He is was in the money in 11 of his 19 starts and won the prestigious Stephen Foster Handicap G1. He was bred to 97 mares in his first season at stud, which is a good number. However, his stud fee was dropped to $10,000 (from $15,000) after his first year at stud and his sale numbers as a covering stallion have been less than inspiring. It seems that the market is not too thrilled about sons of Wild Again as prospective sires. Hopefully the drop in stud fee will send enough mares his way for him to have a decent chance at stud, at $10,000 there seems to be some value if you really like him especially if you want to breed to race, I don't see a lot of upshot if you breed to sell at this point with him.

Recently, on a trip to Jonabell, I saw some of the most striking stallions I've ever seen. I was completely enamored with Offlee Wild. I'd love to hear what you think of his chances.

G3. Broodmares in foal to Eurosilver averaged about $46,000. I think that his first crop will sell well enough, although I do not expect him to be one of the heavy hitters at the sale partly because a large number of yearlings will be offered by him. He only has a 1.82 of CI but with a first book of 179 Mares his first crop will be making some noise when it hits the track.

I have seen him in person at the track and thought he was a big, beautifully built horse. Do you anticipate good demand for his offspring? I’d like to know your opinion of Eurosilver.

He has great conformation and represents a very good outcross for many mares. He has a very solid AEI of 1.86 vs. CI of 1.61. He does upgrade his mares some but not as much as horses like Successful Appeal (AEI 2.46 v. 1.38) in this price range. His percentage of stakes winners is a good 5%. A solid buy at this level but for the price range we believe that Successful Appeal is better value with a better AEI and percentage of stake winners.

I feel he and Successful Appeal are similar in a lot of ares i.e. improving the mares bred to him. Any thoughts on yes It’s True?

He is by AP Indy out of the great race mare Dance Smartly. He has a top class female family that includes stallions Smart Strike, Sky Classic and Regal Classic among others. He was also a graded stakes winner at 2 and finished in the money in 6 of 7 starts. So even though he is by AP Indy which may indicate later development, Dance with Ravens may still be able to produce early maturing foals. He was bred to a full book of 126 mares in 2006 so there will be a good number of them hitting the tracks soon. In addition, being based in Maryland will be of help to him since his progeny will be able to take advantage of the state bred program and earn extra income. He has a lot of upside if his first foals show talent; and even if they don't the investment of $7,500 is very reasonable. I really like this stallion and I would not be surprised to see him move to KY in the near future like Malibu Moon before him.
