Needed a St Ballado(Sunriver) stallion. Werk nicks A+ with the mare. There aren't a lot of them. The concept was IF the Straight Man foal did well and IF the Sunriver's get off to a good start, we could do OK. Plus our mare (at least it was ours till she became mine) is really big and heavy boned I wanted to breed her to something a bit more balanced and not as huge. Confirmation wise Sunriver is pretty correct. Obviously he wasn't a "Steve" star but he was ok.
The Straight Man foal is really pretty straight and has a great hip on her. Would have sent her back to him but Florida was a schlep. Plus shipping the foal from Pa to Fl. at 21 days was too much travel.
