Karel - Horse Chestnut evaluation

I was just reading through it and noticed a small error. It's the same error that came up in g1goldmine.
Lucifer's Stone is not HC's best son, as she is actually a filly (now a foal producing mare).

Thanks.
Robin Bruss told me before going to press, but I failed to correct it.
The name probably made me think it was male.

I was speaking to Robin Bruss and Gareth Pepper today and a cover for HC is 35 k a shot, I feel not a bad price, but one thing I did not know after reading the Sea The Stars going to stud and the financial choice of keeping it in training, is that a stallion can potentially do the biz up to 5 times a day, lose the odd foal, but hell we are talking mega bucks for a good horney stallion!

Think.
For example, Sadler's Wells covered at a 100k (pounds) a pop.
Multiply that by 100 mares or so each season.
And consider there were huge tax benefits in Ireland at one time.
Who would keep a horse in training with such carrots?
It shows that anyone who'd think Sea The Stars should continue racing is mad.
Think of the risk of injury when racing at the highest level.
Who'd insure him if he went to the Breeder's Cup?
