Jump Start had 5 starts 2 1 0 $221,265. and was the only one with any black type. His dam has one other by a son of A P Indy named Steady Course 7 starts 2 3 0 $93,405. If his dam was bred to a fast sound siring hard boned horse she might produce a good horse but Overbrook people do no learn from their mistakes. They just keep repeating them. Pioneering is not the best sire in the world but he is the best they have. He is 1/2 to Storm Cat and his dam Terlingua had 3 winners with 24 starts: SW CHAPEL OF DREAMS, Tijuana, and Provo. I did not "slam" Jump Start I just stated the facts. With the right mares he can produce some that stay sound but they might be carrying a recessive gene for fragile bones. Bold Start is doing OK soundness wise with 25 starts.
Just like they keep repeating the A.P. Indy x Flanders cross which obviously isn't very successfull, but they keep doing it.
Steady Cat is a nice mare, no obvious faults, but she did retire from an injury. Her foals are fragile.
