A marketing slogan started 20+ years ago.

It is still living up to the other slogan, Punters Graveyard.

Some did

Yes, there are staying stallions standing but most commercial stallions these days have too much speed influence to get the 2 miles. Almanzor throws a good staying sort at times. And they have a bit of class. So I might go Trav and Manzor Blue. 

I agree with you on Manzor Blue. In addition to the sire, Almanzor she has Sir Tristram twice on the Dam side as well as Montjue

Pedigree & miles in the legs , usually a pointer to success.

I knew some mentioned it in the built up, can't knock him on that, I've always maintained it's a glorified hack race, no disrespect to connections, good on them, but our cups races have certainly changed over the years.
