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
