Breeding to race

[Blue feather]

I could use some advice on picking stallions for 3 mares.
Authorization(Private Terms)
Pink Ibis(Scarlet Ibis)
Dynamite Dancing(Alphabet Soup)
Pa,Md,NY,WV preferably.

Blue Feather, please let us know what your stud fee ranges are for your breed-to-race operation?

For Authorization, I would look at Louis Quatorze. This gives you a RF thru Shenanigans 4x4 and Almahmoud 5x5. The GSV is 67.95.

For Dynamite Dancing, Louis Quatorze would also work giving RF Shenanigans 4x5 and Natalma 4x5 with a GSV of 67.23.

Pink Ibis is difficult to match up but if you don't mind going to Florida, Pico
Central is interesting. That gives you Tellaris 6x6 and also gives you full sibs Imbroglio and Nantua. I don't know Argentine bloodlines well but Imbroglio was one of their better studs.

As far as a price range, around $5000 for Authorization. Pink Ibis and Dynamite Dancing,$2500.

hi Rick

Pink Ibis is difficult to match up but if you don't mind going to Florida, Pico Central is interesting.

As a racehorse, Pico Central was obviously gifted (eclipse caliber in my opinion) in the talent category...but in his new career as a stallion and sire prospect he brings some physical issues (including two clubby-feet up front, and back at the knee) to the table that arguably should be seriously considered and evaluated before possibly sending a mare to him.

This average-size son of Lane's End expatriate Spend A Buck does offer very good balance and proportion; but, I suggest that his physical issues and pedigree are but a few reasons to be wary...and that arguably his advertised stud fee offers 10,000 more reasons to look elsewhere.

For Authorization, I would recommend you consider Lion Hearted in Maryland. Lion Hearted is already the sire of stakes winner out of a Private Terms mare. I believe it is Maddy's Lion, but you could find out for sure if you look him up in the BH Stallion Register. He stands at Northview for $5,000. Lion Hearted has a double of La Troienne, and returns of the La Troienne/War Admiral shows up in most of his stakes runners. I've also noticed that Private Terms seems to have an affinity for Storm Cat in general, so this is a promising cross. Unfortunately, Private Terms has been pensioned, so those with Storm Cat Line mares will have to look elsewhere.
