He hasn't lost anything in value if you ask me, I would love to send a few of my mares to him (providing I had any).

It would be nice to see him win a couple more group 1s, but he already has a lot of appeal as a mile to mile and a half turf sire.

He was already a stallion sure thing when they bought him. Impeccably bred, precocious at 2 which is a big thing these days and built like a monster.

It will certainly be interesting to see where coolmore send him to stand his first few seasons.

Certainly hasn't lived up to all the hype (IMHO).

If it stands, it will do well in Australia just on the plate wins.

So I take it, it didn't run a great race? not seen it yet

Wow just heard A O'B get a serve regarding SYT on Australian radio, they pointed out that it looks like SYT has had the sprint trained out of him and now looks a one pace stayer. Referenced Manighar as a stayer who has now has been trained to have a decent sprint and it shows in his results. Question is, is he right?

Can't comment on whatever AO'B has done with SYT, however Manighar is only winning these races because Australian breeders and owners are only interested in turning out sprinter/milers that can perform at 2yo.

That's exactly the point he was making :p

I think you could make a killing if you had some decent money and bought placed Derby and Oaks horses from England and then prepped them for the Caulfield/Melbourne Cups. Which is what some people over here have been doing but it just hasn't quite paid off for them yet.

This is an angle I am looking at doing with a friend of mine over the next few years.

The prize money over there is so good, and if you can get your hands on a decent middle distance prospect over here, you're very likely to farm the longer distances races out in Oz.

The shorter distance races are a different kettle of fish however.

Update on SYT, will be going to stud for beginning of Australian stud season, so midway through British season.
