Total Outcross Broodmare
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 12:54 pm
I have the good fortune to pick up a really interesting broodmare that is a total outcross of bloodlines for Mr. Prospector, Storm Cat, Seattle Slew, Secretariat, A P Indy, etc. The only two duplicates that show in the first 5 generations are Damascus 4x5 (harder to find these days) and Kankankee Miss 4 x5. The mare's name is Top Babe. She did nothing on the racetrack - but a number of her sisters and 1/2 sisters are throwing stakes winners and her dam is 1/2 to Videogenic. So the family has nice enough activity to make her attractive to buy. What makes her even more unique is her pedigree, but it's been an interesting attempt to try to research great nicks for Old Topper's sire - Gilded Time with what there is today for Stallion options and the broodmare sire - Alydeed.
Any thoughts on this for a stallion for her. This will be her first foal and reasonable - say $25,000 and under. But I'd love to accentuate the Damascus line - it's a solid, sound line. Mr. Speaker seemed like an interesting choice for her. Love his female family and it nicks well with hers.
thoughts anyone?
