I think the Buckland background is good but there's just nothing in the last 2 generations worth getting excited about. Some good outcross possibilities I should think - maybe MP line.

Run the race - the one that's really worth winning.

she already has 4 foals, so I'd see what they are doing. I loved Groovy as a racehorse, but I am not so sure about his broodie value.

check out her catalog page at http://www.handride.com/detail_pedigree.asp?horse_id=1060

fior de castagna

As she is already inbred (far enough back) to the great Grey Flight, I would consider adding another instance in the sire. Silver Music (NY) would be a possibility...
