Default US Based Stallions
Just wondering if you had a free season to any US based Stallion would Storm Cat be in your top two, or would you push him lower behind AP Indy and Kingmambo or maybe someone else???? Assuming you had a mare who could cross to any of the three.....

I would choose Seeking The Gold. His family just has so
many great horses in it

I would love to find a Stallion with a dying sire line (ex. Princequillo.) There are way too many Mr. P, Northern Dancer etc. sire lined stallions out there.

Another Stallion I would had love to breed to was Lord At War, his
offspring could run on any surface.

Read that 95%+ of all horses bred today have that Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer cross and it is extremely difficult to get away from that. Believe that Kris S. might be one sire who gets you away from that...

the great indian charlie is almost a complete outcross to all major sire lines these days!

i've always been fond of jade hunter too. he's sired some remarkable horses, yet stands for only 5k after being banished to ny.

If I had a nice mare, I'd take a shot with Holy Bull.

Depends on physical aspects of mare, her conformation, etc. as well as breeding. I was looking at the stallion stats in the Thoroughgraphs yesterday and noted how ordinary Storm Cats's offsprings average numbers were in relation to A.P. Indy's.

always liked him.

i think i'd head to distorted humor with the right mare. or include, always partial to broad brush as well.
then there's officer, or maybe vindication. hard to say with this mythical mare of mine....

or maybe running stag!

3 of my top choices too, along with A.P. Indy (or even Aptitude if I'm feeling cheap) & Empire Maker....I'm going to need more mares.

Storm Cat wouldn't be anywhere on my list honestly. Anyone catch the list of his top yearling progeny by sales price in the past few years and their race record (or lack thereof)?

I agree that Empire Maker could turn out to be a very, very attractive stallion. I also love Distorted Humor, Belong To Me and 2 newbies Bellamy Road and Artie Schiller(for the fee they seem very attractive)
