Smart Strike is very unlikely as the foal would be 2x4 to mr P and I doubt they have the stomach to inbreed that closely to him.
I would have to think Curlin would be a longshot for personal reasons not to mention he is completely unproven.

If I was asked to choose a mating for her I would choose Medaglia D'oro . The foal would represent a complete outcross and MDO has had tremendous success when crossed with Mr P line mares, including Rachael Alexandra and Warriors Reward. He would also bring speed to the equation.

I would imagine being at Lanes End, she's going to a stallion there.

I don't see her going to MDO, because they are petty and probably would not send Z to the sire of Rachel Alexandra.

Her nick with Indian Charlie is quite excellent!

AP Indy it will be.
