Officer ... Welcome Success As A Stallion

His runner on Friday at Belmont was super impressive. I wonder though how they will run as 3yr olds.

He has certainly impressed....I thought Johannesburg would be the leading first crop stallion but I'm not sure of that anymore after seeing how well Officer has started....Wow!

I loved J'burg and am still looking forward to his runners but I agree he might not be the leader @ the end of the year. One would think with the sheer number of foals he has that he would have made more of an impact by now (I Know it's still early no one needs to tell me that). Ashford is famous (or perhaps notorious) for huge books and perhaps he might suffer from a lack of selectivity in his mares. Or being from the storm cat line his foals may not be super sound (the one's I have seen personally had a few minor issues).
Officer was never really on my radar as a sire but he is doing really well so far and as stated earlier he may be the best hope to carry on his line.

Very good article in thurs drf . Gibson County is lights out as a frosh sire even tho he had limited matings. Jsbergs ofspring will emerge as they strechout.
