I wasn't familiar with Golden Sixty, but he is mentioned in last years (2022) book. A winner of 25 of 29 starts, he was HOY in Hong Kong for 2021. Sadly, a gelding.
My point was recency. Sixty is a foal of 2015. I suppose this was written because it might be over for him as a sire of sires. And while Forte is a fine prospect, I view Violence as hit or miss. And Bolt d'Oro is so new - I thought promising - the easy part is over. A stallion is made in subsequent years. First year can be the pinnacle for many studs.
El Prado exceeded expectations, but Artie Schiller, Paddy O'Prado, Kitten's Joy, and Medaglia d'Oro have not continued the male line strongly. Oscar Performance gives hope.
Maybe Medaglia can pull a Giant's Causeway - sire a son very late in the game who shines and sires runners - like Not This Time.
