At the end of last year, I retired Spirit Guide , a durable multiple G1 winning turf route stallion. He won the German Derby and was second in the London Derby at 3, won another G1, a G2, as well as two G3s at five, and had another G2 win at the age of six. Overall he won 14 of 33 races, placing in 26 of them, being reliable until his last race, a stakes win at the age of seven.
Now why do I make this post?
He was a very nice, consistent runner, his hypos aren't bad, just a notch below the top stallions of the division, and his pedigree is decent, being by SC winner Wolfgang, out of a G1 placed mare that also threw the very nice City Walk. But Turf Routers have so many super nice stallions that I think at least one of these categories has to be outstanding to attract any decent outside mares. And since I only have like 5 TR mares myself I don't really have a use for him and wanted to ask if maybe one of the bigger barns would be interested in him? If so, please send me a pm- thank you!
