Default Happy Ticket retired

hands down one of the more beautiful horses in racing and a career to be proud of.

Ap Indy would be a very strong bet.

Maybe a lesser known Stallion? I'd say Mineshaft or maybe even our very own First Sam? They'll end up going to the high end market though I think. AP Indy, Gaint's Causeway or one of the other Kentucky farm horses.

maybe vindication...or maybe mineshaft...
or go to include, her foal would also be free of dancer/mrp, which is hard to find these days.

guess it all depends on what they're looking for. but a little bit fun to speculate.

just hate to always see 'going to storm cat'. let's show some originality for a change!!

I was a really big fan of this mare, especially after she beat Oonagh Maccool this past spring. I hope she passes her quality on to her offspring. Maybe they will send her to AP Indy or Giant's Causeway. AP Indy I hope.

On another note, I tell you a horse that I really like as a sire prospect is First Samuri. I also think this may sound crazy, but I also like Giacomo as a sire prospect. I think these two youngsters are going to have a lot of nice offspring.

I hope she goes to a more regally bred stallion like an AP Indy or Storm Cat. I know you see it all the time, but what she can add to a horse with those kind of regal edigrees is a killer instinct. Let the male supply the bloodlines, let Happy Ticket supply the grit and guts. She was a gamer and will be missed.

She isn't free of Seattle Slew blood, though- her dam is by Septieme Ciel, who is by Seattle Slew. I doubt they would breed her to Indy or another Slew-line stallion
