I agree completely yer ma,seeing Makfi yesterday I'd say 20k let alone 25k looks expensive 15/17k plenty enough for me,of the 2 I'd rather P'Voice wonder if they will retire him?

Poets Voice did look frightfully smart in the Paddock yesterday (on the box, mind!). And Makfi does look a little ordinary by comparison. However small and strong is often no bad thing in the commercial stakes is it.
Makfi and Rip van Winkle, currently dropping like stones in fee potential is no bad thing for me as I'm not a great fan of top of the shop valuations. A lower fee doesn't mean a lesser foal. And if no.1 crop is great looking then they will be valued to the top of the sires record, not to the disappointments I feel. |

See Makfi is retired and at 25k as was indicated,I'd say they have set him at that fee now as connections can't afford to get him beat at the BC,looks a bit expensive to me!

Looks a lot expensive to me. It's all very well getting involved in a bidding war to buy these horses, but he needed to shine until the end of the year to play at that fee level.
If they think he will be so popular next season then good luck to them, but they will be doing a hell of a discount job in subsequent years. Your lot performing at Park Paddocks Prima? |

'Besieged by mare owners' apparently. Presumably before trailing in behind the one time listed winner Red Jazz. Convenient bout of ringworm and surprisingly no offer to come play in Kyoto (well after any ringworm should be gone). His Dad wont be more than £30k next year..let me think.

Yer ma, do you really think that Dubawi will stick at 30?
He's hurtling to the big time which is currently stocked at 65k. I think he will get closer to that level than just under half. It'll be a devil of a job to get one as well, for mere mortals, a fact that the Makfi camp are hoping to capitalise on I shouldn't wonder! Now, what happens if Poets Voice wins in the States and they retire him too??? |

This horse came up in conversation at a dinner party last night,it seems the general consensus is he has been priced to high,several of the guests said they are using him so D.Redvers might pull it off year 1,but you are both right with yes he will have to deal after first year,and for a touch more anyone would want his sire,I too can see a price rise with Dubawi and he may go to 65k myself I could see him also at say 50k,my point about Coolmore sires apart from Galileo on another thread,Dubawi,Dansili,O.Dream,I.Spirit all of these are red hot none are Coolmore results show in the ring.

I suppose 1 Darley 2 Juddmonte 1 Coolmore, 1 I.N.S. makes a decent balance perhaps?
