there is a lot to like about this mare - young, had a lot of starts, was competitive (even tho no stakes money), first foal by a hot sire that's producing nice race horses..... I'm not familiar with the covering sire, Put It Back, so I looked him up on the bloodhorse stallion page. The auction results do not show Lisa the Great, although they do show a mare that sold after her. I'm wondering if she slipped this foal and went thru the sale barren?? does anyone know? That would certainly explain the low price.

To be commercial in the long run, this mare needs for her dam, Reach, to produce some black type, or the Exchange Rate weanling to race well. She's a mare that seems worth the risk (of course we don't know what she looks like). The weanling brought $24K so it must have looked the part.

Someone got a bargain! Lisa the Great sold Oct. 6 for only $5,500 -- less than the stud fee of the covering sire.

The decision really depends on your plans as to wheather you wish to sell the offspring of this mare or you are building your future broodmare band through her.

For the second option- I would find SOUND, well confirmed stallions from the very lines( Prospector, Northern Dancer , seatle slew) that will produce in-breeding and hope you get lots of fillies. There you got your broodmares. If you have done your home work- you have also achieved in breeding to 1/2 brothers and 1/2 sisters to the dams of these great stallions.

I like the Peace Rules idea. Unusual in that his female side brings 'old' foundation lines forward through so few generations that complement/duplicate this mare.

Can we take her over seas for Swain? My other choice would be War Pass.

Candy Ride, though his stud fee is probably going up. Brings in Blushing Groom, Lyphard, through Invasor's sire (Candy Ride's grandsire) Candy Stripes...great family to bring in with this mares pedigree.

Scot you commented on Andover Way before and mentioned Offlee Wild as a good cross for Dynaformer mares. I think Offlee Wild would be good for this mare too. You would get Seattle Slew and Andover Way both 3x4 plus inbreeding to Nearctic BUT you would avoid doubling up on either Northern Dancer or Mr. Prospector. For 10 grand, he's a pretty good deal too.

How about first year stallion Adriano? He'd be my pick.

Lido Palace or Peace Rules might be an option.
