Those who have been reading articles on this blog and posts by Alan Porter and me on the PedigreeConsultants.com site will have noticed some time ago that we are big fans of the Deputy Minister stallion Dehere ( TrueNicks , SRO ) as a broodmare sire. We know we are not alone in this admiration. Dehere's first stakes winner as a broodmare sire was the 2002 foal...

Squeezed back as the field left the stalls and way off the pace early on, Mine That Bird -- under a rail-skimming ride from Calvin Borel -- ran past a rubber-legged field in the stretch to take a muddy renewal of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) by 6 3/4 lengths. The $9,500 yearling -- the least expensive in the race -- Mine That Bird was Canada...

It is quite common in Thoroughbred breeding to see the success of one sire or sire line ride off the back of the success of a nick or in particular the presence of a stallion in a genetic population. There seems to be, at least in Europe, a strong genetic tie between the former stablemates Danehill and Sadler’s Wells with the most recent example being the surprise...

The 1 3/4-mile San Juan Capistrano Invitational Handicap (gr. IIT) was once one of America’s great races, but it’s gone the way of all other American contests over a distance of ground, either shortened or downgraded. That said, it still paid out a nice $120,000 to winner Midships. He is a member of the second crop of Mizzen Mast , who is enjoying a very good...

The weekend crowned two new grade I winners among the older division. Vinery already has one promising stallion prospect in their homebred Friesan Fire, a 3-year-old son of A.P. Indy ( TrueNicks , SRO ). Now they have another in 4-year-old Kodiak Kowboy . A son of Vinery stallion Posse ( TrueNicks , SRO ) , Kodiak Kowboy was purchased by Vinery as a yearling...

Medaglia d'Oro ( TrueNicks , SRO ) is currently in command of what looks to be a promising group of second-crop sires (the leaders' list also includes Tapit ( TrueNicks , SRO ) , Candy Ride (ARG) ( TrueNicks , SRO ) , Speightstown ( TrueNicks , SRO ) , and Lion Heart ( TrueNicks , SRO ) ), and he added another stakes winner recently when She's Our Annie took...

A little while ago we gave a call to Even the Score ( TrueNicks , SRO ) , who stands this year for $7,500 at Millennium Farms in Kentucky. His first crop are 3-year-olds, and he was represented by a smart winner recently when his son Scorewithcater captured the $100,000 Borderland Derby. Rated an encouraging B+ by TrueNicks before his stakes score, Scorewithcater...

A few years ago we wrote an article about pedigree trends to come. One we suggested would be the combination of stallions bred on the Mr. Prospector/Buckpasser cross, notably Seeking the Gold, Woodman, Miswaki, and Mining. Exchange Rate ( TrueNicks , SRO ) began his career in Florida but earned a move to Three Chimneys with a relatively inexpensively-sired first...

With runners like multiple grade I winner Tale of Ekati and multiple graded stakes winner Gio Ponti carrying him to seventh on the leading sires list, Tale of the Cat ( TrueNicks , SRO ) enjoyed one of his best seasons in 2008. What might not be realized is that he is also currently a hot item Down Under. In November, his son Tell A Tale (AUS) took the CJC New...

Silver City (by Unbridled's Song ( TrueNicks , SRO ) out of a Mt. Livermore mare) recently brought the Fappiano/Blushing Groom (FR) cross into news highlights, winning the Dixieland Stakes at Oakland Park Jan. 16. The next day, things really shifted into high gear. First there was the win for The Pamplemousse (Kafwain - Comfort Zone, by Rubiano), who defeated...

One of the most interesting stakes winners last weekend was Cherry One (TrueNicks A++ ), who took the El Paso Times Handicap at Sunland Park, to remain undefeated in three starts. From the first crop of the Cherokee Run horse Sir Cherokee, Cherry One is out of the El Gran Senor mare One Accord. This is particularly interesting when one recalls that Sir Cherokee...

Question : Alan, what do you think about Sons of AP Indy to daughters of Gone West? Alan Porter's response : To date the A.P. Indy ( TrueNicks , SRO ) /Gone West nick -- and the more general Seattle Slew/Gone West nick -- has not been a very successful one. There is only one stakes winner on an A.P. Indy/Gone West from around 24 starters -- Bertsgoldenmissile...

We happened to be studying a Saint Ballado mare the other day for a client, and noticed that to date, the only two graded stakes winners out of mares by that stallion are Saint Afleet (TrueNicks A ), who took the Palos Verdes Handicap (gr. II) and this year's Futurity (gr. II) winner, Charitable Man (TrueNicks B ). The speedy Saint Afleet is a son of Northern...

Both have interesting - and somewhat related - pedigrees. Miss Challenge is out of the Polish Numbers mare Full Figure...
