zenyatta to be bred in the spring.

She is a very big animal.. I haven't looked at any reference guides. I few come to mind immediately. Pulpit, Ap Indy, Speightstown(she could use a little speed), Tiznow, M'doro..My first would be Pulpit and second would be Indy but I have to qualify the thoughts as completely guesses at this time.

Maybe AP Indy, but she isn't going to Tiznow or O'ro or even Pulpit. Why go to Pulpit when you can go to AP Indy??

Stop it with the Speightstown love

These Speightstowns are off the friggin charts so far. To tell you the truth I think she is so big and so differently made that figuring out what matches her physically is incredibly important. I think its tough to go wrong with AP Indy and he ain't getting any younger so I guess I would want him to get first run..when push came to shove. I think it's too soon to go to Bernardini although he is one fine looking stallion.

With so many of the "high-end" stallions from the Mr. Prospector line, you'd have to think AP Indy, who recently produced Test winner Flashing out of a Machiavellian mare and has shown a pretty good affinity for mares from the Mr. Prospector line (for example, 17% SW from both Mr. Prospector and Seeking the Gold mares, from a pretty large sampling). At 16.2 hands, Medaglia D'Oro might not be the best choice for a mare Zenyatta's size.

If I owned her, I'd also own Giacamo and Tiago.
