00:00Placing in all but three of his lifetime career starts, the ultra-consistent, multiple grade
00:07one winning Dr. Shivel has been well received with breeders as he settles in at Taylor Maid
00:11Farm.
00:12Here Travis White tells us more about the son of violence.
00:15Dr. Shivel was a horse that we've been following for a couple years now just based on his race
00:21record.
00:22So he was a grade one winner at two, he broke his maiden very impressively at Del Mar as
00:25a two year old.
00:26Came back, won the Del Mar Fratuity after that and then went on to win a grade one as
00:31a three year old beating a lot of horses and then his Breeders Cup sprint as a three year
00:35old was just a remarkable race where he just barely lost but you know he's just a horse
00:39that you know he is speed, precocious, he's a very good looking horse and I think he fits
00:44our commercial base very well.
00:46You can look at Dr. Shivel and see why he was a race horse.
00:49I mean he's got a great angle, he's got a very good neck, good shoulder, good length
00:53of body.
00:54He's just got a great walk, great mind to him but just a very, very nice physical as
00:59well.
01:00And to me another very important part of him was he was a very sound horse.
01:04He made 15 starts, he's a grade one performer at two, three, four and five and what I really
01:11like you know was from the time he broke his maiden in August of his two year old year
01:16he won five of his next six starts with his only loss being by a nose in the Breeders
01:20Cup sprint as a three year old.
01:22To remain consistent and sound and just be competitive and kind of just have that will
01:27and drive to win you know for three to four years I think speaks a lot for the horse and
01:32if he can throw that I think that's something that will pay dividends long run.
01:36Dr. Shivel, he's a son of Violence and Violence has had a fantastic year and he's going to
01:40be the sire or he was the sire you know in Forte who was the three year old champion
01:44last year.
01:45He's also got a horse Volatile out there now, the young stallion and his dealings were very
01:50well received in the commercial marketplace.
01:52So I do think the Violence line it's known for throwing you know good looking, good size
01:57commercial horses and I think Dr. Shivel could be the next in line.
02:01So Dr. Shivel, he's been very well received so far, we've put together a very good group
02:05of shareholders that you know to support the horse and people have been out to the farm
02:09and seen him.
02:10I really like what they saw so far, Dr. Shivel will stand for 12.5 this year, it's just tremendous
02:16value you know for a horse, it's a son of Violence, he's a good looking horse, multiple
02:21grade one winner, you know for coaches, kind of everything that commercial breeders and
02:25buyers are looking for.
02:26I think he fits that bill and just offers again just great value at 12.5.
