I would like to know what line of sires would Nick with Son of Storm Cat mare.

Byron's Reply: Dexter, thanks for posting a comment. To a certain extent the answer is going to depend on what son of Storm Cat that the mare is by. A mare by say Tabasco Cat, one of the first sons of Storm Cat to retire to stud, may have slightly different results than say a 3yo filly by Grand Reward that is coming off the track. We have data on Tabasco Cat mares which are more relevant to that calculation than a Grand Reward mare who would be calculated on the generic "mares by all sons of Storm Cat" rule.
There are a couple of things that you can do to get the answers that you seek.
1) You could order a TrueNicks Broodmare Analysis Report. This report would let you enter up to 50 stallions that you would like to see run against your mare and the report generated returns the ratings for all 50 stallions along with a new catalogue style pedigree of your mare and the 5x matings for all 50 stallions with your mare. The whole process takes about 15 minutes and you get a report of considerable utility that you keep.
2) You could go and run your mare against the stallions that have subscribed to the TrueNicks service and test a lot of different stallions against your mare. You should be able to pretty quickly work out which stallions/sirelines are working effectively and which are not
Let us know how you get on and thanks again for taking the time to post a comment.

The best broad crosses have been branches of Mr. Prospector, including Unbridled's Song, Gone West (Mr. Greeley, Grand Slam, Elusive Quality), Street Cry, Smart Strike, Seeking the Gold, Fusaichi Pegasus, Lemon Drop Kid, .

Over prominent sires who have shown some affinity for Storm Cat line mares include Tiznow, Pulpit and More Than Ready.
