After looking at his blacktype horses, there seems to be some affinity for Seattle Slew blood. Am I imagining this or do other's see it as well?

Thanks!


Good Luck. I've tried to get to him the last two years with a young Theatrical mare which would result in an A++ nick (for what that is worth) but have been rejected each time with the line from Bernie Sams: "we are limiting his book to stakes winners."

The mare we submitted was stakes placed at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park. We were told they were only booking G1 stakes winners and producers for him.

Wow, is there really that much demand for him? I'm surprised at that.

So was I, especially considering its not like he's burning up the barn as far as producing stakes winners is concerned.
