It's hard to tell whether Mineshaft was truly a late developer or not since he started his career on grass. He may have been a TC contender had he raced solely in the US. We'll never know. I'm extremely confident that this guy will be a huge sire success - with his pedigree and ability? I'm not so sure that he won't be capable of siring good 2 year olds.....
I do think Sky Mesa will be a wonderful sire........and his yearlings show that people agree. I agree with John Ferguson - he also has every right to sire good grass horses. Pulpit is a very fine turf sire.
