Smoking Kay by Smoke Glacken out of Timeless Love. Currently in KY but moving here soon (Mid-Atlantic).

Thanks! Diane

So you bought her? Did you see the discussion about her on the Five-Cross Files blog on the Blood Horse website?

Have you seen her in person yet? How's her conformation?

I like the Cequillo female family (which goes further back to Plucky Liege).

Quiet American would be a very interesting cross for her if you're not afraid of inbreeding/linebreeding.

Yes, and yes, that's how I found out about her!

But, I was looking for a stallion in the Mid-Atlantic and lower priced.

Other ideas? Which son of AP Indy would you recc if you were to pick one for her?

Thanks again, Diane

Have you looked at Rock Slide? And there is also Dances with Ravens in the Mid-Atlantic region.

I remember listing her for Starquine, she is a beautiful mare. Have you considered going to NY to Patriot Act? He is by A.P. Indy and a pretty good looking guy in person.

If you didn't mind shipping her to a son of A.P. Indy located in Florida, Congrats would be a tempting option, depending on his stud fee for next year.

He has really been on fire this year as a freshman sire!

you might want to look at Bop.. He set three track records and tied the world record for 5 furlongs.. And has already sired at least one stakes winner [Beware The Bop]

Stands in WV at O'Sullivans

nice mare... love the ff

Maybe ship to NY to the newly relocated Alphabet Soup. the cross has 1 SW out of 3 foals.
