    That's better nearly there as he still looks as if his frontlegs are under him just push his chest back before you take another shot.

    Thanks for the tips Spudley.

    The Falcon, he is standing at Westover in Benger. Yes his stud fee is correct and it is low as he is a new and unknown stallion here in WA and we have decided to price accordingly.

    His full add is in the Classifieds section.

    Billson is by the undisputed Australian king of sires REDOUTE'S CHOICE (AUS). Winning his 3rd champion Australian sire title in 2014 and making history as the sire of the runner up SNITZEL He has recently just celebrated his 24th Group 1 Winner with Lankan Rupee, which has been mentioned to be one of the top rated horses for the season.

    His Dam the well bred SADLERS WELLS mare "TANGERINE DREAM (FR)" has produced the the 6 times winner and group 1 winner PEAR TART ( QLD Tattersall GR1 also BRC QLD Guineas G2). TANGERINE DREAM also has a "limited edition" filly by the sire NORTHERN METEOR and has just delivered a strapping big colt by the runner up Stallion of the year SNITZEL.

    This young stallion ticks all the boxes. Not only does he have some superb bloodlines but he also has the Temperament, personality and the conformation that he has stamped on his current progeny.

    His current progeny are yearlings.

    I wish you luck but it's going to be a very hard slog because pedigree and looks won't guarantee success it's the motor that he's able to put into his offspring that counts and his motor put him racing at the go-carts and there's plenty breed like him that raced at formula 1's.

    He may have it but the mares need to be good.

    He was a Lloyd Williams cast off. Wonder why they didnt geld him? to further try him. He is a half to Pear Tart who sold for $675k to BBA Ireland so must have some breeding, british family, with Sir Ivor on the dams side etc.
  • CPLCPL    632 posts
    Yes and Billson sold for 14k.

    Spudley. The owners have taken over managing the property since Pete passed away. Which if memory serves me right will be 1 year tomorrow the 28/8. :( Billson was brought in partnership with Pete and another gentleman. He was brought over here to race, but sadly his tendon did not hold up. He bowed a tendon quite badly whilst in training at Llyod Williams's establishment. Hence why he was spelled and then went to auction.

    Billson's owners have the dam Tangerine Dream and she has had a nice big snitzel colt this year and is going to Encumbered this season.

    Lol Tivers, we are in the most beautiful little spot on the hillside just south of Harvey. Blink and you will miss the "Town" but our new white fences you can see for miles.

    Yes, no rose coloured glass's here when it comes to the horse industry. But if you don't try you never know.
