Breeding

Postby PhantomMask » Sat Sep 27, 2014 11:11 am

Hi...I have a question. In going to true nicks I see they use a cross of Street Cry and Dixie Union for the mating of New Years Day which I expected. Yet, when I mate a Candy Ride with Hula Skirt, they don't use Dixie Union, but rather go back 5 generations to Northern Dancer. Is there any reason for this

I ran into something similar a couple years ago.. Fire off an email to Byron Rogers at True Nicks and maybe he can answer it. Or he may answer it here.
