Fusaichi Pegasus
 

What do you think of him so far as a sire? I would list him as a disappointment when you consider the quality mares he gets and the hoopla around him when he was racing. He needs to step up his game in the shed.

I hate him. Unsound legs + unsound minds = trouble.

Yeah and just looking at all-time earnings from these sires, his leading earner is still Officer, another unsound overrated horse.

Not disagreeing but do you have any numbers like percent of starters..avg earnings per starter..?

The above post should be a decent guage.

Big write up in my Weekly bible "Artie Schiller" to stand here for 22,000 how sound was he ?

I remember seeing 2 FuPegs at the Timonium 2yo sale both were
kind of crazy and their confirmation was less than desirable. I
Think both sold for less than 10k. I know the one is struggling
in bottom maiden claimers at Philly Park.

Oh phfew, Officer (JPN)...really need to put the abbreviation on there. I was like 'ok now Bertrando...'

I hear the pasterns are a big problem with FuPegs. The ones I've seen pictures of and been told about are long.

And agreed, being headcases never helps. Not gonna keep the fee too high forever are they? What's legit based on what he gets and his sire ranking?

Officer (the one we know in the USA) is by Bertrando and was born one year before FuPeg won the Derby.

Officer, the "leading earner" of FuPeg is a Japanese horse who has won 35 million Yen (or 480,000 USD)

Thank you guys, I missed that, didn't think about the JPN Officer....That actually makes him look worse. 480,000 U.S. doesn't knock my socks off for a guy who's been at stud for some time now.

you know what they say Merlinsky..

mediocre minds think alike

Doesnt make sense I thought Roman Ruler made more.. need to check

yes, Roman Ruler made 1.2 mill, Andromedas Hero won more (836,000)

This must be the earnings for 2006 only

Maybe the Bloodhorse data is off....At the end of the day, earnings by 1 horse by any sire doesn't mean much....I'd rather have a bunch of consistent runners and he seems to have unsound underperforming ones.

Yeah it looks like the best part of him is running down the mares legs.

He's still one of my favorite horses because back in the day...ages ago...when I was a young lad like PG1985 and NDFanMan HOLLABACK LOOK AT ME YO, I had him keyed in my exactas and tris and had a 'uuuge win bet on him. Times have changed, however, and my ballin' *jumpshot* days are over.

LOL, OMG.

My thoughts exactly. Can't stand Fu-Pig.

They do look like they are about to snap mentally at any moment. :D

If 'pretty' is your thing, he does throw some lookers.

He does have a gorgeous head, but that's about it for him. Roman Ruler got that gorgeous head also...

If pretty only paid the vet bills....
