I think an IC-Zenyatta foal would be interesting and surely would bug the hell out of Smoothcrotch

I might be wrong about this, but I swear I read that their foals were boarded at Mill Ridge

I thought about that too. That would be somethin.

I don't think I've ever seen a Moss homebred by an expensive stallion, so who knows!

Yeah, wait a second, why aren't we considering Tiago and Giacomo here?

That could be right.

To the horror of her fans, I don't believe Lane's End gives public tours...

Blame would be the best choice - it's only right he is the only horse to beat her.

Fabulous idea. The foal will be a great prospect running on grass.
No matter what they do it's a crapshoot.

They would have to prop his little ass up on something to reach a mare of Zenyatta's size.

You know what they say about taller women though..."Toes to toes your nose is in it. Nose to nose your toes are in it."

I'm pretty sure that just concerns humans, now that I think about it.

I haven't read any comments, but she's 100% going to A.P. Indy. Her enick w/ him is an A+++. With Smart Strike it's an F.

Not sure. Some of the farms used to allow you to look up nicks w/ their stallions (Gainesway comes to mind), but I haven't tried to do it that way in a while.

Do you think they really care about an eNick?

I don't disagree that she is going to AP Indy, but she isn't going because of an eNick.

An eNick is a sales tool, and alot of them are phony, especially with newer stallions

I don't really base anything on enicks, but I was just pointing out another factor that slants things towards A.P. I'm sure they're aware of it, but obviously they're not going to base their decision on it (at least not as a reason to go to A.P.). She's just not a good match w/ SS, and the nick shows that, so there's no reason to speculate as to who she's going to first. She was 1/9 to go to him whenever she retired as long as he was still in commission. Too bad they'd never sell that imaginary foal - can't imagine what he'd go for.

Smart Strike is very unlikely as the foal would be 2x4 to mr P and I doubt they have the stomach to inbreed that closely to him.
I would have to think Curlin would be a longshot for personal reasons not to mention he is completely unproven.

If I was asked to choose a mating for her I would choose Medaglia D'oro . The foal would represent a complete outcross and MDO has had tremendous success when crossed with Mr P line mares, including Rachael Alexandra and Warriors Reward. He would also bring speed to the equation.

Not to mention they would sell a colt for 8 figures to Dubai
