Breeding Career
After retiring, he first stood stud at Dalham Hall Stud in the UK with a fee of £120,000. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with Marie's disease in November 1987. As breeders at the time thought this disease was hereditary, and his 1988 crop was performing sub-par, Dalham Hall decided to find a buyer for him, leading to him being imported to Japan in 1991 by the JBBA and standing at Shizunai Stallion Station. He was hard to handle with fluctuating physical condition, therefore having a very low number of offspring per year (115 at peak in Japan)[1], he nonetheless had well performing offspring in both continents, leading to European breeders saying that he was exported too early.
