Whats peoples opinions. A group 3 winner in france and a listed winner in ireland. Would Kerania and Kerasha have made it as broodmares without the aga khans input? Kerasha had a decent race record whilst kerania only ran once at three and disappointed althou going off an odds on favorite.

Making head nor tail of the Aga's set up is a perennial problem is it not!
Daylami's have a 'wind' reputation don't they? and with me he has a 'pig ugly' reputation too. However his better credentialled mares - on confirmation and soundness - must surely be a good shot at producing the goods with the Mill Reef/Mr Prospector cross fitting just about every stallion at stud today. I feel that a large part of the Aga's success is down to shere volume. 300 mares is a mighty good starting point when looking to produce 20 or so Group winners a year. Ofcourse the well documented no need for commerciality is a big contributary factor, and one that always has us all tread carefully when wondering whether to get involved. I guess that size of operation compares to Juddmonte? And they have half an eye on the commercial side, wanting a large stallion operation to help pay for it. Their success rates, are they similar? It's very difficult to compare. Boba, are you looking for a Daylami mare or are you a follower of stats etc.? I know I could never do Aga Khan style matings, but Daylami on a commercial page would not put me off emphatically - but that plain old head and shoulder, that would not be welcome! |

From a purely statistical perspective it is very early days, the sample sizes are far too small for any satisfactory level of confidence.
At the end of 2009 he had 10 wins from 40 runs as a broodmare sire of three year olds, giving an average rating of 84. This gave him an Impact Value of 1.31 (an IV of 1.00 is standard). He had 12 wins from 71 runs as a broodmare sire of two year olds, average rating of 68 and an Impact Value of 1.1. |

I have a daylami out of a kahyasi mare. Thinking about a covering for her next season. Would be a first covering so wondering what stallions to consider.

Before PD gets to you, and tells you it has to be Danehill with that background I'll just say, it has to be Danehill with that background.
Actually Sadlers would be fine as would be just about anything. However if the mix has led to a stout old mare I would worry about going to an extreme of speed, those produced tend to have no trip do they. I daresay you'll have plenty of ideas already, and you perhaps think 'proven' on a maiden mare, but plenty go 1st season to try and produce a sexy result and get some bills paid before everything starts going wrong! |

boba,Pot M is right,but without knowing your mares pedigree its hard to say,I guess with those sire's she is Aga Khan bred?So I doubt she has a very early pedigree,its does also depend if you plan to race or sell,if she is from a good family I myself would not be afraid to use a new sire on her or 2nd season,if you are on a limited budget of say 10k and you want speed then consider Bushranger,or if you don't want speed and you want a top class horse with a fantastic pedigree then perhaps Champs Elysees his full bro' Dansili is doing well so I reckon Champs Elysees will be popular.
Or if you want a potential duel purpose stallion and want a Danehill horse think about Multiplex who is about 1 or 2k and a really nice horse much better than his photo in the sires book and he does stamp his stock always a good start. Whats her name?Maybe I could help,my wife is very knowledgeable about family's and is a successful breeder. |

Daylami is showing more signs of success as a sire of hurdlers ( chasers to a lesser extent ). After his first flat crop which was pretty good he rather went downhill and was packed off to S Africa. Somebody has noticed his success over jumps and he is now in Ireland as a NH stallion.
