@Tinky47flat @CalvinLCarter @EmotionalEquine Of these, only Bold Ruler and*Nasrullah survive as sire lines.
@Tinky47flat @CalvinLCarter @EmotionalEquine But yes, add*Turn-to to the list.
Interestingly, the Princequillo line survived until very recently. Mossman, a sprinter, ironically, given Princequillo's original influence, is likely to have been the latter's final flag bearer. He died in 2021 in Australia. Here's a link to a good related article by John Sparkman: drf.com/news/sparkman-…
@Tinky47flat @BlueHenBldstck @EmotionalEquine According to pedigree query, that line is still viable in Australia. But many have not accomplished much on the racetrack. pedigreequery.com/index.php?quer…
@CalvinLCarter @BlueHenBldstck @EmotionalEquine Yes, Mossman appears to have one son still standing at stud, so the line lives on for the moment, but it is likely to be the final stop: clearmountainstud.com.au/stallions/love…
@Tinky47flat @BlueHenBldstck @EmotionalEquine There are a few other male-line descendants of Princequillo but it would take a farm with vision to see their possible potential like @claibornefarm that stood Danzig.
@CalvinLCarter @BlueHenBldstck @EmotionalEquine @claibornefarm No major farm is going to attempt to promote a stallion that lacks commercial appeal. Danzig, on the other hand, was a highly talented son of the greatest sire of his generation, so it didn't take much courage for Claiborne to put him on the roster.
@Tinky47flat @BlueHenBldstck @EmotionalEquine @claibornefarm Agree. But hopefully a smaller farm will see the value of keeping that influential and essential line alive.
@CalvinLCarter @BlueHenBldstck @EmotionalEquine @claibornefarm We agree that adding outcrosses to the increasingly inbred population would be valuable.
