honors competing with 18 other stallions. His marks included
9s for rideability, willingness to work, jumping ability, trot and

been held. This emphasizes that even as the general quality of stallions

the East Coast Stallion Licensing Champion based
on his performance record at the time and commented on this very fact
of enduring quality.
