I would love to hear your learned opinions on mating ..

...she's got a 2006 and 2007 Van Nistelrooy and gave her last year off due to late foal...he's too pricey now...looking in KY and breeding to race in the $7500 top range...looking @ Mr Sekiguchi, Honour and Glory, During, Even the Score and Forest Grove....opinions on these or any other?

I really like Bright Launch with her, returns The Axe and Bold Ruler. Her family has done the best with Bold Ruler blood.
Another possible would be Bold Truth, gives a 4x4 Mr. P and returns the Hail to Reason and Bold Ruler. Lots of options with this mare as long as you don't over breed. Good Luck.

This mare has so many choices available!
I really like Star Dabbler, a new horse at Richland Hills. Fee fits, he is an outstanding looking stallion, and is a Hail to Reason line.
Also, Cape Town, an old tried and true horse who seems to love Northern Dancer line mares.
Looking at the Storm Cat line horses out there, value-wise you might look at Stormin Fever. Lots of horses, whose progeny have earned far less are not as accomplished, have much higher fees.

She went to visit Seeking The Best on Monday....now I wait...it would be so nice to have an early foal...I feel bad because when I retired her I promised her no more little guys would be on her back..I forgot to mention that she'd be having a big guy on her back once a year.
