Breeders' Dream Team

[AndyPandy]

Hi all - another breeding post - where are all you breeders!?

Question: If you could pick 5 stallions, who are still alive to use in your breeding programme, who would they be: Feel free to give reasons or not. Just to get the ball rolling, mine are (in no particular order):

Sandro Hit
Staccato
Verdi
Quidam de Revel
Baloubet du Rouet

Any other offers?

Know nothing about breeding but love baloubet!

 

[Frazer]

Also know nothing about breeding but love baloubet and Sandro Hit!! Both amazing horses, and throw amazing foals.

 

[sallyf]

Sadlers wells
Danehill
Storm Cat
Fappiano
Kingmambo
Not that i could afford a hair of them let alone a stud fee.

 

[AndyPandy]

Awesome TB selection! VERY expensive though.

 

[Frazer]

Ohh also love Sadlers wells and Storm Cat!! I wonder if my tb mare would like any of them *thinking*... or if she could afford any of them *thinking*

 

[vicijp]

Sinndar
Bahamian Bounty
Zaha
Pistolet Bleu
Danzero

Sadlers Wells,
Refuse to Bend
Cadeaux Genereux
Firebreak (hopefully we're using him this year)
and even though he's dead... supreme leader

 

[racingdemon]

Wouldn't recommend Zaha.... our very nice mare produced a god awful foal by him, (her pursuit of love foal was 100x nicer)

 

[vicijp]

I like Pursuit Of Love, I have had a load by his half brother Courtship - all smashing types.
Im not planning to go to Zaha, but reckon he will be big in a few years time and his yearlings are going pretty cheap at the mo..... Would be the type to buy and resell as stores.
Mare might go to Alflora next year, or liking Auction House, or maybe the Linamix at Mickley.

 

[racingdemon]

dirt cheap atm.... the one we bred would make an ok hurdler, but i was really disapointed in him, based on his sales results i can't see him getting any decent mares, & hasn't he gone back to the southern hemisphere... he wasn't in this years Stallion book, which i thought was interesting, We're hopefully going to firebreak this time (if i have my way we will, but mother wants to go to pursuit of love AGAIN... (mare is in foal to him atm)

 

[vicijp]

Henrietta Knight has a few by him, one was 2nd in a bumper a few weeks ago. TBH, I dont know a lot about him at all.
Firebreak looks a decent stallion prospect. Will you keep any of the youngsters to race for yourselves?

 

[cazza]

Erm don't know, although I do have a Darshaan (sire) out of On Fair Stage (dam) who is by Sadlers Wells. He goes like s*!t off a shovel

Lol! I was going to ask...have you won the lottery!

 

[seza]

Heartbreaker
Corland
Quickstar
Quito de bussy
baloubet du Rouet
I've cheated slightly as we already have a horse by Baloubet du Rouet but I would always have another one.

 

[sallyf]

Unfortunately no although keep trying even a tenner would be good occasionally.
Will just have to settle for my boy, at least he has two of those legends in the 1st two generations of his pedigree.

Echo this Zaha was shipped to India i think pretty dam quick once he had yearlings on the ground.
Nobody wanted to use him.
Firebreak looks interesting , was loooking at the booklet Bearstone sent out the other day.
Also think Indesatchel looks interesting there.
The word on the street for this years new sires though is Iceman although to look at he wasnt my cup of tea.
