Almost 12 times the nomination fee for the first foal sold in Europe by Reliable Man! Lot 1412 a bay filly out of  Group 2 winning mare Diacada was sold today att Tattersalls for 48.000 Gns. (71.500 Euros).

If the foals of Reliable Man are very nice individuals, his first crop of yearlings in New Zealand do look to be more than reliable.
Have a look and judge for your self. These yearlings will now start their  preparation for the sales at the Magic Million  in Australia, beginning of January 2016 and as well at the Karaka sale in New Zealand at the end of January 2016.

Reliable Man had an excellent second season in Germany at Gestut Röttgen. An increase of 30 % more mares in 2nd season. He covered a quality book of 71 mares, and had 67 scanned in foal at 16 days.
His 3rd season in New Zeeland looks to be even better than his first two seasons. Already in the beginning of the season in September, he had 160 mares booked.

His popularity just tells us how appreciated he is among the breeders. We have very good news from the breeders around the world. He stamps his crop.

Reliable Man was raised at Haras De Vieux Pont.

So far so good!

He will return as planned to Gestut Röttgen for next season in 2016. Arriving end of December.

The consistent half-brother to Reliable Man is back again in good order for the “Spring” in Sydney.
I´M Imposing, now 10 year old by Danehill Dancer, run 3rd in the Group 3 Craven Plate, 2000 meter at Rosehill.  Although he was badly squizeed in the straight. He is just one of many horses breed and rasied at Haras De Vieux Pont too show how consistent and sound they are. It gives a lot of pleasure for the owners.

Reliable Man´s half brother I´m Imposing is imposing again! Today he run  3rd in the Doomben Cup,  a Group 1 race over 2000 meter in Brisbane, Doomben, Australia. In a field of 15 very good horses, most of Group 1 class, he showed his class. Already a Group 3 winner and being 2nd in a Group 2, he is a very game and honest horse. He is by Danehill Dancer.

The first Reliable Man foals born in Europe seem to be as reliable as the one´s born in New Zeeland in 2014! They are still very young, but they look to be reliable in size, very nice heads, good quarters and good confirmation. Below a video of a 2 week old filly, born on the 18th of February out of Gimme Gimme.

"TRIASSIC, the veteran dam of champion galloper So You Think, has been confirmed in foal to New Zealand-based sire Reliable Man.

The positive test is a wonderful result for Triassic's owner Cecile Smith, Westbury Stud and the Matamata vet practice that played a significant role in the 24-year-old mare's breeding longevity.

"She's come back from Matamata vets absolutely glowing, beautifully dappled and shiny. She looks ten years younger," Smith said.
Triassic got in foal to Reliable Man without a delay. She had a gender test on day 63 that revealed she is carrying a filly.
Triassic was unable to have a foal last season with her most recent birth being a 2012 colt by Medaglia D'Oro.
Reliable Man, a Westbury Stud shuttle stallion, had his first New Zealand progeny born last spring.
"I'll keep this one for myself and it will become the foundation of a continuing breeding line," Smith said."
