He must have shown good form as a 2YO. (We have 10 outstanding 2YO’s for 2018) He must have demonstrated his ability to stay 1¼miles as a 3YO.

(Our roster has exceptional performers at every distance including the Gr.1 sire So You Think , as well as American Pharoah and Adelaide , all of whom were world-class at 2000m. Remember Winx and So You Think are both by top-class 2000m performers) He must be sound. ( 14 of our stallions are Gr.1 winners of 47 individual Gr.1 races) He must look masculine. (All our stallions are strictly selected on conformation) He must have the right kind of pedigree. (All our stallions are by world-class sires. We stand numerous proven Gr.1 sires from the Danehill line and exceptional young sires like Pierro and So You Think who are proven Gr.1 sires with Danehill line mares)
