Default Honu - That Said

What are some of your favorite stallions that produce offspring that you work with? Also, it appears the Mandella barn is coming on strong with many competitive two year olds. Any that have caught your eye yet to make their first start? Lastly, what are your current favorite horses to work with?

Thanks and i enjoy your comments and perspective that you bring....

Well some of my favs are on the bench right now , so I have to get new favs lol . In our barn I usually know alot more of the broodmares babies ( been around too long ) as alot of the babies I have ridden their mothers and their daughters or sons in the past . I like alot of the Dixie Unions , I used to gallop him and he was always a class act , I like the War Chants , very sensible horses that have alot of charater and real intelligent looks about them.
Most of the Grand Slams I have been around I like , they are usually hearty horses with the ability to go short and long on the grass or the dirt.
Its hard for me to pick a favorite sire line because we get so many well bred horses thru the barn , but as you can see I can tell you the one's I dont like lol.
We do have a Mineshaft baby that I like , he has in incredible way of moving but is just a little bit immature right now but down the road I think he is going to be something .
I hate to tout horses because sometimes they dont live up to my expectations so Ill just leave it at that , we do still have some 2 yr olds for Wayne Hughes that I havent seen yet and some more for Diamond A to come in so hopefully we can keep the winning trend going with our babies.

It will be interesting to see who really pans out next year between the Empire Makers, Vindications and Mineshafts, all of which I think Wayne picked up one or two!
