It must be the week for press releases that make me sit back and think "surely someone thought to read this before it was released?????"

This example was posted in the Press Releases section of www.stallions.com.au on the 23 September.

"ORDYNSKI TO STAND AT IVORY LODGE

Introducing Ordynski, a most exciting stallion prospect to stand in the 2004 season. Late in arriving to the stallion barn, he will not disappoint. With bloodlines and conformation to match, the son of Stravansky he will offer breeders the opportunity to access one of the best families in the studbook. The handsome chestnut son of Imposera, herself the dual group 1 winning daughter of Imposing will stand in Queensland at Ivory Lodge, Clifton, for walk ups only. There are numerous broodmare farms around Ivory Lodge to cater for broodmares to adjist, for the opportunity to patronage this exciting young stallion."

I'm somewhat surprised that Stallions ran with it. Their editorial standards are usually a lot more rigorous.
