I have two mares in SA, neither would suit Twice Over but I might be in the market for another mare early next year and if the fee is reasonable he could be worth a punt.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29494407/twice-over-sold-to-south-africa--?post_id=526209331#526209331A bit of artistic license I suppose, these new stallions are seldom undersold.

I wouldn't worry about using him on mares sharp or stout as he got plenty of speedy types with the right mares. He wasn't a disaster up herehttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29494407/twice-over-sold-to-south-africa--?post_id=526125901#526125901intergoal, I never used Oratorio but he was a body type to suit mares at either end of the spectrum perhaps.

I have a couple of mares out there, I would be interested to hear any views on the ideal kind of mare for either stallion.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29494407/twice-over-sold-to-south-africa--?post_id=526118105#526118105Another interesting import to SA, Oratorio is also going to be there next year.

If I had a mare in SA I would definitely be tempted.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29494407/twice-over-sold-to-south-africa--?post_id=526109119#526109119As I no longer have any mares, I am talking hypothetically.

He has size and scope though so if he is cheap, he would be worth sending a mare to.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29494407/twice-over-sold-to-south-africa--?post_id=526094557#526094557Fantasticly tough and consistent racehorse but he suffers from having a sire, Observatory, who was also a good performer on track but very poor as a sire.
