Game Plan

Postby Mac » Tue Dec 11, 2007 8:42 pm

I am sure that someone has posted about this sire in the past. He might fit one of my mares....any thoughts on him as a $5000 range breed-to-race sire? He has had a really good year; two very nice grade II winners, another sw who is graded placed, and two new stakes winners last week. I like his pedigree, but he is unraced. Supposedly injured in training.

Game Plan is a LOOKER, and he sires lookers with ability and apparently decent minds. I'm happy to hear his racing get are now doing well. The local/regional sporthorse people have been snapping up his youngsters, as they do fill the bill for sporthorse too.

Thanks, Half-pint! Glad to know he looks as good as his pedigree.

wow.... just googled him to bring up photos - and he's not in WA anymore! Of course, I havent' been paying much attention of late... he's apparently turned into a FAT old guy, though

I remember well when he was debuted here, he was drooly-gorgeous..... and I loved that pedigree, for what we are breeding (jumping ability, good minds)
Of course, with no race record a lot of people were slow to warm up, but his foals have been good, that I've seen. This region isn't heavy on high-end mares, either, so he's done well by what he was brought, I think.

Best of luck with him!
