Excellent Art's got-abroad progeny have obviously not acclimatised in India and do not look the part. In spite of this, he has had 6 winners from 8 runners in India including Art Of Enchantment (2nd Bangalore 1000 Guineas, Gr.2).
His yearlings at stud have thrived and combining the fact that he has the unique ability to upgrade his progeny, he is most likely to produce highly rated progeny.
