Cherokee's Boy has a 48/19/10/8 race record earning $1,177,946.
14 of the 19 wins were stakes races and 28 of his 37 win place show were in stakes races.
Recorded nine [9] triple digit Beyers.
Seems to be rare to find a horse that is sound enough to race 48 times and fast enough to have nine [9] triple digit Beyers. Maybe he'll pass it on.
Stands at Maryland Stallion Station for $2,500.

I well know the problem with too much Mr. P but did not know there was a problem with ND line breeding.. Too much of anything is, well, too much but I did not think there was too much ND in either of these two stallions
But I an willing to be educated

PS: Would you consider Limit Out a "proven" stallion??

The linebreeding to Northern Dancer clearly didn't prevent him from being a good racehorse, any more than it did this horse: http://www.pedigreequery.com/big+brown who, by the way, has a stronger concentration of ND in his pedigree than Cherokee's Boy does.

Hi, all!
Yes, I always avoid triple Northern Dancer and any Mr. prospector but that it just my personal preference. I got stuck buying a filly in a 2-1 that is triple ND and it's a battle to find a mate for down the line.
I think breeders are breeding themselves into a corner by not maintaining outcross blood.
In regard to Cherokee's Boy, he is triple Northern Dancer and about 75% of broodmares have Northern Dancer as well. So, what are the chances his foals will have 4 or 5 crosses to Northern Dancer? I would guess very high. I am betting he will not be breeding a book of complete Northern Dancer outcross mares. Especially, since his Regional market is and was filled with heavy Northern Dancer blood.
That is too much in my estimation.
I was thinking about this the other day. We have lost so many outcross race stallions. I am trying to book for my 2 mares. I did settle on Raffie's Majesty for one. However, there are not tons of outcross stallions left that have 5% stakes winners, 70%+ Runners; 50%+ winners, and an AEI higher than their CI. Oh, I mean left and in our price range (aka Rahy and Dynaformer).
I wish that Runaway Groom, Cozzene (who I did breed to last year and got a colt), Broad Brush, Lear Fan, Lord Avie, Bates Motel, Private Terms, Wild again, Skywalker, etc were still at stud. The sad thing is that none left really good replacement sons.....
p.s- Yes, I would consider Limit Out proven and a very good value if you have the right mare.

If you are looking for a non-ND and non Mr. P stallion consider Go For Gin who is a KY Derby winner and placed in the Preakness , the belmont & the Wood memorial. He's also a sire of sires in that Albert The Great sired Nobiz Like Shobiz and the recent winner of the Breeder's Cup mile on dirt.
eNicks says he does very well when crossed onto Forty Niner mares and Albert The Grat is out of a Fappiano mare.
I'm taking a mar4e to him next year that is a FortyNiner grand daughter out of a Cryptoclearance daughter.
fee is $4k and the foal will be eligible for the Maryland Millions plus I have the foal drop in WV and bred its dam to a WV stallion.
