Derby Sire Lines
This won't help pick the winner but if the track comes up wet the Mr. Prospector line is as good as any to choose from. The number following the sire line indicates how far removed the derby entrant is from that sire. Mine That Bird made it two out of the last four years that the RAN curse was broken and was the first of many "top and bottom" Raise A Native's to contend the derby in years to come.
For what its worth (which isn't much from a wagering standpoint) here's the top 25 list. (Raise A Native) Phalaris Line (Darley Arabian) 1 Lookin At Lucky-Smart Strike (Mr. P.) 2 3 Rule-Fusaichi Pegasus (Mr. P.) 3 20 Homeboykris-Fusaichi Pegasus (Mr. P.) 3 2 Noble's Promise-Carson City (Mr. P.) 3 21 Jackson Bend-Carson City (Mr. P.) 3 10 Endorsement-Forty Niner (Mr. P.) 3 7 Mission Impazible-Unbridled (Mr. P.) 4 (ONLY PRINCEQUILLO BROODMARE SIRE LINE IN THE FIELD) 17 Interactif-Unbridled (Mr. P.) 4 13 Dublin-Northern Afleet (Mr. P.) 4 22 Backtalk-Gone West (Mr. P.) 4 RAN 4 Sidney's Candy-Cryptoclearance (Mr. P.) 5 14 Super Saver-Majestic Prince (Raise A Native) 5 24 Exhi-Majestic Prince (Raise A Native) 5 (Northern Dancer) Phalaris Line (Darley Arabian) 19 Paddy O'Prado-Sadlers Wells (Northern Dancer) 3 16 Dean's Kitten-Sadlers Wells (Northern Dancer) 4 RAN 5 Eskendereya-Storm Cat (Northern Dancer) 4 23 Make Music for Me-Storm Cat (Northern Dancer) 4 RAN 6 Line of David-Storm Cat (Northern Dancer) 5 18 Awesome Act-Deputy Minister (Northern Dancer) 4 RAN 9 Stately Victor-Deputy Minister (Northern Dancer) 5 (Nasrullah) Phalaris Line (Darley Arabian) 8 Ice Box-A.P. Indy (Bold Ruler) 5 15 Discreetly Mine-A.P. Indy (Bold Ruler) 5 11 Conveyance-In Excess (Nasrullah) 7 (St. Simon line) (Darley Arabian) 25 Setsuko-Ribot (St. Simon) 10 RAN ... Our breeding industry needs more good sires from this line ! (Man O' War line) (Godolphin Arabian) 12 American Lion-In Reality (Man O' War) 8...Same here ! Sadly the Byerly Turk line has no representatives and unless Precisionist's sons produce a miracle this line is all but dead. |

I don't. If I consider him then I have to look at 15. I didn't consider MTB, but in no way do I regret tossing him completely.
