Silver Music's fee seems plenty good too.

if they are a physical match the Silver Music/Darbay, i guarantee that pedigree has winner written all over it. Nines Wild, Night Caller, and Trick Me are tail male Ice Capade in NY.

The Key Contender/Bourbon Streettune i like because of the Ace Card 5x5 that results. I think Concorde Bound has had some success crossing Bold Ruler line to Bold Ruler tail male which the Key Contender gives you too. A nice ped always results when you cross the potent males and then inbreed a reines de course to really tighten up the ped. Inbreeding reine de course gives the sire more of what he is looking for, imo.

Calumar, a Calumet bred son of Seattle Slew, is a 1/2 brother to Alydar and he has just never gotten decent mares. He has shown success with Northern Dancer influenced mares. He is a great outcross for Northern Dancer/Mr Prospector and more breeders need to send him some mares. He's not getting any younger and his pedigree is to die for.

Of course you should match the couple physically before a mating, not just on paper.

Danzig and Sumitas,
Thank you both very much.
I'll be doing research and having a look at them at the farms.
I have an "in" with High Cliff, so Key Contender might be right.
Do you know anything about Dehere? He's the sire of Stanislavsky.
The grey filly has turned into something. Of course, she's about two years from hitting the track, but looking better every day.
Thanks for your insights. I write them all down.
Calamar! And here I was looking at Aly Galore.

Calumar is one of the world's best bred horses.

you're welcome....altho i didn't do a whole lot! but i like looking at pedigrees...if i didn't work so much, i might make all that a hobby. but no time right now. maybe some day.

as for dehere....for starters i know he's on the leading sire list by AEI...he's tied with forestry @ 21 with a 2.10 lifetime aei.

looking at his pedigree...nice bottom half. secretariat mare, out of a damascus mare.

lots of precocity in dehere and stanislavsky--and stans damsire nuryev (a 3 yo champ) is a half to a 2 yo champ filly in france.
