Genuine Reward was one of Genuine Risk foals, never made it to the track and if he did, Bill Mott was to train him. Heard he's standing stud in Wyoming.

Seattle Dancer- half to Seattle Slew(Nijinsky II) went for 13.1 million as a yearling. Made something like 100k on the track...never produced

It would have been VERY impressive if he did produce.

Personally I'm really surprised no one has mentioned the what if as in what if these two race against the Sea the Stars / Zarkava baby.

As an aside, the first "See Rachel" day...

Speaking of champions being bred to each other, Euro HOY and US HOY Giant's Causeway and Azeri have a winning filly in Arienza. That's some nice breeding. I'm pleasantly surprized that Azeri is 2 for 2 with winners as many big tough type mares are not as successful in the shed. Ofc ourse Take Control (Azeri's other starter) has yet to run back after his Dec '09 MSW.

That's where I saw her, next to Sightseek and Stormflag, well she was never really next to them, I thought she looked smallish.
