I have looked at the reality, and theoretical probabilities of the two and there is little difference.Equally, the sample size of CP over NS is in the thirties.Therefore, it is far too smallhttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/27053501/which-sire?post_id=486830225#486830225Wilycayote,What is this theoretical "nick" with CP and NS.

Recently perhaps Bahamian Bounty has been the most solid commercially. I would say that Compton is the trickiest, but he remains a useful foal sale stallion.Do some homeworkhttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/27053501/which-sire?post_id=486782941#486782941Historically of the 3 Royal Applause has been the most commercial of these.

Wily, I am aware of the CP x Night shift nick, I just wondered if commercially either of the other 2 would be a better option.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/27053501/which-sire?post_id=486776117#486776117I spoke to all 3 studs yesterday, all are available at the moment although BB and RA are filling up.
