Positive comments from trainers, agents and breeders include:
"She has a lot of speed and a lot of ability, but her biggest asset is her lovely temperament." Andrew Balding, trainer of Gr.3 Coral Charge Sprint Stakes winner Night Carnation
"She is racey, strong and correct, and I love the sire." Kevin Ryan, re the purchase of the Sleeping Indian filly ex Vale of Belvoir, the top lot at the DBS St Leger Festival Yearling Sale in 2011
"The best temperament you could find in your life. A gritty and determined sort from a really nice line." Cliff Lines, trainer of Stakes prospect and 3-time winner Proud Chieftain
"She's a filly we like an awful lot with a great temperament. She ran very well as a two-year-old, and will mature and improve at three." Kevin Ryan, trainer of Stakes filly Shoshoni Wind
"He's a grand, sound colt with a beautiful temperament that does everything right. We will be aiming him at more Stakes races in 2011." Peter Makin, trainer of Black-Type 2yo and multiple winner Morache Music
"We are delighted with our Sleeping Indian filly. She is probably the best looking filly we have to breeze and certainly looks like a Stakes performer." Emma O'Gorman, reference to the €44,000 2010 yearling ex Pikaboo
"He was the most outstanding individual and certainly the stand out yearling of the sale. He is a fantastic example for the stallion." Hamish Alexander, bloodstock agent, re 2009 yearling ex Hidden Meaning sold for 90,000 Gns at Tattersalls Book 2 2009
"I do think Sleeping Indian's yearlings look nice. I've seen a good few and they have good minds and look athletic." Stephen Hillen, bloodstock agent
 "I've been impressed by Sleeping Indian's progeny. He was a very good racehorse who was unlucky not to win at the Breeders' Cup." Peter Doyle, bloodstock agent
"I bought two foals by Sleeping Indian and both are exceptional, probably the nicest stock by a first season stallion. They should make very impressive yearlings." Paddy Twomey, Hawthorn Villa Stud.
"His foals remind me very much of the Indian Ridge stock: medium sized, correct, great movement." Paul Thorman, Trickledown Stud, 2008
