Magic, a son of A.P. Indy now standing at Arrowpoint Stud in South Africa. He is out of the graded stakes Storm Cat mare and thus bred along similar lines of the G1 producing sire Indigo Shiner. Sons of A.P. Indy out of Northern Dancer line mares will find great acceptance in the broodmare band of many breeders who are concerned about the negative aspects of introducing Mr.P too close up in the pedigree of the offspring. Some breeders will breed some of their mares to the Northern Hemisphere season with a view of campaigning them in Dubai and the USA. &nbsp;We must give credit to the Old Man, A.P Indy is king of the hill and the undisputed top sires of sires, his sons are producing winners at the highest levels. </p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=172379" width="1" height="1">http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/truenicks/archive/2011/04/10/dialing-a-direct-line-to-the-derby.aspx#171587Sun, 10 Apr 2011 15:28:13 GMTb1464f20-99eb-45e5-b651-41da03ecff36:171587buzzwalter<p>this is for all those folks that saiD this was a super group of 3 year olDs. i can toot my horn . &nbsp;i tolD you so. this group is just like many years past average at best. i want a triple crown winner as baD as anyboDy but here we go again we will have to wait another year to bring back our hope package from the attic. lets just hope we have some great races in the crown.</p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=171587" width="1" height="1">
