I have a mare River Blades, that just recently injured herself. We need to find her a stallion to breed to race and get it done asap.
Can someone give me some bloodlines to look at?

Hi Doublete,
IMO your mare is worth breeding from.
CHEROKEE RUN is not a dynamic broodmare sire, but his daughter's best get is RATTLESNAKE BRIDGE. He is a son of TAPIT. While there are no sons of TAPIT or his sire, PULPIT, in Maryland, there is a new horse by A. P. INDY which I think is great value: FRIESAN FIRE. He was a top-class 3yo, started favorite in the Kentucky Derby, and is out of a first-rate Australian mare.
He stands for $4,000 at Merryland Farm, and Im sure they would cut you a good deal.
It's a good mating on paper but like with all matings, the participants must also be a good physical match, too.
Good luck.

Take a look at Bittel Road. he's a good looking 17 hh Stormy Atlantic son with no Mr P and is a complete out-cross with your mare.
I like him a lot and have 3 mares booked to him.
"Special Consideration" to approved mares
Could be WVSIRED and PABRE which carries a lot of perks.
google NayLee Farm, and, of course you can find his pedigree on this site.

PS: Has a pretty good race record also.

Bittel Road
race record 11/4/1/0 with app 330k in winnings
a lot of turf but did win Monarch Maze stakes, one mile on dirt, positions in 6 horse field were 4/3/1/2/1/1
won 6 furlong MSW with track postions 3/1/1/1/1/1
did not know about any soundness issues. Does have a modified Storm cat disposition but I like a horse with an attitude.
NayLee also has a Giants Causeway stallion named Global Force that did have soundness issues.
Vinemiester who started 66 times and retired sound. He's also a very good looking stallion and throws very good looking foals.
Garnered by Holy Bull who beat Speightstown after his jockey lost his whip in the turn to home. He has a really nice long hip.
Gunnerside is a son of Seattle slew o/o a Relaunch mare. No crosses to Native Dancer
Prospect Bay who was the fastest horse in NA in 1996. age 20 but one of the most fertile stallions at the farm
Stored o/o Safely Kept
Civilisation who I believe is one of the two Toussaud stallions left in the country.
others

When you say Country Only is the only stallions which matches up with her, are you referring to the Bogus nick ratings? They will misguide you 9/10 times.
Bittel Road won only one race on dirt, the others (and his placings) were on turf.
Here's the chart to his Grade 3 stakes win:

FRIESEN FIRE is likely the most talented racehorse standing in Maryland. None of the others mentioned here get close to his quality, on the track on by pedigree.

I looked your horse up and she appears to be a sprinter, and you may want to look at Prospect Bay who was the fastest horse in NA in 1996.
He was in KY but did not make the cut; however, he has done well as a regional stallion.. Last time I looked his starter/winner % was better than the top stallions in KY. Granted his get are not running @ CD but if I had a Giants Causeway that could not make the cut at CD I think I'd send it to some of the regional tracks were PB get do well, rather than let it be one of the +/- 40% that never win a race.
He's around 20 years old but is very fertile. And I believe, for some reason, his owner is going to retire him after this season.
I have a 2012 colt by PB o/o my Cryptoclearance mare and Legitimada who started 64 times and retired sound is in-foal to him for 2013. Also taking a half sister to a stakes horse to PB later this month.
