It has been a while since our last sire. This time around I wanted to touch on a sire that is way over looked in the sim. Montbrook has produced 12 graded stakes winners from 14 crops so close to one a year. He gets stakes winners at about a 6% clip which is very solid.
Yet here in the sim he struggles to even get stakes winners. He had four, one time stakes winners in a recent crop and outside that nothing.
This sire produces some brilliant runners like Big Drama, Shake You Down, Out of the Box, Trust N Luck, Chapel Royal, and Snuck In. I scratch my head at his sim production and maybe it can be chalked up to the lack of use in the sime where he is only used about 18-20 times a year.
I have used him once in the past Looming Darkness - Opera House X Shergar. She was what I would think is pretty typical of Montbrook offspring. A pretty solid two and three year old and then faded as she got older. She earned $134k and won a couple of allowances, a useful type
Montbrook's price does fluctuate a bit but at the end of the week is down around 50-60 points. I think he is pretty ideal for the August discount at the end of the week where you can pair him up with some solid mid level dam sires. He could make a solid bargain sire but I would prefer to use him with more expensive dam sires.
His pedigree is awesomely flexible with him being out of the Buckpasser line free and clear of any Mr. Prospector, or Northern Dancer.
He would also seem a solid choice as a dam sire especially with bargain breds.
