She's brilliant, but she's so inbred I'm surprised she doesn't have an extra leg. It will be very difficult to find a stallion who doesn't duplicate her incestuous breeding. Really don't know if there is a classically bred stallion without Northern Dancer now, and she's 2X3 to Sadlers Wells with two additional crosses to Northern Dancer plus duplication of his sire Nearctic.

Agreed but let's face it, the racing industry wants early speed and not many horses are going to give you that to the degree the industry wants so it was inevitable really. Sad, though.

She is gorgeous. Lovely big ears! I agree finding a stallion might be difficult, Wetherbys care even less than the KC for responsible breeding so it will probably be Galileo.

Will be interested if they would be that rash....

Wouldn't surprise me somehow.

This more likely:https://sporthorse-data.com/testmating?sireid=10554325&horse_id=11279408
This could work:https://sporthorse-data.com/testmating?sireid=11118382&horse_id=11279408
Might be interesting?https://sporthorse-data.com/testmating?sireid=10562177&horse_id=11279408
This might be a good choice as you would have minimal top line ND and wing breed to Shirley Heights (but they might think it would stay too https://sporthorse-data.com/testmating?sireid=10435755&horse_id=11279408
far or something.

Any one else have any ideas? A stallion in the USA to outcross maybe, ND has not been as popular there.

I didn't think her pedigree looked too bad, does that just mean I am too used to the level of welshie inbreeding!?

It isn't her so much it's when she goes to stud herself, there will be a problem finding suitable mates. We won't find out for a while because we are going to have the pleasure of seeing her race another season, hopefully.

I do hope so, she is wonderful.
