Take charge Indy

WinStar has already sold take charge Indy overseas once before and then regretted the sale and brought him back after the success of his offspring. Do you think he's in danger of being shipped off by WinStar a second time?

Don't see why they couldn't send him to a farm in like Ohio or Arkansas, he'd do fine as a second-tier regional sire.

Sure the syndicate that owns him now could chose to sell him. The RMB for 2022 will give an indication of how breeders feel towards him, last year he only covered 80 mares. As long as he can maintain a decent sized book, I think he is fine for now. His current yearlings are his return crop. They sold for an average of 56k on a 17.5k stud fee. Which is higher than when his first crop was yearlings in 2016, they sold for an average of 38k on a 20k stud fee. As long as breeders feel they can make money off the foals they will breed to him.

this might (will?) change, but BH+ has him listed as having bred 100 mares.

100 is a decent book for him. But far less than winstars super sized books for some sires
