G1 "project" mare
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2016 10:25 am
The mare in question is by Lasting Approval and is a Grade 1 turf winner.
Her dam produced 4 stakes horses. All four stakes horses produced
by the dam were fillies, all ran on turf, and all had Lord at War somewhere
in the stallion's pedigree.
The subject Lasting Approval mare has been a bust so far as a producer.
She has a gelding by Giant's Causeway who is a winner, but did little.
Her colt by Ghostzapper has one minor Graded stakes placing, but did little
Her colt by Tiznow never raced.
Her filly by Medaglia de Oro placed once on turf.
Her colt by Awesome Again never raced.
She has a yearling filly by Animal Kingdom.
She lost her Point of Entry foal and is bred to Silver Max.
Who would you pick for her subsequent mates? Do you write her off as a poor producer
at this point, or do you try to breed her to someone turfy, maybe even a European
stallion? Do you try to get her to a stallion that carries Lord at War, since that
cross seemed excellent with her dam?
I've followed this mare and family for awhile now, and I'm wondering what the board
thinks.
