Wow, even from that photo of Triassic's Medaglia d'Oro colt you can tell he is going to be a big guy when he grows up. Solid legs on him and if he is anything like So You Think, he will be phenomenal.

Perhaps if Triassic were to foal a daughter that filly could see Makfi down the road. I have followed Makfi for much of his career and know he's going to be a successful sire as well.

...and it should always be remembered that the majority of male foals do not grow up to be eventual breeding stallions, but are gelded... and if they are to have a productive life after racing a good temperament is vital. I have known many high-performing stallions with tractable, easy temperaments. They are easier to live with, work around, and in my experience, to train.

I really like this comment about Savabeel: "Furthermore, he has a good temperament which is often overlooked as a criterion for breeding." Bravo!!! I wish more people would consider this when planning breedings.

We don't need more nasty, dangerous, savage stallions (or mares — especially mares, since their behaviour influences the foal) in this breed. I don't care how fast or brilliant he is, if a stallion is so inherently vicious that he attacks and/or kills someone, or attacks other horses or animals without any reason, he should not be bred.
