What lines should a person be looking for to breed to this new stallion?

On paper...

*Any return of the Windfields or Sam-Son foundation lines, such as Briarctic, Icecapade, Raise the Standard, Nijinsky II, Langfuhr, Regal Classic. His genetic sibling Beau Genius (basically a reverse cross of this horse) has done well with duplications of the full brothers Vice Regal and Vice Regent.

*Sir Gaylord, Sir Ivor, Lord Avie, Bates Motel: male line outcross to Turn-To with RF linebreeding to Somethingroyal.

*Forty Niner: Silver Deputy's best runner Silverbulletday is out of a Tom Rolfe mare. Daughters of Forty Niner sons would be at most 4x4 to Mr P, would bring in Tom Rolfe, and would double up on Double Jay.

*Devil His Due: Natalma through Halo (male line outcross) and Double Jay. Linebreeding to Double Jay has worked reasonably well for Devil His Due.

*Cryptoclearance: Silver Deputy has worked well with Fappiano, and this would linebreed to Alanesian through a son and a daughter.

Oops, DUH.

Devil His Due does not linebreed to Natalma, but to Almahmoud via sisters Natalma and Cosmah.

Sorry.

Hi

kimberley mine made some very good suggestions. I might recommend, from a female family perspective, mares with duplications of La Troienne in their pedigree (conduit mare, Doxa), or multiple lines of Plucky Liege. I think some stamina contributions through the mares would help this stallion.
