Re: Breeding advice needed

My 2 cents worth, which is about all its worth, would be Blame. He's a little over budget, but who knows. My second choice would be Data Link. My reasoning is certainly not mainstream, but your mare's female family doesn't have any strong trends in affinity. They are mostly successful with total out...

What's off with his philosophy?

As to the announcement, it may not be accurate, but the information came from Darby Dan.

Any thoughts on this mating?

I'm thinking about breeding Infinity (Saint Ballado) to Nobiz Like Shobiz next spring. Any opinions? [url]http://www.pedigreequery.com/index.php?search_bar=hypomating&query_type=hypomating&h=&hypo_sire=nobiz+like+shobiz&hypo_dam=iNFINITY18&g=5&all=No&cellspacing=0&cel...

If I were breeding to race, I couldn't pass up sending her to Louisiana to K One King. You have a unique opportunity to try a Rasmussen Factor to Moccasin. She had 7 stakes winners from 8 foals!

Louisiana cuts awards by 10%

Beginning next April, Louisiana will reduce breeder's awards from 22% to 20%, stallion awards will decrease from $1,000,000 to $900,000, and fourth place finishers in stakes races will not be paid.

It's disappointing, but it is still a good program.

Is Stephen Got Even moving up?

With I Want Revenge last year and First Dude and Schoolyard Dreams this year, is Stephen Got Even's stock going up? Does anyone see his stud fee or his yearling prices going up?

For what its worth, I would look at Borrego. I saw him this fall and was very impressed. Sadlers Wells seems to work well with Nuryev and Riverman and your mare has both. Linebreeding to Special and Lalun looks interesting.

Good luck with your Devil His Due filly. You make me wish I had gone to him. He his such a good looking stallion, but we're in foal to Parading and very optimistic.

She ended up with Parading.

I figured a good looking, GSW with Pulpit/AP Indy, Storm Cat, and Personal Ensign certainly has a chance.

His dam line going back to the 4th dam has produced 19 runners 19 winners 8 sw 7 gsw 3 gsp 14 bt. That impressed me.

Thanks for the input. I've pretty well ruled out Doneraile Court. However, I've thrown Parading into the mix. I wish I could make up my mind.

Mingun, Devil His Due, or Doneraile Court ?

Three of my girls have boyfriends, help me decide on the last one. I'm torn between these three stallions for "Rahy Time." Each offers something I really like and something I don't. Mingun - Special through Miesque, upside potential of Lanes End Devil His Due - full siblings Devil's Bag and Glorious...

Sorry I just posted the hypo. The mare's name is Rahy Time. The sire is Saint Afleet. I do like the matchup on paper, however an unproven sire concerns me. That is why I am considering the other three more.
