Key Phrase in turn has dropped NY stakes sprinter, Key Deputy, a sporadic campaigner for the Live Oak Plantation (12 career starts); Key Maker, a talented, but fragile CA colt that got a triple digit Beyer breaking his maiden off a yearlong layoff before descending into low claiming races (15 starts); highly touted, but never proven sprinter and now popular sire Yankee Gentleman (10 career starts); and Zing (8 starts) who as a broodmare has produced, Half Ours (7 starts), a stakes-winning Unbridled's Song colt (and new sire) that spent more time at the ranch than he did at the track.

Sown herself was a 1/2 to top CA sire Pirate's Bounty, who made 15 career starts.Triba

The irony of it all is that the 2nd dam, Bad Seed, made 44 career starts.
WOW! That's homework. Maybe one of these will last a while. I thought GB looked good, there's definitaly some runners there.

I see Georgie Boy is likely not going to run in the Derby anymore either, makes me feel better I decided against putting a future on him.
