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?!?

OK, I'll bite Scot! Allow me to throw my 3 mares into the ring.

Brushed Bayou (maybe the last stakes winning filly by Broad Brush). She is in foal (first foal) to Unbridled's Song.

Staria (Unbridled's Song mare) in foal to RAHY (hoping for a filly!) and

Perfectly Natural - newly retired.

They are mine, and any ideas appreciated!

Scot's reply: I've posted a few notes about your mares and a couple of other readers' horses. Thanks for the suggestion.

I came across an interesting pedigree. I'm in no way affiliated with the people who have the mare. I received a starquine email and this mare was listed. I liked her body type (stayer) and looked her up.

Lily Martini (Mr. Jolie - Snow Colony, by Pleasant Colony) is a pretty, dark brown mare that appears stamina oriented. She earned $36K in 10 starts, finishing out of the money once. She has a 2008 filly by her side (by Greatness) and is in foal to Proud Accolade for 2009.

Her sire, Mr. Jolie, is direct tail line to Man O'War. Man O'War appears again as a sex-crossed balance through In Reality, and he also shows up through Lily Martini's second dam sire, Hoist The Flag. She has inbreeding top and bottom to Hyperion through Alibhai and bottom inbreeding to Ribot. Her fourth dam is Blue Hen Victorinna (great grand dam of Deputy Minister) and fifth dam is also a blue hen. She is an outcross for practically every popular sire line, including Northern Dancer (however, Nearctic is her third dam sire), Mr. Prospector, Seattle Slew, Storm Bird, Damascus, etc.

I'd love to see her bred to Tiznow, duplicating the In Reality cross.

Scot's reply: Lily Martini (pedigree) actually raced 24 times and was in the money 10 of them -- there's some durability here! She is a 3-time winner of $36,425 and is half-sister to an amazing 10 other winners, including a grade III-winning half-brother. As Laura mentions, this is the family 10-c line that also produced Deputy Minister, and in fact Lily Martini's third dam is bred on the same Nearctic/Victoriana cross as the great sire. Might consider sending her to one of his sons. The TrueNicks cross with Open Forum (SRO) is interesting (you can run the report free from his page on the Stallion Register Online).

Might I suggest you allow readers to submit their mares, and you pick one winner a week to do a complete analysis? That might be cool.

Scot's response: Please do offer suggestions -- and if you have a connection to the mare, even better!
