Zenyatta announcement expected later today

Bloodhorse's Stallion Register has free hypomating TrueNicks through Equineline, for the farms that pony up for the service, I assume. The smaller the operation, the less likely you can do a TrueNick hypomating. Just look up AP Indy for example, look on the upper right of the page, there's a link to click on, and you enter the mare's name. It opens in another PDF window. AP Indy gives her an A++ http://www.equineline.com/extendedco...areRef=7156465

Midnight Lute is only a B+ and the results of the crosses it lists don't seem flashy, but he is a young sire, a ginormous specimen, and obviously has speed per his status as Champion Sprinter and two-time BC Sprint winner. Probably unlikely, and not my first choice, but not a complete disaster. Biggest plus, at 17.1 hands, he doesn't have to use a stepping stool.

If anybody's interested in trying to breed an uber turf horse, go to Dynaformer and you get a cross that's led to G1Ws Riskaverse, Film Maker, Barbaro, Gozzip Girl, and White Moonstone. Clearly Barbaro got his G1s on dirt, I just noticed the turf talent trend. http://www.equineline.com/extendedco...areRef=7156465 Hey, a good inbreeding to Roberto never hurt anybody.

I heard AP Indy didn't exactly throw the biggest footed horse. Is that true? I don't imagine a smaller hoof does a foal out of Zenyatta any favors.

What on earth does Smoothie wanna do to AP Indy? Do we need to alert the authorities?
