proart was a handy racehorse,deserves a shot in the barn.off hand i dont think billson raced to much think it retired after limited starts.not sure on service fees?
I have a filly out of Choican and by Bletchley Park I am thinking of sending to stud this year. She is untried due to injury as a foal. Who do you think would be the best bet.
Also what are your thoughts on Proart and Billson as stallions?
To have a dabble in the racing industry and have a "hack" afterwards. The full sister is a rising 3 yr old with Paul Jordan and seems to be doing well and he is supposedly impressed with her. Appears to have semi decent bloodlines so thought why not. So looking for a stallion to suit.
He has covered 36 mares in total over three seasons for 26 live foals with another 11 mares covered in his most recent and third season. He has four named rising 2yo's at this point.
Success will be very difficult for him based on those low numbers.
Billson has 4 live foals from 11 coverings in 2012 with no return recorded in 2013. I had never heard of this stallion until I searched following these comments.
Don't be surprised if Proart bobs up with an early winner or two. The chap who owns him has done the righty by the horse and bought some fairly well performed mares to go to him. I've just broken in 2 fillies, and though not overly big, they were very strong. Not saying he is going to be a stud sensation, but I wouldn't completely overlook him if you have a compatible mare ;)
Not my place to say exactly what they are out of, other than the mares won 6 and 7 races respectively. Both multiple city winning sprinter/milers. The two fillies will be off to Durrant's later in the year so they should get every chance. They did both move quite well.

Had been talking with an old friend over the weekend about Proart he is involved in some this crop weanlings. He tells they all are nice types physically and mentally. Is Proart still at Korilya park with Ellie?

How long has Proart been at stud? In the same basket as Black Tom, been around for awhile , not done much.

Not sure on either stud fee's. Proarts is POA and Billson is also POA.
I might have to go for a drive and check them both out.
