Are your goals to breed to race? What is it about these stallions that you like?

either sell both or i will keep one foal and sell one foal and decide wich one after they are yearlings. Both Stallion farms were receptive to working with me and offered me decent terms etc.. just thought i would get oppinions from others before i decide to do this. otherwise i will be breeding to PA stallions
thank you

I'm extremely partial to Dynaformer, and would love for Purim to be his first decent sire. It's hard to say why Dynaformer hasn't become a sire of sires - he might be no good, but in fact the majority of his good male horses have been gelded, and I'm only actually aware of three Dynaformers standing at stud. Blumin Affaire was a third in the Kentucky Derby very early on in Dynaformer's career but hasn't been a good sire. Dynameaux was standing in Texas, haven't heard a thing about him, although he did win about 600K on the track. Final Markdown was a Dynaformer standing in ?Pennsylvania but I'm not sure if he ever raced. Dynaformer's best ungelded horse was Dynever who was sent to the Middle East and renamed so I have no idea whether he became a successful stud or even a stud at all. I find things to like in Purim's female family and so depending on the deal you get, he might be worth a shot. He certainly inherited Dynaformer's durability, and this year captured his G1. Also something to consider is that he performed on both dirt and turf and in these days of synthetic tracks when you aren't sure what you are going to do with the offspring, such versatility might be worth factoring in. Sorry I don't know anything about the others you are considering.

Crystal, no offense but I have lived in NY all my life, my family has owned numerous buisinesses. Understand how NY is with Buisness..and now the NY's Government is involved in racing's decision, I'm shying away from NYBREDS right now! make me a offer i cant refuse and i will foal in NY or PA depending on terms. I spent 2 summers in Saratoga when I first got into this I love NY racing and hope it survives. but I have no faith in NY's Government..so breeding is a hoby for now(actually it always was) . I think PA is the place to be in a few years and il have at least 3 ready to go!
