We have three mares in Arkansas that will have to be bred to Arkansas Stallions this year and would just like to know if the following are safe bets. The top two mares ran through their conditions and earned over 150K although not reflected in the pedigree query. The mares and selected stallions are as follows:
Cybertech to Storm and a Half
Missyshy to Cornish Snow
Salty Pleasure to Hesabull

I can only comment on one: Hesabull was a very game, competitive runner and seemed to pass that on to his get...the ones he did get, that is!
He only saw maybe 10 mares a year in FL (he was like a family pet), but he seemed to get decent runners from those tiny books. We had one of his for a couple of years and liked the horse very much. I visited him at Live Oak a couple years ago and he was ferociously guarding his fenceline from a neighboring stallion the whole time.
Hesabull is a great outcross given he's free of the ubiquitous N. Dancer/Prospector that's so prevalant, so go for it and good luck.
