Tiznow wouldn't be a bad option if they don't mind inbreeding to Seattle Slew. The cross of Storm Cat-line mares with Tiznow has led to Folklore, Tiz Wonderful, and American Lion.

Sorry to hear the news. That striking face belonged to her grand dam Ginny Dare that I owned with my racing partner. Javier Castellano said Lovely Syn was the quickest horse out of the gate he had ever ridden. What's interesting is the entire family has been better on the turf. Hopefully, she will make good babies. We only have one member of the family remaining, a 2yo filly from Lovely Syn's half sister by Kingmambo. She had such a white blaze we nicknamed her "Moo."
