    New to Dalham Hall Stud for 2008 is this beautiful, multiple Group winning son of Dubai Millennium.

    From a very nice female line, he deserves support at a very reasonable £5000 SLF.

    Here’s his link

    Best of luck to him. I look forward to seeing his progeny on the racecourse.

    He had his own ideas about the game but as you say, he has a great pedigree. Not to sure how much of a success he will be though I suppose his fee will help him out.

    Quirkiness not necessarily a bad thing.
    Montjeu springs to mind and apparently Nasrullah was a raving nutcase! :lol:
    Not for one second suggesting that EOL will climb to those heights but I’d be prepared to take a chance on him even with a choicely bred mare.

    He is equine sex on legs, the nearest thing looks wise too his sire too have been any good on the track.

    I was at York when he won the strensall stakes doing cartwheels, given his breeding i think he is steal.

    My suspicion is that he will not be getting early one but youngsters who come out from July August time, keep an eye for them in late summer maidens on the alweather…

    He is very well-bred, but he didn’t beat much in his black type races.

    Although Darley’s stallions are fairly reasonably priced these days, this fellow looks an exception, especially as he was such a late developer.

    He’s obviously not proving as popular as Darley would have hoped, the amount of money that they are throwing at advertising him looking at the Racing Post over the last few weeks.

    Does seem a bit strange for a £5K Stallion.

    He’s got a special place in Sheikh Mo’s heart.

    He’ll get every chance to suceed and I hope he makes it.

    I had too ring Darley regarding Zieten who is subfertile and gathered that Echo Of Light is down too cover one hundred mares this year.

    I feel he is a better looking than dubawi and handled fast ground better than his brother ( who tried too take a chunk out me when met him at dalham hall the other year).

    I cnnot see Echo of lights beign out till the middle of the summer of their juvinile campagn at the earliest, i can see them winning allot of races on the polytrack and Darley buying a fair number of the promising ones privately.
