Pedigree Query

Yabuquiva, Bluegrass Cat x Santa Vindi by Vindication. 1/2 to Alfa Bird, G-2 runner. Dam is 1/2 to Golden Missile. Chipped knee compromised her racing career and prevents any more racing.

The sire line of Unbridled Song would be great. He has 6 sons standing stud in KY. I don't know your price range to give you more advice. Go to farms website and use the nicking apps provided by the farms.

What region are you wanting for stallions and what is your price range?

She is in Kentucky. Midshipman has been suggested and is in our ~$10,000 price range. Any thoughts on one of Tapit's sons?

Are you wanting to race the foal yourself or sell?

Racing-wise, at $10k it's impossible to look past Successful Appeal.

Unbridled's Song has done a very meh job as a sire of sires, both for selling and for running. Songandaprayer has done the best so far and even he was exiled to the hinterlands. Also not fond of UBS if your mare chipped: AP Indy and Storm Cat both can be heavy up front, and if you get a large heavy UBS body on knees that have trouble you might not get a runner.

Empire Maker is Unbridled and not quite so large as UBS. If your budget stretches to $15k, going to Cairo Prince might be a better deal, or go for a cheapie in Sky Kingdom to hook into the Weekend Surprise family along with Empire Maker.

I like sons of Street Cry: Street Boss, Here Comes Ben (if you want a NY-bred and you're racing), and New Years Day.

If you want to take a chance with a first-season horse who should sell, Wicked Strong is an outcross to Storm Cat and AP Indy, brings in Weekend Surprise, and could run a bit.

Thanks for the advice. Have to choose someone pretty soon.

Settled on Tapiture.
