Do you think Blame will be a great stallion?

[smartbid09]

I was very impressed with Blame all year! I thought his performance in the Breeders Cup Classic, where he beat Zenyatta, was really gutsy. I was even taken aback by his losing effort in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. I was very impressed at how Blame closed the gap to 2 lengths when hopelessly chasing down Haynesfield.

This Horse has a lot of heart and guts in my opinion and I believe he will pass it on to his offspring. What do you think? Will Blame be an good Stallion? Of course this is all speculative

**** no.

I was going to applaud you for your grammar, but I didn't want to appear catty.

Wow. Sounds like your pissed. Sorry for whatever I said to upset you Charlie.

[Indian Charlie]

I'm always pissed.

But I was just giving you a hard time, nothing more.

Which reminds me of that Slow Children song from a few years back.

Curlin covered 131 mares in the 2009 breeding season.

that's a lot of lovin'!

Blame's sire (Arch) and his dam (Liable) are each tail female to truly amazing mares. Arch traces to Courtly Dee and Liable to Rough Shod. Both of those mares have some pretty strong sires under them.
I'm sure that many of the Claiborne clients will support Blame as they have his sire. Breeders looking to add some stamina to a family heavy with speed might use him.
I am not sure he'll be a "commercial success," his sire really hasn't been. However I see him as more the Broad Brush or Kris S type, he'll have a following of breed to race types.

Arch will certainly become more commercial in coming years. Kris S seems to have a successful son in Rock hard Ten, I would think Claiborne would love Blame to be as well received as RHT.
