Pedigree Query

He's by Theatrical out of a Foolish Pleasure mare, which is intriguing.

Oooh, yes, I like Foolish Pleasure. He is intriguing.

Anyone have any thoughts on this stallion for breed to race?

If you are breeding to race, you're better off with a proven stallion. You also need to consider whether, Theatrical is a sire of sires. In the U.S. thus far, his sons have not had much of a reception or impact. Recently one of his best, and probably heir apparent, Shakespere (MG1SW) was sent from Kentucky to Florida, for apparent lack of support.

I happen to really like Del Mar Show and have went up to the farm to see him. From a physical standpoint you probably want to take a larger good boned mare to him. He is a beautiful, balanced, durable, well bred and accomplished (MG2SW) race horse, from my perspective, but he is also a question mark, as a sire at this point.

You have Atticus, Momentum & Good Journey (Aus G1 producer) if you want a little more proven Nureyev blood. I'm not trying to talk you off Del Mar Show, just want provide a different perspective regarding your intent to breed for race. If you don't like the aforementioned alternatives he might be the ticket for you.

Best wishes!

Agreed. And don't forget the best of them all, Unusual Heat.

So True! Far Ahead of the rest!
