Cremorne was born in the same year as George the lobster
How does a horse only become “moderately successful” as a stud? Like he would get a little shy when the lady horses were around?
Just guessing – maybe it’s based on the resulting offspring being successful racers?
Ah that makes a lot of sense.
Cremorne was a difficult horse to train, owing to his extreme laziness: he was known to fall asleep during breaks in exercise. He also had an apparently insatiable appetite and would eat anything edible within his range. On one occasion he contracted a near-fatal bout of colic after eating all of his bedding straw.[3]
Maybe he was just more interested in naps and snacks than lady horses. 🤷♂️
This also make a lot of sense. Naps and snacks are pretty amazing.
