Great blog about Americain and Bullet Train. I am really happy both will stand at std in the US, It is nice having some longer distance bloodlines being used as stud here. 

I agree - we need more distance horses - I'm so excited for Americain!

I'll tell you I'd love to get a look at Americain sometime.  It's great news.

Yes I hope they allow visitors there especially since Lentenor is there now too. Very interesting that they are standing 2 Dynaformer son's one who is a long distance horse and one who is better in races up to 1 1/8 mile

Look forward to hearing more about this new owner of Calumet and his breeding goals.

Well they get to pick a Dynaformer for either type, depending on their mare....I remember when I had my Irish Setter bred, I had my choice of a confirmation or a field setter, by the same dam, I think, best of both worlds and which you wanted to produce. I'm excited about Lenny and Amercain, can't wait to see those first foals! 

Yes foals for both in 2014!! Actually we will see Australian bred foals for Americain fall of 2013

It is the best of both worlds!!!  I'm so excited!!!

I love the big smile on the handler who has Toby's Corner in that first picture.  Wishing him the best.
