I know very little about horse breeding but have recently purchased a %10 share in a royal lodge yearling,and wondered if the fact that Royal lodge i22 years old if age in a stallion tends to affect the offspring,this is my first venture into ownership and cannot wait to go and watch him race next spring

Most of us here are appreciative of buyers of yearlings and understand your enthusiasm. In answer to your specific question, the age of a stallion can affect fertility, but not ability. Can you enlighten us further as to the dam of your yearling, being the other half of the genetic equation?

I have the oddest sensation of this thread being akin to solving a cryptic crossword! However, your syndicate has a good record, you have top trainers and the pedigrees are good for the job. Best of luck, will keep an eye on results.

Doubt you could say Ben Haslem was a top trainer tbh, I was at his stables recently and to say they appear nearly as old as the castle ajoining them would be a fair assesment .
