Pedigree Query

Wow! What an interesting thread I have missed. To stay directly on the original target and ignore tangents... I am not as excited about RHT as many seem to be - too big to sire commercial weanlings or yearlings, too late developing to sire 2 year olds, possibly too big to sire sound racehorses. Fur...

FOS 100 to 150k stallions improve all mares I suggest you recheck that. MOST stallions in that price range either barely meet or are in fact just a hair below the mares presented to them. Empire Maker was a superior talent Empire Maker was controled by the king of spin and Juddmonte's lead pimp. "S...

Any thoughts on this guy? I adore Pulpit and I just thought SM was so talented.....unfortunately, fragile, like his sire. His first weanlings appear to be very well thought of, which I'm very happy about. Thoughts on whether Sky Mesa will turn out to be a good sire and, if so, what kind? (sprint, m...

hi freddymo You wrote "I agree we could find some nice mares to fit ROCK but we could do that for any stallion.. The idea that you have to try at 50 to 150k is the point." Exactly what does that mean? You also wrote re: a stud fee for Rock Hard Ten "I think 25k advertised would be about right." If ...

I agree we could find some nice mares to fit ROCK but we could do that for any stallion.. The idea that you have to try at 50 to 150k is the point. I am not in favor of inbreeding to Mr P. that closely and think that all samplings should be looked at for what thay are small samplings. The Rock IMO i...

I would be really surprised to see him go to Claiborne, as he would compete more or less directly with their homebred Arch. That said, Claiborne hasn't landed a truly hot stallion prospect for years, and of their old-school powerhouses, only Seeking the Gold is still servicing mares. Kimberley have...

Baffert was out bid on FRS by the Japanese owner of FP. After the hammer fell on FRS, the owner of FP asked Baf if he wanted to train FRS. Thats how Baf ended up with FRS. Lucky Bob bid on a fraud and now gets to train him. Seriously folks this horse is a such a fraud. Geez let me guess Bobby has h...

I asked Baffert today what he saw in FRS to bid on him. Baf said FRS was a beautiful TB, a good looker and had a beautiful way of going or a smooth mover. We cant argue with that statement, as Baf has purchased a prolific amount of TB since he has switched from the QH to TB. To bad he is slow been ...

Because a sire has a grade 1 winner does it mean that you can distinguish that stallion as a grade/group 1 material sire. People understand I realize Crappy Ticket won the Ballerina. Is Our Embelm a true grade 1 producer because War Embelm stole a couple of races.HMM As for Alex, with out being disr...

Lets talk about your Post for a moment. Candy Stripes has produced 2 special animals not just ordinary grade 1 winners. There are Grade 1 races in name only. Afleet Alex is a very nice animal and I would sure love to own him, but that is not the point the point is he is a fair to midland grade 1 win...

It would be a mortal lock if SC would to pass on as GC would become the clearly most logical SC sucessor. Another crop like the last couple and this guy is going up again and not 25 or 50K. To answer your question if SC is closed down GC is 500 booked full and closed. NO QUESTION ASKED WITH A LINE A...

Coquinerie you make a great point as GC'S book was as good but no better then many of the top tier stallions.. Go look at Empire Makers book or Sadlers Well. Mineshaft saw a great grouping as well. GC can not be bred to SC broodies or his son's obviously so those gal's have to go elsewhere.

FOS those a nice list of stakes winners.. Candy Stripes is his countries number one stallion. Go try and get a season to DH at 60K because they most likely are selling for 75ish as his book is full. ANET PLEASE.. Northern Afleet is 25k was 15k and most likely full and if you need a season you most l...

3 interesting names on that list Mingun and Eddington and Southern Image.. You can keep the rest.. Not a huge Indy guy but maybe if you cross to Seeking or his son's broodies? Eddington is a great looking animal that should carry on the Unbridled name very well. You know Phipps is going to send some...

Shug has a great looking 2 year old from FW its a win early sire that throws animals with a ton of early foot. Maybe he can DE Plod all the INDY broodies who knows?
