Signs And Omens

Signs And Omens! Received my 4March2017 Bloodhorse on 4 March, 40th anniversary commemoration of Slew's 1977 Triple Crown win. On that same day (3-4), received my 4March2006 Bloodhorse commemoration issue of Buckpasser's legacy as a great broodmare sire!
Will wonders ever cease I'm taking this as an omen, that I should haul my 3x3 Buckpasser mare (Found Her), up the hill 50 miles to a son of SS (Slewcious)
.
I suspect that signs and omens have had more to do with mating plans than one would imagine.(or admit)
Would love to ship her to Einstein as he's nearby this year too, the 75% equivalency between Buckfinder and Squander in the pedigree, but almost seems to close to me, and his is a sire line in descent is no incentive either. Other SS line sires in CA to consider also. Would try Prince Charmant again, but he's at the far side of the state, not willing to ship or haul a 17 year old mare that far.
