Moon Faced~TR-PENSIONING ON MARCH 12!
So I've had a bit of a change of heart inspired by a certain Steward to retire this tough guy (not that Em ever said to retire him).

Re: Moon Faced-TR
Update, first foal is a Steward bred bred on an A- cross
ETA: Hypos I've done/received reports of so far:
A
Beguinage
A-
Banish Fear
Esmeralda
Forever With Me
Impulsuve
One True Love
Royalty Power
Seen From the Sky
Snowblink
B+
Arianne Martell
Bless You Parker
Burning Diamonds
Claret
Electric Harbor
Elsarya
Feral
Gift From the Moon
Kitasan’s Choice
Laseen
Lying From You
Sidney Harbor
They Shine for You
B
Breeze On a River
It’s Blissful
He's on par with Satono Moon in terms of hypos, obviously I don't know other studs well enough to say but from my own mares I can see that he's on par with the majority of turf route studs out there

Re: Moon Faced-TR
Looks like he’s getting some nice hypos! The Steward (probably accidentally) mentioned last night during the SC broadcast that the foal she bred,With the Light turned out a ‘Stakes’ so that’s a good sign!

Re: Moon Faced-TR
With 4 yearlings still to gallop and 1 of them being the confirmed 'stakes' SB, it's looking like Moon Faced is off to an excellent start!
46 Foals
42 Galloped:
3 Stakes-7.1%
14 Allowance-33.3%
9 Productive-21.4%
6 Solid-14.3%
10 Claimer-23.8%
So his allowance+ % is at 40.4% and this isn't counting that SB!

Re: Moon Faced~TR
I have read the Edge and I am taking into consideration The Steward's comments about Moon Faced's pricing
Nothing will change for this year but for next year I am likely to raise the stud fee, it will probably be in the region of $30,000.
In the meantime, happy breeding!

Re: Moon Faced~TR
With some yearlings still to gallop, including a steward bred, Moon Faced has so far added 5 Stakes to his previous 4 taking his total up to 9. His % are significantly down due to the very large book of mares he got at a low price so don’t be discouraged by that, it looks like he is doing very nicely as a sire and I hope that continues once his first crop hits the track.

Re: Moon Faced~TR
And another Stakes in his yearling crop bringing it up to 6, 10 across all crops! He also has 64 allowance foals which is his highest % gallop (33.7%)!

Re: Moon Faced~TR
Steward bred yearling brings the stakes tally up to 11, 7 for this crop! Remember his % are a little skewed due to the high number of mares he got at what was according to the steward 'dirt cheap $15,000 that should probably be $50,000'

Does Banish Fear have a son named Cosmic Bomb and a grandson named Prince John?

Re: Moon Faced~TR
So Moon Faced got another winner last night, nothing to post about I guess. Except, this filly (With the Light) was pretty darn impressive earning a 100 SF on debut!!
Congrats Luis Polar, she looks very exciting!

Moon Faced ends his first season on track as a sire with 5 winners and the aforementioned Grade 1 stakes winner. I suspect his get will be even better at 3 and beyond!
