy	Magnificent physical. Full by December in 2009 and shuld service approximately 100 mares this, his second season; top class race horse. Sire line a concern of course but there is big heat on first crop foals
Military	5			Sell	Underrated and not commercial. Breed to race yes..
Mineshaft	20			Buy	Recently upgraded and for good reason - look closely at the numbers; the horse is one high profile runner away from a big commercial move forward. Management has stuck with the horse and for those that don't remember, A.P. Indy was not an instant success. Sneaky high yearling average last year.
Mingun	5			Sell	Niarchos Family giving the half-brother to Kingmambo a chance; Have not seen anything yet to say this is going to be a sire; But it took two or three seasons for Kingmambo to get down to business.
Mizzen Mast	15			Buy	Upgraded based on a recent visit to Juddmont; the Farm was encouraged by the first few crops sired by the horse since he was, at first, mated to their moderate mares and improved their stock - the result is that many stronger Juddmonte homebreds will be racing over the next few years. A very Classy horse that according to management works best with feminine pretty types adding bone and scope. Not too late for a commercial revival and a really lovely horse.
Monarchos				Hold	Breed to race sire; very fair fee. Useful and capable of producing a good one.
More Than Ready	30	yes		Hold	Good commercial sire but needs a big horse soon. Book always tight. Very strong in Australia where the fee is 100K; good 2yo in Britain .
Mr. Greeley	50			Hold	Decent commercial sire but had been way over-rated by even top professionals in the past; Does get a beautiful athletic looking horse but except in a few very rare cases fold under pressure in training. The 2010 fee is closer to fair value but not there yet.
Mutakddim	10			Hold	Underrated and not commercial. Breed to race definitely. A "Buy" for a racing program.
North Light	10			Hold	Have to see how they run before investing; decent foals. Ballymacol English Derby winner ignored by Coolmore.
Northern Afleet	10			Buy	Having easily his best year to date. Has been our go to horse under $10,000 for last three years. Yearlings averaged about $30,000. Getting some respect finally with Book very close to Full.
Not For Love	20			Hold	Solid and still fairly commercial. Best in Maryland.
Notional	7.5			Buy	Foals that I have seen are top class including a homebred filly that I am excited about. Good physical horse, solid speed; interesting sire line. Like the horse and bred several clients mares to him again this year. Just have a hunch about this horse.
Officer					Hasta laveesta baby
Offlee Wild	7.5			Sell	Good start, and extremely popular this year at the price, but looking more like a flash in the pan at this stage.
Old Fashioned	12.5			Buy	Very attractive son of Unbridled's Song from the family of Mitterand and French Deputy. Won the Remsen, Rebel and Southwest and was considered a leading contender for the Kentucky Derby going into the Arkansas Derby - He made it further than most of these good USongs do and was injured during the running at odds-on; Had the look of a very high quality colt: Excellent value. Jury out on his pops as a sire of sires but money to be made early on.
Orientate	10			Hold	One or two colts away from move forward and they are showing up in Saturday races recently. Good value for a still relatively young stallion with several Grade 1 winners.
Out of Place				Sell	Out of time.
Petionville				Sell	Breed to race.
Pioneering				Sell	Breed to race.
Pioneerof The Nile	20			Hold	Grade 1 winner and so far the best son of a very high quality sire making a move to the top. Good showing in Derby and injured in Preakness. Solid book shaping up. There was a struggle to get to 120 but he is a nice prospect that is commercially a non-issue for whatever reason.
Pleasant Tap	10			Hold	Breed to race; never commercial - always underrated.
Pleasantly Perfect	10			Hold	2yo success a surprise as he got good at four - have expected move forward in late 2009 and 2010. On negative side small 2nd crop. Commercially irrelevant at the moment but not giving up just yet.
Point Given				Hold	Breed to race. Useful sire.
Pollard's Vision	10			Buy	Tough, strong well- made horse that has done well with moderate mares; Medium sized and the Northern Dancer shows in him. Interesting stallion at a fair price.
Political Force	10			Hold	Defeated G3 horses but in with a chance certainly; another in a long line of young Unbridled's Song stallions - surely one of them have to make it. (?).
Posse	10			Hold	Recently quiet although better quality large crops on the way and he could quickly take off again. In NY.
Powerscourt				Hold	GB G1 winner first crop; follow closely.
Proud Citizen	15			Buy	Leading crop sire with Eclipse winner first crop. Quiet but probably not for too long - strong crops on the way. Fair value.
Pulpit	60			Buy	Top sire. Commercial success. Always book full; sired current 1st and 2nd crop Leading Sires; Bold Ruler continues comeback primarily through him at the moment - strong influence and very good value at this level.
Pure Prize	10			Hold	Useful sire; steady APEX numbers and building a reputation. Excellent value at between $4,000 and $6,000 depending where you look.
Purge	7.5			Hold	Several decent winners; follow very closely. His sire is only 15 years old and no stallion in recent memory (although my memory not what it was) had sons like Tapit and Sky Mesa right out of the box.
Purim	10	6		Buy	Strong Buy. View video under the photo at stallionregister.com then decide for yourself. G1 winning Miler and best standing son of a world-class sire. Won on dirt sprinting in ten flat and won a Grade 3 Derby Prep on dirt at Oaklawn soundly defeating Rockport Harbor as well. Outstanding first foals not seen at the sales as yet; but they're out there.
Quiet American	15			Hold	Venerable - still kickin; Top Class Broodmare Sire.
Ready's Image				Hold	Quality speed - only son available. Old pedigree light up close. Hard to recommend but speed is dangerous.
Red Giant	6			Hold	World Record 10 F Turf and also won sprinting. By GC; great value at price; American bred and raced turf horses getting big chances at stud for the first time in a long while; very fairly priced.
Repent	5			Hold	Jury still out; large crop arriving 2009. Commercially irrelevant at the moment. 1st Kentucky crops on the way. In NY for 2010 and maybe the best option in that State.
Rock Hard Ten	25			Buy	Looking more and more like turf only but much too early to make that call. Big beautiful top-class horse. Follow closely as this situation could explode with one good dirt horse.
Rockport Harbor	12.5			Hold	The most promising of a large group of young Unbridled's Song sires. Yearlings very well received. The fact that no son has shown much so far is the main concern. I am passing on all of these sons.
Roman Ruler	20			Hold	Had top quality speed himself and produced the Champagne winner and several Graded Stakes Level two year old runners including Rule - has leveled off here recently.
Salute the Sarge				Hold	Waiting to see first crop next year,
Scat Daddy	15			Buy	Possibly best son of a quality speed source. Have seen enough foals now to get on board. Big fan.
Seeking the Best	3			Hold	Amazing pedigree - decent physical. See first foals 09. In Canada for 2010.
Seeking the Dia	7.5			Hold	JPN raced Storm Cat. Family of Lyphard.
Shakespeare				Sell	Turf only by Theartrical - very high quality racehorse moved from Kentucky after a slow beginning.
Sharp Humor	7.5			Buy	We've had a buy on this horse from day 1; NY Bred that came down and ran Barbaro to a nose at nine furlongs ; Top class speed . You remember Barbaro, and his surgeon with his 15 minutes- the one who groomed, walked, grazed, bathed and wrote a book ; all while the cameras were rolling - heartwarming really. Apparently, no one else even lifted a finger. Anyway; 3 sharp winners and a Royal Ascot 3rd ; 2 nd best start behind Bluegrass Cat.
Sightseeing	7.5			Buy	Pulpit emerging as a strong Bold Ruler Line sire of sires with Tapit and Sky Mesa; Corinthian and Purge next possibilities - this stallion ranked next in line.
Silver Train	12.5			Buy	Have to give this horse a big shot; Top class speed. Yearlings were not uniform in type but most were strong.
Sky Classic	10			Sell	Turf. Breed to race yes.
Sky Mesa	25			Buy	Things have gone fairly quiet and the concern, commercially, is that with very small crops to follow that this very good sire could lay dormant for some time to come. I happen to think that is very likely to happen but that won't keep me from recommending the horse.
Smart Strike	75			Buy	Top 20 world sire is really quite an amazing stallion.
Smarty Jones	10			Hold	Not promising but is showing some signs of life of late. Kentucky Derby winner deserves a little slack and have to reserve judgement until the four year olds have had a chance.
Smoke Glacken	12.5			Hold	Breed to race at this stage, good sire; Very fair value.
Songandaprayer	12.5	yes	yes	Sell	Disappointing at the present time especially to those who bought the shares on the run-up. On the positive side well-bred large Kentucky crops arriving on the racetrack soon..
Southern Image				Sell
Speightstown	35	yes		Buy	Looks like the real deal although a two turn win in Graded company would help. Hainsfied won the G2 today easily on a one turn 9 f race.; top 5 stallion in a rare crop of top young North American sires. Great value for one of the Big Young Guns. Weanlings sold better, pound for pound, than any of the top young stallions.
Spring At Last	7.5			Hold	Very good miler - solid sire line...and at WinStar, which, by their record, has to be a plus...
Star Dabbler				Sell	Indiana Derby winner.
Stephen Got Even	7.5			Buy	Upgraded based on his being about the best value out there; maybe the market will reconsider and pay a fair price for a nice one - still a fairly young horse. Had the champion 2yo a few years ago and the best three year old in NA last year; go figure.
Stevie Wonder Boy				Buy	Breeders Cup Juvenile winner and Champion 2YO in a good crop. First crop yearlings are outstanding. Interesting stallion from the resurgent Bold Ruler line through A.P. Indy .has 11 in the July sale and the foals sold well and have matured nicely. This horse has every right to be a sire - Steven Got Even is one of the most underrated stallions in North America.
Stormello	7.5			Sell	Could flash speed early.
Stormy Atlantic	35			Buy	Mainly Turf but strong sire with commercial appeal. Yearlings averaged $65,000: Still does not command the respect that he deserves as perennial top twenty sire. Great value.
Street Boss	20			Buy	Book full early first season; Quality Speed; from Street Cry on down - careful with knees.
Street Cry	150			Buy	Strong Buy. Top 20 world sire. Maybe possible to buy a nice one at stud fee or less in 2010.
Street Hero	10			Buy	The sleeper in the line and very fairly priced based on his race record. Knees aren't perfect but much better than his sires. Nice smooth horse with good first foals based on what I have seen so far.
Street Sense	50			Buy	Very popular again second season and expect only a slight drop in book quality / quantity this year. Best son of a major high class Franchise dominated by Darley.
Student Council	10			Hold	Commercial questions; surprise Pacific Classic winner by Kingmambo; see first foals.
Suave	12.5			Hold	Poor yearling sales may suggest the experts missed another one at the beauty contests last year because they are runnung. From the top class family of Lyphard which, before purchased by John Gaines, was the leading sire in France when his oldest crop was 3 years old ! Family lay fairly dormant since late eighties except for this horse and dam. Solid G2 level horse was a tough hombre. Admit I sold him short until today. The universe is expanding along with The A.P. Indy sire line. Filly at Mercury we think can really run.
Successful Appeal				Buy	Very good value at this level.
Tale of the Cat	30			Buy	Good value. Consistent sire with commercial appeal; top 20 on Leading Sire List 2009.
Tapit	50			Buy	Strong Buy. Active share market; now over 12 times stud fee; The Real Deal and may prove the best of a great class of second crop sires. Has stayed basically even with Medaglia with lesser quality mares.
Teuflesberg				Sell	Would like to see first foals but wouldn't back this play.
Thewayyouare	10			Buy	The immediate family is as productive as any in the world at producing Classic winners over the last few years in addition to several very important sires including El Gran Senor and Redoute's Choice. Grade 1 winner is not a big horse but is attractive and is more a Sadler's Wells type than Kingmambo; Using Northern Dancer line mares with size would make sense to me. Very reasonably priced and I would use him for sure but is an unknown commodity here.
Thunder Gulch	10			Sell	Not producing these days.
Tiago	7.5			Hold	Not commercial for the U.S. but a very good G1 winning three year old that did not develop quite as well as expected as a mature horse. Half to Giacomo and another hope for the Ribot Line. Would not discourage horesmen that breed to race from breeding to this nice horse.
Tiznow	75	yes	yes	Buy	American Lion looks like a colt getting good at the right time and should stay 10 furlongs. Strong Buy.
Tiz Wonderful	12.5			Buy	While it is a fact that Joy Gilbert could make a donkey look like a select yearling the foals in the photos of these first foals look top class. Strong interest in this attractive Tiznow "type"in first year at stud 2009 - book over 150 in first year. Very handsome horse and Book Full for the second year running. Expect the foals to sell extremely well in November.
Toccet	5			Sell	Expected early runners.
Touch Gold	10			Hold	Breed to race.
Unbridled Energy	6			Hold	Very much like his sire physically.
Unbridled Song	100			Buy	Commercial goliath in spite of the obvious soundness issues with the horse, and the produce of his sons it appears as well - breeders mindful of the upright tendencies have mitigated that fault somewhat.
U S Ranger	10			Hold	At first glance you could dismiss this Danzig horse but that could be a mistake; Was defeated only a neck in Europe;s premier G1 sprint the July Cup and has Dynaformer and Offlee Wild close up in the pedigree.
Van Nistelrooy	7.5			Sell	Fading.
War Chant	12.5			Hold	Solid enough for racing program - poor commercial play.
War Front				Hold	Quality speed by Danzig - see first foals.
War Pass	20			Hold	Currently under the radar but have to follow first foals.
Whywhywhy	5			Sell	Not a commercial stallion.
Yes It's True	17.5	yes	bonus 2011	Buy	KY crops are moving forward but not to the degree that we had expected. May have found his level - good sire and they continue to sell fairly well. Solid sire.
Zensational	25	yes	230 Bonus 2011	Buy	Dominated his races this year in three straight Grade 1 races; lost all chance at the start of the BC Sprint given his running style; Possibly the best pure sprinter from the Fappiano Line and a superior physical horse.
