Allou was bred to Birdstone - he was small but he really came into his own by the time he was a yearling.

I just had a mare approved to English Channel. Although he is small - 15.2 - what are your thoughts with him to Allou? Gotta love those Smart Strikes right now

Hi CLH--
sorry, meant to congratulate you on getting English Channel for Allou!
I like the match. Interesting linebreeding (Jet Action is something you don't see everyday) and as far as my project database of injuries/illnesses, no red flags at all as far as Smart Strike as the grandsire, and almost none with her family, or SS as broodie sire.
I agree also that the Birdstone foal was a real balanced beauty.
Also EC certainly had the drive to win, which is something you've mentioned Allou lacked--?

Toccet02 - Allou lacked drive???? Only at race time which is putting it mildly. She really thought she didn't need to run - afterall - she is the daughter of SS and the granddaughter of Easy Goer. Hello? I can just get all gussied up and look nice She did however love to work out in the mornings by herself when it was just her and another horse on the track - she ran well then - course she was getting alot of attention. IF she only knew how much more attention she'd have gotten if she actually WON (HA)
Thanks for your thoughts on EC - I like him - he was small - Allou is big and has alot of bone to her and seems to pass it on. I liked that EC raced until he was 5 and that he won over $5 million....

Well, why didn't the other horses simply fall at her feet in awe of her superior bloodlines (not to mention beauty) and let her trot to the wire in a spontaneous walkover?
I mean please.
I quite agree with Allou on that point.
In any case, yeah English Channel was a real champ, and Smart Strike is very hot right now, AND rightfully so. How often do we get to say that?
Best of luck!!
