Pedigree Query

I'm starting to think that the Man 'O War male line will be continued in....South Korea.

Tizway to South Korea. Sigh.

I was surprised that they chose Curlin for her. Curlin isn't known for getting turf runners, and I think his offspring prefer distances longer than the mile that Tepin excelled at. My thought would be, why not just send her to a world class turf miler, and reinforce her strongest aptitudes, and that...

Altanbarr- yes, and I think he must be a brave horse to be able to run with one
eye missing. With no depth perception, etc., he impressed me that he did so well.

I was glad to see Patch get third in the Belmont. He was no threat to the first two,
but it was nice to see the one-eyed wonder finish on the board.

I would be thrilled if Patch won- loved Union Rags when he was racing, and
it would be a great story if the one-eyed wonder was victorious.

I like Epicharis. It would be very fitting to see a male-line grandson of Sunday Silence get revenge for S.S.'s loss in the Belmont. I also think he has a great pedigree for the distance.

Hope he is a great success, both on the track and at stud. Love the Tiznows!

His filly Union Strike, who won a G1 at 2, won her 3yo debut this weekend, in the Santa Paula.
I expect his offspring will only get better with age. Great fun to watch, since I followed Union Rags during his racing career.

She was a magnificent mare. Very sad for her loss.

I'm not actually a breeder, but I do like to play the "who would you breed her to" game. I think if I was a breeder, I would not shy away from "unproven" stallions. For example, I think breeding a suitable mare to Arrogate, once he is retired from racing, would be a good gamble, ...

Thanks for posting, TJ. Chrome is clearly a happy and confident horse- keeping his head up and just taking in his new surroundings. Wish him the best with his new career!

Thanks, Joltman. I love the grays too!

Thanks, Madelyn. I'm looking forward to see who they breed her to- will follow her babies as I followed her.

I agree that C.C.'s pedigree doesn't inspire much confidence, especially at 40K, but I do l like the fact that he performed at a high level for so long. His durability is something I hope he passes on. I am sorry the thread took a negative turn, I tend to chalk it up to pre-holiday stress. I hope ev...
