Question re: Sky Mesa

[richard]

Does he sire sound offspring ?

[Linny]

Considering his ability at two and his VERY good pedigree and female family, it's fair to say that more was expected but Chuck is right. His babies have sold pretty well and while he hasn't has a "big" horse he's done OK. The ones that can run a little seem to be able to get you to stakes.

I think he must own a stableful of Sky Mesas because he took my question way too personally. Sky Mesa has not sired a lot of top class horses. If you want a sprinter, are you breeding to him? No. If you want a classic horse, are you breeding to him? No. If you want a grass horse, are you breeding to him? No. He's ok, but the whole point is that on TBC, they made him out to be some great success story. Tapit is already a much better sire than Sky Mesa.

There are some sharp people that post in the Breeding/sales section of TBC.

And for the record I dont nor have I owned a single Sky Mesa (regretfully)

What does Tapit's success have to do with Sky Mesa's?

Nothing - I just threw it out there.
