Big Truck - NY bred

[Linny]

I see that Patriot Act is listed at a $6k fee. I recall hm as a long time G1 placed maiden after he was 2nd or 3rd to a fast Lukas 2yo in a KY G1. If Farish and some of his partners support him with well bred mares, he could be an interesting stallion. His female family appears to be a bit of an outcross for alot of the Farish and partners mares, though being my Indy, he still carries alot of that "Lane's End" blood.

What are the breeders' thoughts about Utopia. I find it intersting that his Northern Dancer is through Northern Taste, a stallion who's blood is unknown in the US. Forty Niner didn't become the sire of sires that alot of people expected but he has a few useful horses.

The other new stallion of interest to me is Defer. At $6500, I think he brings alot of pedigree to the table. Though he never really live up to expectations he was hardly a disaster. He was a pretty good 2yo but was still running well later in his career. Danzig means grass but it also means "mud" which of course we get in abundance in NY racing.
