He should be a good outcross for a lot of mares, and you can never ignore Lalun blood that close up in a pedigree, which is harder and harder to find. Would love to see some Sadler's Wells line mares go to him. Sadler's Wells is remarkable with Lalun blood.

But for the record, he's a "sit and wait" type with me. I wouldnt breed to him until he proved himself. But he's far from dull pedigree wise.

yea but you can find a positive in the breeding of almost any horse.

come on, you even got my hopes up for the 2008 debut of the Boundary-Bailar baby. We all know it's going to be running up the track in Hawthorne 10K maiden claimers by the winter of her 2yo season!

But thanks for the hope

Absolutely not... most horses have crap families behind them. This guy just doesnt fit that bill. And for the record, I told you I didnt like Boundary but that the family wasnt "horrible".
