Traditionally, yes ! Otherwise there's too great a chance of the foal being early ( I'm sure that's not the only reason but I don't know enough about that side of things to know the practicalities of any other reason for it ) it's always been Valentine's Day as day one

May have been, not sure what correct word for them is, but a 'teaser' mare just to get him back in the mood/try him out before starting properly.
Nobody's pleased that he's dead, but he covered at least 1000 mares, an insane number for an unproven stallion, that must be around 700 foals, far more than eg St Simon, Hyperion, Nearco or Bold Ruler ever managed.
We don't even know whether he's going to be any good as a sire, they might all turn out to be wheezing cripples. Has he had any runners yet?
Two runners, Venusian.
Lester Kris - three starts, one third place.
Maid in Manhattan - one run, unplaced.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

Many moons again in a galaxy far far away, when I worked at a large stud, there was a coloured mare who belonged to the Bloodstock manager who used to visit before the covering season started as she was the 'test' mare for one particular stallion , who was basically a nervous wreck in everything he did, and she was the most placid thing ever. She would come back to foal down and be used as a foster mare if needed. The BM's sons used to ride the offspring.

Beg to Differ broke down horribly.
Killultagh Vic reportedly fractured his pelvis and has left the yard for good.
Beg to Differ fatally injured sadly. RIP
Superb Story misses Cheltenham and Ch'tibello only 50-50

Hope Triolo is OK. Didn't look great.
Pelvis injury I saw on Facebook, but ok. Hopefully nothing sinister will come to light as time goes on and he can enjoy his retirement - lovely horse

Pretty harrowing (as these things go) fall for Fayette County at Catterick today. Sad.
Baoulet Delaroque passed away last spring from Nicholls Betfair Q&A last night.
Sole Power retired. Apparently he was good on straight courses without obstacles.
Sounds weird.
