We have watched each of his runners very closely and he not only physically stamps his stock but he gives them soundness of mind also--that battling attitude that stallion masters hope year- in-year-out their freshman sires can reproduce. For us Bungle Inthejungle has been a revelation, the way he upgrades his mares is palpable and thus, we really look forward to the future as his quality of mares improves. We believe that in time he can become a real force in the stallion ranks."
