Sumwon's potential boyfriend
Chuck has a couple things to vote on per the website. http://www.deeteestable.blogspot.com/
I wanted to talk about her potential boyfriend. Not a bum among 'em. Empire Maker $100,000 live foal - I think that his dam is what adds value to the prospect. Ghostzapper $200,000 live foal - Are there any BC Classic champs that make good sires? Mineshaft $100,000 - so so. Don't think he has produced any runners of note yet. Rock Hard Ten $50,000 - this big boy may ruin her but he has a decent profile. If I had to pay the stud fee I would look for a bargain. I think you are lucky to get it back at auction though. The freshman sires usually drop down after the initial buzz. Look at Point Given & Fusaichi Pegasus. Horses like Benchmark used to be $5,000 may still be. He was the sire of Brother Derek. what about Charismatic $35,000 or his sire Summer Squall $50,000. Here's a website that evaluates studs in different price ranges. http://thoroughbredreview.com/StallionWatch.htm

those sires are pretty high for her right now. she'll need to win a few stakes before she can be bred to one of those big boys. some of their stud fees are higher than what she's probably worth currently

I voted for Rock Hard Ten as I want the best time for Sumwon LOL
and who voted that I would likely be kicked out of the track? I've been kicked out of Arlington less than 5 times.

I'd say it's a little premature to call Mineshaft "so-so" and "not having produced any runners of note yet" considering a whopping 3 of his produce (6 starts) have hit the track to this point... At least with Mineshaft you can feel good that his running record was based on talent without added influence of chemical enhancement.

I've never bred a horse in my life, but here's a dream list of what I'd look for. Nobody finds the dream, it's always a compromise.
I don't know the stallions well enough to know this, so maybe others that do know the stallions and what they throw can answer? - middle-sized sire (not too big and doesn't throw huge babies, as Sumwon is a big girl) - relatively compact conformation (but stayer type rather than sprinter type), very balanced with an athletic open way of moving, moderate with no extremes - ** most important: throws good front legs consistently (good sturdy bone, absolutely no toeing out or back at the knees, a good big foot and has heel - good luck finding this in many thoroughbreds  ) - deficient in Mr. Prospector in the pedigree - precocity as 2-year-old not important - tendency to have babies do better at 7f or over - ** good temperment, sensible babies that are not crazy, stupid, and wired to the brink of insanity If a stallion was deficient in ** I'd walk away and not consider him at all  Boy, Awesome Again (I just went and looked at him) - nice! I like Dixieland Band, too - nothing flashy, and not alot of graded stakes runners, but they seem to last and run at 2-3-4 years age

This guy is obviously NOT a potential husband for Sumwon, but this is a cute picture of him:

How about Van Nistelrooy for Sumwon? I bet his fee goes up for next year, though... although he's a son of Storm Cat, I kinda like him.
