need help with old lines

Postby bcassidy » Mon Mar 06, 2006 5:33 pm

I have a 19 yr old mare named Jersey Fresh, she made over 150k and is a stakes winner. She has thrown some very nice foals, one of her foals (Johns Interview) would have been a stakes winner if the owner of that colt had been a little more conservative with him. She needed money and ran the poor bugger right into the ground. He eventually broke down in a race but he ran his eyeballs out and still made about 100k.
I would like some advice about what sire lines you think would cross well with her. I would love to get one or two fillies out of her before she starts to have trouble getting in foal. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
best regards Brendan

with the age of your mare I'm not sure you need a whole lot of lines to look at. Private Interview produced a winner already for you so if you are happy with that horse a repeat breeding might be a good idea.

The winners I can see in the progeny are MR P Lines and Northern Dancer.
I would stick with these since you dont really have time to experiment.

The pedigree I really like in NJ is Flying Pidgeon. He goes back to Round Table, but not sure what he is thought of locally as a sire.

I had a Flying Pidgeon mare. I also know of a few runners from Flying Pidgeon mares. They all have great temperment, and are extremely intelligent as a whole. FP is now making a name for himself as a sought after sire of jumpers.

After checking your mare's JF progeny record, I would not breed her to a son or grand son of Mr. P. As JF has shown no bloodline affinity with that sire line.

I would try a (Fair Play) sire line stallion like Successful Appeal, as this cross has been a golden cross in the past.
