LITF will be an interesting stallion to watch because you don't normally see a champion sprinter with this sort of pedigree. His sire (Lost Soldier) was a stakes winner at 9f and is out of a Secretariat mare.
His broodmare sire Dr. Carter was a multiple graded stakes winner at 10f and has sired some solid route runners himself like former Canadian HOY Benburb. LITF has the pedigree of a router but he never tried it himself and he was an eclipse award winning sprinter. That sounds like a recipe for a good stallion.

On the other hand many question whether he ever beat anybody and if his eclipse award was a fluke (see the really long thread on this board regarding this topic) and while his pedigree is solid, Lost Soldier and Cloud Break don't exactly make for a sure thing.
It is always difficult to predict what these horses will do as stallions but in LITF's case I think it is even more difficult than usual.
