Green Hills, I've got one coming sired by Lazy Lode(ARG). He's a multiple G1 winner with 108 Beyers on dirt and 111 on turf. He won the Hollywood Gold Cup (twice I believe). He's throwing some very athletic looking, intelligent babies with very solid, correct legs. I think his first crop of 2YOs will hit the track this year. He's a Mr. P line stallion through Lode, an excellent SA sire and over Babas Fables over Good Manners, with some proven French and Argentina distaff lines. But he's in Anthony, New Mexico (near El Paso, TX). Might be a bit far for your girl.
I agree that Glaire looks very interesting with Lazy Lode. The linebreeding, other than the high percent of Raise A Native is very intriguing. FOUR crosses to Djebel......SEVEN crosses to Tourbillon through three sons (Djebel being one, of course) and a daughter. Might be a good counter to any unsoundness the high Raise A Native genetics might bring to the table. My main reservation with the hypomating is that Glaire and Lazy Lode are from the same paternal bloodlines, and I (personally) tend to avoid that pattern in a breeding because I feel it is seldom successful.
