No, I didn't. A poster had suggested that I was wrong for getting into an argument on TBC (obviously a slam at TBC which doesn't appear to be highly regarded here) and I used a poster's comment about Sky Diva as an example. I wasn't knocking Sky Diva - I'm sorry she obviously got hurt and never ran as a 3 year old - but she ran a very poor race in the Demoiselle. That poster was trying to suggest that any race where you finish in the top 3 in a graded race is a good performance....and that's not rue. Sky Diva was the favorite in that race and got trounced. I was trying to back up that poster in his opinion about TBC. |

No, I just have or had a different opinion. You did completely misread my post; I wasn't using Sky Diva as an example of my opinion about Sky Mesa - not even close. |

According to the statistics posted, he in fact, is a leading sire (leading 2nd crop sire in 2008). |

It is very difficult for a stallion with three crops to rank real high on the general sire list, especially one like SM who's 2 yos dont do much running early in the year. |

Giants causeway has 7 (everyone supersized) Smart Strike 11 crops Megdalia d'oro is one of the most successful young sires ever Is he on par with these stallions? no not yet. Maybe he never will be. But if you compare almost any sire to these 4 they will not measure up. But it is hard to say that SM hasnt been anything other than a big success so far. |

Again, very fair. I'm glad to have been wrong, to be honest, because Pulpit seems to be the one who's going to carry on the Bold Ruler line (well, I'm anxious to see Bernardini's babies). Now I'm waiting to see how Corinthian does.... |

![]() I'm waiting for someone to quantify the incidence of cryptorchidism and other fertility issues in the A.P. Indy line now that he's a sire of sires.
"The perfect horse" as the commercial claims. |
