Another celebration for her at Santa Anita before she is off to Kentucky to be bred. To whom will she be bred?

Giants Causeway and AP INDY would be the first two guesses

I can think of a few people on various boards who would probably volunteer for free.

Wouldn't it benefit the Moss's to give her to one of their own stallions? Are there any others besides Giacomo?

Tiago starts his studly duties this season as well. Both stand at Adena- not sure of the ownership ratio with Stronach though.

Isn't she way too valuable to breed to an unknown producer even if he is owned by the Mosses? Would they actually do that?

Unproven producer is probably a better way of saying it.

An Indian Charlie - Zenyatta foal has a True Nicks rating of A.

A variant of 3.59

And the best horses bred on this cross are, according to the True Nicks report I'm reading:

1. Pampered Princess (G1) (Indian Charlie/Crafty Prospector)

2. Fleet Indian (G1) (Indian Charlie/Afleet)

3. Indian Blessing (G1) (Indian Charlie/Flying Chevron)

4. Two Trail Sioux (G2) (Indian Charlie/Quiet American)

5. Indyanne (G3) (Indian Charlie/Silver Ghost)

I'm assuming Zenyatta fits this profile because of her Mr P. on the damside, like all of the above.

No idea what the variant means, but hey, that's some pretty good company there.

Interestingly, the IC to Rachel Alexandra comes up with an A++ variant 61.77

Seems like a no brainer for both of these mares' mating choice.

Must be for the 5 people left in Cali who have yet to lay their eyes upon her.

With so many of the "high-end" stallions from the Mr. Prospector line, you'd have to think AP Indy, who produced Test and Gazelle winner Flashing out of a Machiavellian mare and has shown a pretty good affinity for mares from the Mr. Prospector line (for example, 17% SW from both Mr. Prospector and Seeking the Gold mares, from a pretty large sampling).
