What is with their love for Unbridled's Song? They breed to him, and now they want to breed to Songandaprayer, who is by Unbridled's Song?
Other than his one BC Distaff winner, has he actually sired much other than fragile horses that break down quickly and easily?
Maybe I am forgetting some other good ones, but even the good Unbridled's Songs I remember are horses like Buddha and Rockport Harbor, and they were not exactly the most sound horses in the world.

Yes.

Songandaprayer was also the sire of What A Song---who was cut out to be a superstar sprinter/miler. After a record 20 3/5th work at Barretts March, he fetched $1.9 million, and defeated eventual 2yo champion Stevie Wonderboy in each of his first two career start.

He won the Grade 2 Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar in career start #3..in hand and with a triple digit Beyer figure. He died a week later.

And it's a world record for fastest quarter mile ALL breeds (20.60 seconds.)

It's been bested a few times since mid April.

Three times over KEE's polytrack at the KEE April preview, and once at Barretts May over an equally souped up surface.

Oh. Oh well... fast nonetheless.

It's a shame that he broke down.

A Carson City (Hip #192) just worked 20 2/5ths at the Barretts May Sale.

A Lemon Drop Kid and a Yankee Gentleman worked 20 1/5 at the recent Keeneland Sale. Those two horses set the new world record.

A Quarter Horse has ran 20.6 before as well.

I like Unbridled's Song. Quite a few of his babies are extremely fast and a lot of them move well.
