    Where is Helenus currently standing? would reckon he could find a home in New Zealand is going better than some of their staying sires.

    WA always complained that we don't have a staying sire.We did.The progeny were reputed to be difficult as youngsters mainly because they weren't meant to be 2yr/3yr.olds.They were mostly stayers...their immature brains didn't cope with pushed and as a result reacted as horses do.It would also be too obvious to point out[but of course I will]that it seems they prefer the softer tracks[also as most stayers do].It seems now that by the time this stallion has enough progeny to prove himself he will be considered old.This probably should go in the breeding forum but follows Damian's comment.
