THE FRESH SEX COUNT THAT PUT AN END TO GG's JOB

The Australian racing industry has been stunned by the forced retirement from stud duties of one of the nation's best performed stallions, Lord Scrymgeour.
The seven-year-old black stallion was withdrawn from service after veterinarians tested the stallion's semen and found a sperm count far too low to impregnate top mares bought to the Darling Downs stud farm where he had stood for the past two years.
This year alone, Lord Scrymgeour progeny have collected more than $4 million in prizemoney at the big city tracks around the nation.
Lord Scrymgeour, out of the well performed Lady Di by the imported sire Prince Phillip, had a mixed racing career himself before proving his worth in the mating enclosure.
His highlight was a first placing in the 2000 Golden Slipper, although he lost on protest after it was disclosed that he had actually started in the previous race.

Lord Scrymgeour .... found to be firing blanks.
