Relaunch line

Postby vineyridge » Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:15 pm

I have a distinct impression that I had read that Relaunch is not a great source for soundness.

Is this right or wrong? I know he's almost exclusively a sprinter line, and I also have the impression that sprinters, especially short sprinters, don't hold up as long as milers or classic horses.

Relaunch is hardly a predominantly sprinting line -- see Skywalker, Waquoit, One Dreamer, With Approval, Bertrando, Tiznow & his progeny. You may be thinking more of the Valid Appeals, which tend to be more sprinter-milers.

Soundness for the Relaunch male line does not appear to be subpar compared to other sire lines, but you do have to watch for a tendency to be flat if not back at the knee.

Is it Relaunch in particular you are interested in? Or the In Reality line in general? I dont know where Political Force is ending up, but he has 3 crosses to In Reality if that is something you are looking for.

Seems that Relaunch is a great source for soundness, but quite specifically (and impressively) in Argentina. In the process one has to enjoy all those great maternal European and Argentinian influences.

Well, seems like a new player may be entering the field.

CALCULATOR is a tail-male line descendant of Relaunch, but he doesn't owe his grey color to that stallion but rather to Alphabet Soup.
