Oh man, so many wonder choices here. This will take a bit of time to wade through, but I'll have some favorites for sure.

[Simengineer]

#17 b.c. Montjeu (IRE)/Leaping Water (GB) - This colt is a half to Grammarian whom I loved to follow. And the second dam is the dam of Ballingarry (IRE), Starborough (GB), Aristotle (IRE), and Spanish Falls (GB). What more could anyone want in the dam side? If he vets, he will sell well.

#40 b.c. Monjeu (IRE)/Magnificient Style - The dam here is climbing in age, but she is a "magnificient" mare. 7 for 7 of foals of racing age, 5 of which are stakes winners and graded stakes winners.

#41 b.c. Pivotal (GB)/Magnolia Lane (IRE) - While this dam is a non-winner, she is a full sister to Yeats (IRE). And having Pivotal (GB) as a sire makes this colt a quite desirable prospect, in my eyes anyway.

#62 ch.c. Dalakhani (IRE)/Mia Mambo - I'm intriqued by this one. This dam so far has not shown great ability, but she is still young. However, the sedond dam is a full sister to MIESQUE.

#77 gr.f. Singspiel (IRE)/Miss University - This filly is a full sister to Three Degrees (IRE). I'd bring this one over to race in southern California. Singspiel's seem to do well there.

#135 b.c. Oratorio (IRE)/Pilgrim Spirit - Not much up close, but WOW what an impressive 3rd dam.

#159 ch.f. Strong Hope/Radioactivity - This is a decidedly American pedigree. Will be interesting to see how well she is recieved. She is a half to Champali.

#173 - b.f. Shamardal/River Belle (GB) - This one is of purely sentimental value, though the addition of Shamardal should gain this filly some added interest.

And that is just the first day! There were many more I liked, but I did not want the list to get too big.

I didn't look through them all but 79 jumps out with the Mill Reef. They don't write races for that horse here, but hey we're dealing in dreams right?

Some nice research Simengineer!
Now I have to start saving money .

Research is what I do best! But really I just paged through the catalog and looked for names I know. I like to add comments as to why I like them. It makes me appear more thoughtful.

I'll be saving for a VERY long time to be able to afford any of these! But I can always dream...
