Generally, sons of Bettors Delight have not been good stallions.  Tall Dark Stranger might be the best and his stud fee went from $20k to $5k pretty quickly. This is odd as Bettors Delight is probably the best stallion of all time, you think there would be a few that would carry on his legacy, but it doesn't seem to be.  I think there are much better options in that price range, depending on where he wants to race.

One thing for sure, the horse will likely not have any negative reaction to the "yogurt".  ngc3

Are there any studs out there to a certainty that raced 100% clean?

I would feel better breeding to something with a little more size, he is a pretty small horse.

I agree…I’ve always found when it comes to breeding studs size matters.
