The cross of Fappiano with Blushing Groom (FR) has several impressive winners -- and the reverse cross appears to be a promising nick as well.

I think a number of factors are at work. 1) Breeders honing in on what has been working (although some of the recent nice horses are out of very good mares who present different crosses to those that worked initially), which brings us to 2) he's now getting some very high-class mares, and 3) trainers are probably beginning to realize that although the Unbridled's Songs can be very precocious, they might be better given a little time - something that could go hand in hand with being bred to a more classic type mare.

could you enlighten me as to why it seems that a good stud is suddenly becoming a great stud. Unbridled's Song was already among the top stallions in the country; now all of a sudden, it appears that almost all of the top prospects for the Derby seem to all been sired by him. I understand that breeders are constantly trying new things to better the mix-it seems that they have figured it out as regards unbridled's song
