Well there's not a great deal racing out from the woodwork is there truehonch.
He is a bit of a hard sell in my view but as ever if he's glorious looking there might be a bit of mileage but I think it's unlikely that they will have a crack. However, something's got to retire this time and Acclaim looks the hot ticket unless someone pops up with an earlier retiree than we imagined. |

Hi PotM, thanks for the reply. I was hoping he may be a little commercial. As you say there isn't much obvious that will be available in the value end of the market and the likes of Mondailiste at £6k makes me nervous. I like LS and I have a mare from the family of Pivotal and thought it may be an angle to try with her.
Havana Gold has obviously done ok and the 2yo's I have seen of his look good. I guess they will push him up to close to £10k. Mayson has followed up reasonably well this year but I have seen a lot of smaller ones by him this year. Heeraat had some nice looking yearlins and had around 120 mares in his 3rd year so may be a 4th season gamble?? I think Bated Breath may still be available next year at around his current fee and I have a feeling next year could be a good year for him. It would be good to get some opinions for next year from everyone, I think I am going to struggle with my few moderate mares. I may be back to Monsieur Bond. Remember him? |

Havana is 15 truehonch.
Aclaim 12500 at the National Bated needs examination I agree. |

I saw Acclaim at HQ last year and have him marked down as good looking so you may well be interested PotM. From a good family and will be interesting to see how he does with Montjeu mares. A little out of my range I'm afraid. HG at 15k seems a little steep. Not as good as Showcasing who went to that price I seem to remember.

After burning plenty with Harbour Watch you'd think they'd be a bit more generous with HG but heyho. My overall take on Aclaim is/was he's two bad runs from being a hcapper and anything north of 10k is too much. But NS get solid repeat business regardless and the ferguson thing is smart. Alarming to me how the foal sales (Tatts / Goffs) are so polarised to UK / Irish. There are very low no's of 6-12k irish sires at Tatts this year which is clearly manufactured and not a pure supply / demand thing. The pinhookers are predominantly irish and frequently 'tied' up with irish studs - will they be smashing into the Mukhadrams, Outstrips, Hot Streaks, Casamentos, Harbour watch etc. I think this is a mistake by Tatts (like they'd care) and makes first season picking even trickier.
Wouldn't be up for Lighting Spear - not enough pzazz to overcome Pivotal / not 2yo. Bated Breath will be v busy and hope but doubt they'll leave the fee (in fairness they do price sensibly by comparison) |

Ardad is standing at Overbury and is probably another reason to retire them at 2!! By the way does anyone know if Cotai Glory is getting a chance next year? He is a big strong good looking colt that would suit one of mine down to the ground and should be cheap.
I notice Darley have fixed next years fees and moved a few around. No new ones yet for the club though. What about Boynton? |
