Hello Bundy, re Bombastic Shiraz you say "...LATELY he has been getting progeny who are fighters". He has been around quite some time now and therefore it is what his progeny have done over the whole of that time. Let me tell you, your observations would be a lot more reliable than my own but I am a bit concerned by the reference to LATELY. It might be that you have noticed this LATELY but I can't see why Bombastic Shiraz's progeny would all of a sudden be more prone to becoming fighters. I don't think you mean this but that's how it reads from my perspective. Sorry if I am being pedantic. And "yes" I do, through personal interest, have a small "soft spot" for Bombastic Shiraz but I do emphasise, "small", I don't care all that much. I can't claim to have any favourite sire but one thing is for sure, I don't like the progency to be TOO MAD. My long-time observation is, that's when you are more likely to get fighters. I like them to be keen but importantly, also sensible .
