my little blue (cure the blues)
just bought this mare Seems to be a pretty nice , does she have a strong enough pedigree to support her as a broodmare?

There will be discouraging times. But a life without horses;
Now that's discouraging.

I'll say she does!
As to stallions FOS is very high on Omega Code (remember what happened to that other Florida Stallion he was high on), and a good thing about Omega Code for My Little Blue is that his grandsire Gone West's dam is bred on the same Bold Ruler/Tom Fool cross as Cure The Blues and Gone West loves returns of that pattern (note especially that Cure The Blues himself has combined with Gone West in a straight up Sire+Damsire Cross in the Champion American Sprinter Cajun Beat).
The damsire of Omega Code isn't bad for My Little Blue either as he's combined with her grandsire Stop the Music in the GIW Mr Purple and with her sire Cure The Blues in the 4XTime G3W Wake At Noon.
Also, Deputy Minister is quite a good nick with Private Account's sire Damacus (see the GIW Dehere, Deifier, Cashier's Dream, and Midas Eyes).
The match-up would also be 4x5 to Damascus.
I tend to think you could get into OC with this mare next year if you're willing to travel and another possibity with the mare is Gold Mover in New York.

This is more of a risk....
...but Cure the Blues has worked POWERFULLY well with Le Fabuleux. Of 11 foals, CTB over Le Fab has resulted in a German champion 3yo and a Venezuelan Triple Crown winner. Unbridled is also bred on this cross.
Unbridled is also the primary source of Le Fabuleux in North America.
A son of Unbridled might therefore be a good match, but I would be extremely wary of soundness problems in this case.
