Vice Regent is definetly old enough to have been inbred to, whether or not it happened in any number is something I'm just not sure of. But clearly, not much to go on there. Something interesting to point out: while inbreeding to Vice Regent has not produced any graded stakes winners, crossing Vice ...

I'm going with Keyed Entry. The Derby distance is going to be a question with his running style, but he looks to have plenty of talent. Has the pedigree to get 10f IMO, being out of a Cryptoclearance mare. 2nd dam is by Avatar, who won the Belmont. Looking forward to the Rebel, but that race sure is...

I may be off base here, but I don't think this inbreeding has been tried a whole lot, so it may be too early to label it as unsuccessful. Deputy Minister is still only a generation back on the sireline of most of his descendents. His sons are just beginning to get their own sons to the breeding shed...

Roman Ruler is my pick. He was precocious and could stretch his speed out to 9 furlongs. Very good looking individual too. That said, I think he would have been better off at $20k or $25k, but overpricing is almost a universal knock on new stallions these days. I was very impressed by Oratory when I...

Actually, there have been quite a few stallions that threw multiple Derby winners. Halo, Alydar, Exclusive Native, Bold Bidder, and Bull Lea have all had two Derby winners (or three in Bull Lea's case), and that's just going back to Citation in '48. There are a few more that did it earlier than that...

We had a Changeintheweather filly in mid-January out of our Known Fact mare, Hey Hey Sunny... his first foal. She's a very nice filly, good size and correct. I like Changeintheweather quite a bit as an individual, and being by Gone West certainly won't hurt him. Ours is the only foal of his that I'v...

Jorge, I'm not too sure where Wuddenme is right now, but he's out of a half-sister to one of my mares, so I'll be keeping tabs on him. He's in my stable mail, so I'll let you know if anything pops up on him. Probably won't here anything on him for at least a few months. Oh, and I'm a big fan of his ...

Hi Daisy, I've got a filly by Skimming out of my Smile mare, and i liked her so much that i sent another of my mares back to Skimming. The filly has decent size and was very correct when last i saw her. I haven't seen her in a few months as she is in California and I am in Kentucky, but the reports ...

For Polish Socialite you might want to take a look at Mutakddim. The pedigree on the resulting foal would be absolutlely loaded with La Troienne through her various descendents, always a good thing. Also results in a balanced 4x4 to Northern Dancer. He is also out of a Seattle Slew mare, which you s...

I bought a Rubiano mare in November last year in foal to Silver Ghost, which we're planning on sending through November this year. Really nice foal, great muscle definition and size. I do chalk some of that up to Silver Ghost, as he has a rep. for throwing a good foal. Personally think he's another ...

If you're willing to send your mare up to New York, then Thunderello would make for an interesting cross. Gives a balanced 3x4 to In Reality and a balanced 4x5 to Buckpasser. These two horses serve to load up the pedigree with Man O War, which is never a bad thing. The one thing that would concern m...
