I'm probably predjudiced inasmuch as I, assisted War Horse in purchasing Kitalpha. Through the Year's have bought/sold for Stallion duty such Sire's as Bernstein, Doneraile Court, Leestown, Valid Expectations, Turkoman,Put it Back, Hoist The Silver and recently Key Deputy. Key Deputy has been this year's Leading Freshman Sire in Argentina ,and is out of Key Phase (Tribal Rule, Yankee Gentleman and Half Ours "Family") Honestly believe that Kitalpha, has both Genetic, Class and Looks to become a Top Sire in USA. Having inspected many of his U.S. offspring, they excude Presense and Class! Kitalpha's Stud Fee is reasonable and it is an opportunity for Small Breeder's access to World's 'best Bloodlines! Although Gerry Aschinger is far too modest, but I think Maria Nearcos' has Bred and Purchased an Interest!

Hi Bill,

I'm not sure people are down on him, but maybe some people are taking a "let's see" approach. It's certainly better to start here as a champion sire from anywhere than as an unknown. His Zimbabwe/South Africa results were impressive, and yes, he should have access to "better" mares here, but keep in mind his progeny will be competing against a larger talent pool. He's gone from big fish in a relatively small pond, to a midpriced Kentucky stallion. But comparing him to other sires with first crop yearlings, maybe he's the kid who aced a few college classes in high school, so you know ability is there.

Some people are down on this stallion because of where he stood. Wouldn't it stand to reason he would get much better mares in the USA?

Kitalpha is an attractive, balanced stallion from a physical standpoint. Given his family and stallion brothers, there's little surprise he infused a great deal of class into southern African breeding stock.
