Afleet Alex is a poor cross
Rahy works well in many ways
Smart Strike would make the foal inbred 2x4 to Mr. P which is too close for me
Pleasant Tap works on blood but is probably too big
Quiet American would be 3x4 to Mr. P but would most likely produce a real coarse foal
Charismatic is not under consideration
Summer Squall is dead
Sunday Silence is dead
Unbridled is dead but would be a poor match if we could somehow revive him
Awesome Again is a great match
Kittens Joy is a no because of conformational issues and the fact that I think he has zero shot to be a good stallion

Afleet to Mr P has never worked very well.
I will be surprised if AA is a good stallion

Arch?
War Chant?

Arch is ok
I am not a big War Chant fan. His horses have been very ordinary and very few handle dirt. He is more like a 10k stallion

So should we send an invite to Rahy for dinner and a movie?

Then wouldn't Unbridled's kid Empire Maker not be a good match.
Now that I look at Charismatic.. not good on classic numbers at all.
So.. since Charismatic's sire and Mineshaft's sire had the same dam..
(Summer Squall is listed as pentioned not dead but he may be dead. Same difference)
The problem I see with all of these freshman sires is... unproven and the buzz may be over by the time Sumwon's baby hit auction. Not that I know a ding dong thing about this.

say.. Congaree raced until he was 5 so maybe will produce sound babies
heck..

Rahy is still available $60,000 for 2007

Why are you all about breeding her already? Unless something happens, she is gonna be a force for like the next two-three years

Yeah, hopefully by the time she retires there will be little Street Sense's, Curlin's, and Hard Spun's going through the sale rings.

Chuck brought it up on the website besides mares have been known to race.

Just think of the name possibilities for a RH10 and Sumwon baby....

[BPLichorowiec]

I have a general breeding question that somewhat relates to sumwon...

What kind of sire would work well with a horse like 'sumwon'? She seems to be a middle distance type horse. she also has the turf pedigree from Moll and the dirt pedigree from Came home.

Should she be bred to a sprinter? Distance horse? or even possibly a turf horse? Just want to hear people's opinion's and reasoning. Any ideas?

i think rock hard ten would be a tremendous mistake. too much size, bad legs--and sumwon is a little long in the pastern, so that is something you would want to try to correct. with her size, i don't think a big horse would be a good idea.
