I agree with Leroidesanimeaux, the cross would double Kerali make her the largest percentage with the foal. But another idea I like is crossing the Fugue with Mizzen Mast. No. Dancer would be the foal's largest percentage but it doubles Flower Bowl, Ribot & Tom Fool too.

Redwood(GB)gets A

How about the old timer:

Bosporus(IRE)...Him and The Fugue get a solid A++ with a huge variant of 52.87!

Medaglia D'Oro, Kittens Joy, Quality Road, Einstein, Union Rags are very interesting options. The last named bringing more Hyperion blood into the mating looks like a very good idea.

I did some more thinking about The Fugue & came up with a couple more ideas. Worth considering - Stormy Atlantic, Camelot (now retired), Lemon Drop Kid, a good son of Kingmambo, or the Queen's new stallion? I think, tho', that #1 should be Kitten's Joy.

Why not try a versatile stallion like Tapit? I also like the idea of Giant's Causeway. Are there any German or South African studs who might fill the bill?

One to consider would be DALAKHANI

Why do we feel that Bernadini is such a good sire?? He has had the highest index mares available to any stallion. He has not yet proved to me to be in the same class as a stalion as Smart Strike, Kittens Joy, Tapit, Tiznow, Malibu Moon, Street Cry and War Front.

We keep mentioning him and what has he produce so far after having the highest quality mares available in N.A.?

She can be mated to Dubawi, he is the second best sire presently in Europe.

Shamardal, anyone?

Deep Impact, Acclamation, Dalakhani, Street Cry. I think she's a tough mare to mate. In general, it's tougher today to feel good about a mating.

Go with what works. Her dam had a G1-winning half-brother by Inchinor, so that stallion or another closely related to him would be my choice. I see Inchinor died in 2003. nuts. His son Notnowcato was a class runner who has not been a success at stud generally, but might work well with this mare. I remember him - how he hated the straight 10f at Newmarket and how I cashed in on that insight. Foal would be an outcross to the fourth generation; Northern Dancer 5x5x4 thereafter and more farther back, but that is background noise today.

What about Leroidesanimeaux? Moving to UK this year, and hails from the family of Dansili while being something (not completely) of an outcross on top.

Smart Strike or Elusive Quality both Mr Prospectors or his grandson Street Cry for north American stallions. Encosta de Lago (while only a C+ on true nicks has several g1 &g2 wnrs).

Ginny,

We only looked at European and North American stallions, but Deep Impact would certainly be intriguing.

Tiznow and Bernardini are both very good sires, but they're mainly dirt sires. I'd expect The Fugue will go to a stallion shifted more toward turf.

Ginny — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 18:46:29 GMT

How about a nice cross for The Fugue with Tiznow, Bernardini, or Send to Japan to Deep Impact?
