another stallion to consider is Empire Maker. So far, it appears that he has sired some nice fillies; but with Pioneerof the Nile and everyone's "under the radar" horse, Imperial Council, it looks like he may be stepping out to the plate. It would be interesting to see how it all plays out

When you reflect back and review the sons of "Mineshaft" in 08 and the pedigree & production he brought to the table with colts like "Casino Drive" from just two crops, anyone with a handle on classic producing sire lines will realize that Mineshaft is just beginning. With several really nice colts in the wings I wouldn't be at all surprised to see several of his sons setting their sights on the first weekend in May. One thing for sure his progeny like fine wine will improve significantly with age and two turns.

Jumpstart's second Dam is a full sister to Miswaki which helps explain how he has been doing it.

I really think that Jump Start and Pure Prize have what it takes to make it as successful sires. Genereally at this point in a stallion's career, the crop is dwindled down to 2-3 stallions that you can still use. This crop is so unique because there are multiple stallions that can be used at different levels. Jump Start hasn't even been given a fair chance according to his numbers but he has really improved all of his mares. Pure Prize is royally bred but his conformation is about as bad as it can get, yet he doesn't throw that to his foals. I look for big things in the next 2 years as the market is just starting to pick up on the fact that they are serious stallions of the future.

Jump Start will keep throwing winners.

Jump Start could be emerging. If you want to see the potential: check out the Ron Ellis trained, Rail Trip. We could see this lightly raced winner again!

Too bad about Chester House...his stats and %'s were excellent.

Mizzen Mast is of interest as he's a proper out-cross for ND & Mr.P line mares. With the added help he's always going to be given by Juddmonte he could strike it big in the next few seasons. Furthermore, the Caro line always seems to be just about on the way out and then something pulls it back from obscurity. Mizzen Mast was a really top class horse but he needed fast ground and that's why the advent of synthetic surfaces is an added plus for him.

Jump Start is also noteworthy because he broke down during the BC Juvenile & they were fortunate to save him as a stallion. I'm glad he is doing well & contributing to A.P. Indy's success as a sire of sires.
