What type mares do you think he should be bred too?

No opinions? Should he even be a breeding stallion?

He's certainly won often enough at a high enough level to be worth standing at stud.

....but not in the US. Aside from the very elite, there aren't enough races for horses who want to race longer than 1 1/16 on grass to make him economically viable, even as a breed to race horse. Perhaps especially as a breed to race horse.

This would be a good horse to go to India, where they are trying to upgrade their stock and where staying races are the big thing. He'd also work well in New Zealand, who has a niche market as breeding stayers for the Australasian racing community, or in France or Italy.

I saw on a local breeding farms Facebook page that he is going to be standing locally and was just curious as to what type mares would go to him.

In his case I wouldn't look for pedigree so much as mares with good speed on turf and synthetics, who have a very similar physical type.
