Corinthian and Hard Spun top my prospect list.

On Jazil.... for 10k, I'll take my chances on a Grade 1 horse with stanima out the wazoo who's closely related to Rags to Riches as well as Peeping Fawn. one of the stronger families around, with seeking the gold on top. might be Seeking the gold's best bred son at stud.

1) Corinthian
2) Political Force
3) After Market
4) Hard Spun
5) Zanjero/Chelokee
I'm not bashing, I want to learn something. explain to me why you are head over heels for Corinthian? I just don't see it. make me see the light maven!!
i'll give you after market.. I actually just forgot about him. but I still don't think he would crack my top 5
I love Zanjero's female family, him and storm and may share the same 2nd dam, but I like Chelokees as well, probably more. both should do fine in the shed. I am also interested to see what this will do to Cherokee runs fee.
You can have hard spun.

there are too many speed based mares to cross him with that thiss hould be a problem.
3 of my fav stallions, Sadler's wells, Rahy and Nortern Dancer are pretty small horses by comparison to other stallions.

Corinthian.
First off, Pulpit has been a very popular and versatile stallion. He's, at this point, Indy's best son at stud, and he gets runners on every surface.
Corinthian's female family is truly one of the best in the studbook. He traces back to Rough Shod II, who is without argument, one of the most influential foundation mares in the WORLD.
Rough Shod produced Moccasin, champion 2-year-old filly and co-Horse of the Year, Ridan, Lt. Stevens, and Thong.
Thong in turn, produced the dam of champion stallion Nureyev, Special, who in turn, produced the dam of champion stallion Sadler's Wells.
Other members of this family are champions Gamely and Apalachee, important stakes winners Drumtop, Hail Atlantis, Gambetta, Staretta, Geiger Counter, Cutlass, King Pellinore, Thatch, etc.
Besides producing champion stallions Sadler's Wells and Nureyev, they're also responsible for recent good stallions Stormy Atlantic and Storm Boot, and recent retired G1 winner Bandini.
And trust me, i'm forgetting important horses! I think the only other family that probably have had historically more important sons at stud is the Almahmoud clan.

damn I might have been looking at the wrong pedigree... where do I sign up!
so it's no confidence that Stormy Atlantic is doing well at stud and Corinthian should have every right to do just as well if not better.
are you going to send any mares his way?

I will probably send something his way. He's been my "hot stallion prospect" since he was a yearling. I saw him at the Saratoga sale and LOVED him.
It really all depends on how the mares stack up to him later in the year. If something looks good with him, he'll be my first choice from a commercial play.
