3 most intriguing. stallion prospects still racing?

Postby bdw0617 » Wed May 21, 2008 2:32 pm

For me it's Court Vision, Tale of Ekati and MR MISTOFFELEES


Casino Drive if he can count.

Intruiging

Do you mean intruiging? If so, I also like Court Vision.

If you are going to correct a person's spelling mistake, perhaps you should spell it correctly: intriguing.

The two I'm most interested in at the moment are Zanjero and Notional.

A.P. Arrow, Pyro and Heatseeker have done enough to make them really interesting to me.

Etched, Numaany, First Defence, Mint Lane, True Cause, Parading, Sightseeing, and Golden Spikes are ones I'm watching closely. They need to prove themselves a little more but they have terrific families behind them and have already shown some good talent.

Champs Elysee, I say. Is everyone allergic to grass?

Good call, Um! Would love for him to stand in the States. His brother has done enough at stud to warrant a ton of interest in Champs.

I'd take Champs over Zanjero in a New York minute. But maybe I like different things in a stallion.

i said top 3 sires, not top.

I like Zanjero's first two generations a hell of alot. plus he's from a damline that has some pretty darn good stallions in it (awesome again, macho uno). he was my 2nd favoriate stallion prospect last year behind corinthian. Plus i think he is a legit grade 1 horse now. he wasn't in the kentucky derby. he's done alot since then.


I like CE alot, but banks hill while a GOOD sire isn't worth me going to his (less talanted) brother over. I mean if you could get a deal I'm in, but I like zanjero more. CE just comes from a very fancy pedigree and it's pretty to look at.

Hey BDW, I don't think Banks Hill has the necessary "equipment" to stand stud!

I get that entire crew mixed up. which one of his brothers is actually a pretty decent sire? I know his sister is intercontinental

On the other hand, Dansili has had nice results at stud. I would assume Cacique will be similarly successful. What a family!

In regards to CE, it ain't just Banks Hill. Any horse that is a sibling to 5 SW, 4 of them millionaires, is OK by me.

The horse that was flying up to war chant in the 2000 mile? that dansili?

Ummyeah..

lol, I like him to!!! I just like zanjero more. Look at Fall Aspen. Fall Aspen could make a baby with the best of them. They could all run like the dickens. Timber Country, Colorado Dancer, etc. 4 grade 1 winners.

Out of ALL of her mares, hell even throw in Timber Country, there is only 1 grandchild of hers worth any significance, and that's dubai millinum.. lol, now he makes up for a whole lot, but that's still 1 in like 50. and when I say any significance Id on't mean millionaires, I mean horses that could hit the track and make you a return on investment. Any return on investment. that's a horrid line of horses once you get past DM. he even has like 5 or 6 full siblings and not one of them can run.

what i am getting at is running and baby making are two different things. Hasili has shown she can produce a runner but i haven't seen anything from her grandkids yet.. which can be said for zanjero I know. And yes you really can't go wrong when you are taking Juddmonte, but I just like zanjero.

Yeah, the same can definitely be said about Zanjero's dam. She hasn't produced anything that has produced anything yet, so if I follow your argument, the jury's still out on her. Going back to the second dam, there's a lot of ordinary horses, with the possible exception of two Storm Cat colts, Storm Creek and Storm in May. Is it that you like Storm Creek that much?

And as I said earlier, I think we might have different ideas regarding what makes an intriguing stallion prospect. And that's completely OK.
