Sunriver's Foals

Postby Shawklit Won » Tue May 12, 2009 5:04 pm

I have been looking through the pedigrees of Sunriver's foals, and it is apparent to me that they are being bred for the turf, which makes sense because Sunriver proved to be a much better grass horse than a dirt racer, even though Sunriver did win a graded stakes on dirt.

Of the 15 pedigrees that I looked at, a dozen were inbred to Northern Dancer (most 4 x 4 but 3 or 4 were inbred to ND 4 x 5). I would expect that Sunriver will get some runners... on grass. How good they will be remains to be seen.
