The Ky July has 7 NY breds.

The Spa Select has 7 NY breds.
The Preferred has 222 NY breds.
The Open has 73 NY breds.

Last Oct Timonium had 132 NY breds out of over 900 head.
Last Dec. Timonium had 48 NY breds out of about 600 head.
Last NYBSC Oct sale had about 190 NY bred head, mostly weanlings.

Hip 130 in the July Sale is rumored to be a monster...

Here is the filly's page #130
http://www.fasigtipton.com/catalogs/2008/0714/130.pdf

Traipse has been outcrossed to the 2 Northern Dancers in Medallist. There is a 4dx5sx6d Hail To Reason cross at the top of the linebreeding chart. From the immediate family of Dynaformer and other G1 winners; 3-0-12-1-0 dp; di 1.29; cd 0.31; e nick A, true nick B, gsv 59.18.

This is some paper stuff. Yes the physicals are huge.

I'm curious if you think the breeder made a good mating decision?

[sumitas]

I do. I like the x2 Northern Dancer outcross. Closest up you have the x3 Hail To Reason. They've taken the 2 Nearctics (Northern Dancer's sire) and crossed them with a Nearctic in the dam through the filly Snow Bower, 6sx6sx5d. This Nearctic is a powerful sex balanced cross. There is plenty of support from LaTroienne, Scapa Flow, Selene. You have two reines on the bottom line that produced Dynaformer, etc. . This is a very very good pedigree on paper imo.

Edit: Touch Gold has no Hail To Reason. Maybe that's why they went to Medallist, to get that x3 cross.
