He comes from an amazing female family-- the Moccasin branch of the amazing Rough Shod clan. Moccasin was an amazon of a filly who was a champion 2 year old and co-horse of the year.

She turned into a brilliant broodmare, producing, among others, champion Apalachee, who in turn, was quite a good stallion. She's also the ancestress of such notable "current" names such as Hail Atlantis, Stormy Atlantic, and Bandini.

The Rough Shod clan is probably one of the best stallion producing families in the book... responsible for such names as Sadler's Wells, Nureyev, Fairy King, etc.

If your mare had bone and matched him well, I would run to him like a fat girl runs to cake!
