Unsolicited Mating Advice for Lady Aurelia

Ghostzapper would flip Justify's pedigree.

Tapit would give full sisters Yarn and Preach as in Justify's pedigree.

If I were planning to send her to sale as a mare in foal, Medaglia D'oro in the US or Fastnet Rock in Europe.

This is the kind of horse Fastnet Rock can get out of an American-bred mare with somewhat obscure bloodlines: https://www.pedigreequery.com/foxwedge

If I were going to keep her in the US and keep any foals to race, I would go to:

More Than Ready
Kitten's Joy
Ghostzapper

In that order.

What about Exceed and Excel. Has that quick turn of foot. Too much ND?

Run the race - the one that's really worth winning.

He's a good stallion but it's hard to go past Fastnet Rock. Not only did he sire a horse like Foxwedge (who is now a very useful sire in his own right), he has the Crimson Saint line and a cross to Sir Tristram, which will hook in nicely with her multiple crosses to Drone, Spy Song, and Knight's Daughter via Round Table (Sir T) and Monarchy (Johannesburg).

So I wonder where Lady Aurelia ended up for this breeding season? I would imagine Stonestreet probably bought her back with one of their stallions in mind. According to their website they have ownership positions in Good Magic, Curlin, Carpe Diem, Atreides, Awesome Again, Kantharos, Dominus, Ghostzapper, Maclean's Music, Jess's Dream and Union Jackson. I would think the only ones they would consider out of that group would be Curlin and Ghostzapper.

She will go to Curlin.
