Are these 10 stallions the Princequillos and Deputy Ministers and Blue Larkspurs of tomorrow? A look at emerging broodmare sires.

Dam of Rags to Riches, Jazil, and Casino Drive fails to produce a foal in 2008 or 2009. Does that affect her value in the Thoroughbred sales ring?

If you want to get to the winner's circle with a racehorse that pays its own way, here's the closest thing you'll find to a sure thing. As with much in life, however, there's a catch.

Stock in ZENYATTA went soaring today while CURLIN finished out of the money for the first time in his career. Quite a Breeders' Cup -- and now all signs point to Zenyatta as 2008 Horse of the Year.

Breeding stock / mixed sales are dominated by broodmares and weanlings -- but stallions and stud prospects are another frequent offering. We'll look at a couple of this year's hips and discuss whether this is a good venue for stallion sales.

You'd think an "aunt" to Horse of the Year and ten-times millionaire Curlin would be a sure thing -- especially when she brought over $200,000 as a yearling. But concerns about her race record and four years without a foal have to be factored in to the equation.

The digital age is a grim reaper, slowly killing off printed compilations of data. Are Thoroughbred sales catalogs the next victim?

The current breeding stock sales are the end of an era for one of North America's top sires. Today we'll take a quick glance at the two Keeneland November offerings of mares in foal to Storm Cat.

Both Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton's November breeding-stock sales offer mares with connections to popular sire Tiznow.

Comment on fellow Five-Cross readers' horses -- we have a few mares and a couple of sales weanlings to look at today. Plus -- a new poll asks what are YOUR plans during the breeding stock sales?

Closely related to standout sire Giant's Causeway and to champion filly Dearly Precious, this Thoroughbred sale offering has a turf pedigree and a proven progeny record. But at her age, what is she worth in today's market?

Seven sires made the cut: they are clear leaders on the all-weather racetracks. Who made the list -- and just as important, who didn't?!?

A great excuse to talk about new sire Hard Spun -- he's the covering sire of today's broodmare pick. That mare also happens to be a half-sister to the 2008 top freshman sire. An exciting catalog page from the Keeneland November sale.

Normally, the dam of a popular graded stakes winner -- carrying her full sibling, nonetheless -- would garner only positive attention at the breeding stock sales. In the case of Eight Belles' dam, though, some of the talk is about whether the repeat mating was the best idea.

Here's a mare from the family of Slew o'Gold, with close relationships to all of today's top sire lines. So when it comes time to breed, who to send her to?
