"Graeme Hall I saw at the races on
several occasions, and I was very impressed with his looks. I always
liked [his sire] Dehere, and there aren't a lot of them out there. I
always thought Dehere would be a good sire of sires, though it looks
like he'll not have too many chances. Graeme Hall has not been on the
commercial radar and has a limited crop, but I think he has a very good
chance of producing precocious two-year-olds."
