Just as a side note, one of Serena's babies, Arbitrate also stands in Mexico. He has had some success down there, I get info in dribs and drabs. I'm hoping he has a buy back clause as well.

Due this year? I thought he raced at least once last year, not that they don't breed and bring back to race. I just thought it strange if he covered mares in Mexico and came back to race.Originally Posted by Cigar
Last race was in Sept at Laurel, dead last:

Uma-furusato.com (one of the official source) has given the details today.That's very sad news.
The cause of his death has yet to be officially confirmed at the current moment, though.
Chichicastenango(FR), only 14 years old, was a popular stallion standing at Shadai Stallion station since he had been imported from France. He covered some bests of Sunday Silence-line mares including my daughter Daiwa Scarlet. His first crop in Japan will make their debut later this year.
May he R.I.P

(translation)
'' --------------------
Chichicastenango developed colic somewhere around the end of December last year.
On January 5th, he underwent abdominal surgery at the Shadai Horse Clinic (veterinary clinic) and severe constipation was found. He stayed at the clinic for a follow-up in the aftermath of the surgery and seemed to become convalescent. But his condition took a sudden turn for the worse on Jan 13th. He died in spite of intensive care at 6:30 p.m. local time on the same day.....
--------
We hope that his babies will do well.
May he rest in peace.''

Probably not due this year. Could just be a case of Crazy Info out of Internet Rumor, by Lies.
Someone spoke directly to his connections. He was retired due to breathing problems and is standing in Mexico.

Does the the person by the name of "Someone" know if he stood there last year before coming back here to race again in September after breeding season was over a couple months before that? After he bred about 100 mares? Did he stay in training down there in between jumping mares?
Beat Hollow(GB) has been sold to stand as a dual-purpose stallion at Ballylinch Stud in County Kilkenny.

Bankable, runner up in the 2010 Dubai Duty Free, died from severe complications of colic that had become inoperable after just one season at stud in South Africa. http://bloodstock.racingpost.com/new...loodstocknews/
Any Given Saturday sired his first winner in Australia recently. I'd forgotten he shuttled. http://bloodstock.racingpost.com/new...loodstocknews/
Uncle Mo is booked full at 200.

Have to say.. poor Mo.... 200 is a lot, and add extra breeding session for mares that did not catch at the first or second try.Someone's gonna be a busy boy...
Wouldnt you just love to be selling one of the 75 Uncle Mo yearlings that will be in the September yearling sale.
Goodness. How do they determine the number to the book for each stallion? I'm assuming it is no fast rule and they go by what they feel is comfortable for said stallion, but 200 seems like an awful lot to me.

Wouldn't it be fun to see the quality of mares in that entire book. They breed as many seasons as you promise to write a check for at Ashford.
I bet the only time he sees the outdoors is walking between his stall and the shed.
Dont they ever let their boys out in the paddock during the breeding season?... even at night?
Ashford... aka as "chicken factory". They get "out on their product" the first year or so.
Did the same with GC the first yr in the US. His early progeny were...not what you'd expect from a stallion with his race record and pedigree. Almost ruined his stud career,IMO.
Between the chicken factory and Repole, UM will probably beif they continue to breed him like that. UM is a horse with a liver disease...no matter how they spin it.
In fairness to Coolmore, they're hardly the only one who allows books to reach that number when there's a ton of demand. Not that I'm defending them, but some of the other farms don't seem to get quite the forum beating for doing the same thing.

Night time turn out is in the summer for most stallions, you know, when they are Down Under in the winter?
Seriously, I think they exercise them at Ashford on a lunge line - but there ain't no time for turn out when you are breeding four times a day. Part of it is some stallions get so tired and sour later in the season with good grass, they don't want to be caught.
What Jas said is partly true, but Coolmore pioneered the Stallion ATM Machine.
