According to the latest Thoroughbred Times Stallion Directory, at least 58 stallion sons of Gone West are plying their trade worldwide. Of this sizeable collection, the two highest-priced in 2007--and therefore arguably the most important to the American industry--were Elusive Quality at $100,000 and Mr. Greeley at $75,000 (although the connections of the unproven Speightstown and Johar might want to disagree with that statement, as might those of the distinctly promising Proud Citizen). Of course, Elusive Quality and Mr. Greeley originally made their name at much lower fees, neither of them having won anything more prestigious than Grade III events during their careers as sprinter-milers. Elusive Quality spend his first four seasons at only $10,000 before a strong showing from his first juveniles in 2002 created considerable demand for his 2003 services at $30,000. The exploits of such as Omega Code, Great Notion, Gimmeawink and Chimichurri helped raise Elusive Quality's fee to $50,000 for 2004--with this fee being set before a second-crop two-year-old called Smarty Jones gained his first stakes success. Interest reached fever pitch during the 2004 covering season when Smarty Jones was establishing himself as the champion colt of his generation, and Elusive Quality's fee consequently rose to $100,000 in 2005.

Each of his four seasons spent at Quality's 2004 crop. Not only was it comfortably his that fee yielded at least one Grade I winner--El Corredor biggest crop up to that stage, at 108 foals, but it also in his first, Celtic Melody and Reel Buddy in his second, represents his first step up the price ladder, to $30,000 Nonsuch Bay in his third and Whywhywhy in his fourth-- in 2003. Although it has produced a handful of minor to set his fee rising, but it wasn't until 2003 that his stakes winners and Listed winners, only one of the 108 fee reached $50,000. has so far managed to reach the first three in a group It's natural to expect a steep rise in fee to translate or graded contest. We are still also waiting for the first into a similarly steep rise in the stallion's achievements, graded winner from Elusive Quality's 82-strong 2003 but this doesn't always follow. This can happen crop, despite the consistent efforts of such as G City because a rise in fee inevitably affects the type of mare Gal and Smart N Pretty, but this crop was sired at only sent to a stallion--perhaps switching the emphasis from $10,000. Perhaps some of Elusive Quality's three-year- hard-knocking mares below graded level to less tough olds will make their mark at a later stage, just as his types with classier bloodlines. The emphasis can also six-year-old daughter Maryfield has done this year with switch from speed to a more Classic type. Another her victories in the GII Distaff Breeders' Cup H. and possible factor is that rising nomination fees and GI Ballerina S. escalating prices in the sales ring can put the stallion Although I am disappointed with Elusive Quality's and his progeny beyond the reach the very people who 2004 crop, I appreciate that the pre-Smarty Jones helped make the stallion's name. Elusive Quality was a very different commodity to the It is worth mentioning that Elusive Quality finished post-Smarty Jones stallion. Whereas breeders had third on the international first-crop sires' list of 2002, largely pigeon-holed the son of Gone West as a sire of which was headed by Grand Slam, another son of Gone sprinter-milers, Smarty Jones's victories in the West. Grand Slam's fee rose from $25,000 in 2002 to Kentucky Derby and Preakness opened up a whole new $30,000 in 2003 and then to $75,000 in 2004 before range of possibilities. peaking at $85,000 in 2005. But his fee was on the It is therefore fair to think that Elusive Quality's first slide before his higher-priced $100,000 crop will prove an entirely different crops had had a chance to prove proposition. There are 19 youngsters from this crop in themselves, and he was down to $35,000 this year.

MSHAWISH MSHAWISH – STALLION SYNOPSIS “A remarkably tough, adaptable and consistent performer, Mshawish has captured seven black-type events, scoring on dirt and turf, and on three different continents, his triumphs including the Donn Handicap (gr. I) and Gulfstream Park Handicap (gr. I). Mshawish is a son of Medaglia d’Oro, who is one of the world’s most important sires, and who has also achieved the unique feat of siring Champion Two-Year-Olds in the U.S., Europe and Australia. On the distaff side Mshawish comes from the immediate family of Champion U.S. Two-Year-Old Filly Halfbridled.” Mshawish is a product of the hugely successful cross of Medaglia d’Oro and his sons over Mr. Prospector line mares, one that has produced no less than 29 stakes winners. The dam of Mshawish is inbred to Mr. Prospector, but these crosses will be in the fifth and sixth generation of his foals, and we can also note that there are already more than 30 grade one winners who carrying three cross of Mr. Prospector, so reintroducing this strain should not cause concern.
