Phoenix Reach,has his first WINNER

Let's all rush and book in lads. . . .

good man he,s great value i think!

I'm going to ship loads over..............can't wait!

i,d rather him to say norse dancer watdo u think,dont know the difference in stud fee?

I'd rate him just above Norse Dancer,saying that mind ND's owner will have a few to run for himself so he may be able to raise his profile a bit but really neither of them would ever be on our list.

Pimm, how can I put this gently. Phoenix Reach 2yo's 2010 - 45 runs 1 win, 5 4th places.

I think it could perhaps have gone a teeny bit better?

pot,,i think they need time.much better as 3yrs olds,common sense tells you that.just telling u he had his first winner!

pimm,with just one winner can only imagine he will be full next year with 1 or 2 mares,prime candidate to be exported to some hot far off place!

Now standing as a duel purpose stallion...........says it all really!

PR was narowly beaten on debut by Norse Dancer despite coming back with a split pastern. I remember his first run as a 3yo as Andrew Balding had told me he was their best 2yo and had backed him heavily at 13/2 at Newbury for his 3yo maiden. He got into all sorts of trouble in running but just got up before wimnning a Group 3 at Goodwood next time at 12/1 despite again getting hampered in running. No reason why he will succeed as a sire though.

Stallions today need to hit the ground running with their first runners if like P'Reach they don't then they have almost now chance of succeeding in a very tough world,he might make a perfectly okay jump sire but if he is going to stand a chance in that field then imo he would be better off out of NMKT.

no 2 for this lovely horse,should have more winners soon.balding must have some nice ones!

another one not come off the bridle!get in there u good thing!!!!

pimm,Do you own the stallion by any chance?

no!but i,m a big fan!

That's good pimm,but you are very much the minority!

very true.

Very hard for a staying sire to make any impact until May of the first 3yo season so plenty of time.

another phoenix reach, hard held, winner over a mile!!!come on come on come on!!!

pimm, I'm worried for you, try and stay calm, think of your blood pressure

lol i do get excited!ha ha that made me laugh!

omg i,m getting excited again!!
