The Montbrooks are unstoppable... Shadowbdancing won the 9f Cornhusker Handicap (gr. II).

judge angelucci,

I'd say that Buckaroo is a different type of influence than Buckpasser. Buckpasser won top class stakes from 5.5f to 2 miles. He was a freak. Buckaroo was a more of an 8-9f horse and gives more speed in a pedigree.

Montbrook was a sprinter, and most of his runners are sprint-oriented, but he can get a variety of types depending on the mare.

Amen Hallelujah's dam was MSW at 8-9 furlongs, including the Calder Oaks. AH seems like a miler picking up this influence from her dam.

Outofthebox won the Super Derby (gr. I) at 10f, defeating E Dubai, and 2nd in the Florida Derby (gr. I) at 9f, to Monarchos. Outofthebox's dam is a half sister to a MG1SW at 9f, so must have picked up some of this staying ability.

Trust N Luck was speedy, yes, but won 3 stakes at 8.5f, including the Fountain of Youth (gr. I). His dam is by Dahar, a 9-12f turf horse out of the great Dahlia, who would stay 12+ furlongs all day.

As for Pure Precision, he seemed to take after his dam who had lots of speed, but he is still able to sire Tight Precision - a 9f turf SW. Checking out her female family, it's full of turf milers. Tight Precision is a half sister to Therecomesatiger, a MSW at 8-9f on turf. Plus, deeper in the family is Hasten to Add, who won the 14f Ebor Handicap at York and the 12f Laurel Turf Cup (gr. III).

For a stallion tracing to Buckpasser is it strange Montbrook sons are basically always sprinters? Pure Precision, Thunderello, Trust 'n Luck, Chapel Royale -all sprinters for the most part.

The nice filly Amen Halelujah seems to have greater stamina.
