Jorge: the dam is a half sister to Saint Liam, not this colt himself. He would be a "sobrino" of Saint Liam.

Georgerz,

Oh my goodness you are absolutely right!

Initially I was trying to focus on the grey juvenile, BOLD DANCE
who is indeed Saint Liam’s half brother and a promising debutante.
Yet, inadvertently I ended up alluding to IRSAAL, who is also another very promising grey colt from that very same family who raced these days.

Although the greys BOLD DANCE and IRSAAL were both foaled in 2010, the former is the “uncle” of the latter because Quiet Dance (dam of BOLD DANCE) is also the dam of Quiet Now (dam of IRSAAL).

Both are top-notch 2010 juveniles and great things are expected from both. Here are their pedigrees:

BOLD DANCE (grey c 2010) http://www.pedigreequery.com/bold+dance3
(Pulpit – Quiet Dance, by Quiet American)

IRSAAL (grey c 2010) http://www.pedigreequery.com/irsaal.
(More Than Ready – Quiet Now by Tiznow)

Keep an eye on both regally-bred juveniles.

Thanks for the valuable correction!

Hi Jorge,

You had mentioned The Lumber Guy in one of the races on Saturday.

I took a look at him and wow, he is GORGEOUS! Has more of an Arabian head than other TB's. Beautiful coloring, too bad they all go white!
We will NEVER see another Ruffian......

You are quite welcome. Thanks for your participation.
What also I like about him is that he seems like a valiant blossoming
solid hearted equine capable of more ----- at least with his will!

Good they followed the suggestion about running him in the BC Sprint rather than in the BC Mile.

I made a post regarding Morandi, even though I couldn't remember the name, just before Jorge posted his reply to erhrdt3, and it has been deleted.
What gives? I have not been notified that I am not allowed to post anymore. if that is the case, I'd like to be told, so I don't waste my time.

Georgerz,

Thank you for trying to assist us. Wasn't aware.
Anyway thanks for suggesting this quite promising name.

Hmmm, interesting grey colt indeed!
