Re: PACER STALLYS
I do not own any pacer stallions mysel but I thought I would offer some insights nonetheless no matte how sightful they might be
yeah the top 3 stallions are ll bred out but that dont mean they wont get more spots opened before the end
and out of the top 3 stalliions only 2 of them would I go or anyways
Catalyst is great and also the sire of my only freak pacer a 2 year old so far undefeated little filly
Demons I have not gotten a superstar frrom him yet but I loe him nonetheless forr that price you cannot miss with him
Scary Edgar people will probably slaughter me for saying this but I am not a fan
yes I know he is a freak producing machine and all that but there are plenty o others that have equal or better stats that doesnt cost as much as a top bred tb stallion
for the ones who still have spots have a look at Red Hot Pace, always B Lucky, Cashormiki and Highland Billy all hae great stats and are cheaper options than the top sires

Re: PACER STALLYS
I have a couple of horses that am thinking of retiring that are still classed as late bloomers.www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=1157999 is one Am guessing most pacers racing of a age are Big Horses to race against.

Re: PACER STALLYS
okay for me I hardly ever retire a horse before they turn 4 unless they have really nice pedigree and suck so bad at raccing I have to throw them in a claimer if I want to keep running them
the second thing is if my filly is constantly winning or being on the board in stakes races I also might keep them running past 4
your horse is 3 and still winning stakes races and that is not even counting that she is a late bloomer
take all that into consideration and I would definitely keep her running for at least one more season but that ofcourse is just my opinion
And dont get me wrrong Scary edgar is an amazing sire and I would absolutely use him a lot if he was a little bit cheaper

Re: PACER STALLYS
She may not be a late bloomer anymore, having not been galloped since last year. If she still is, you'd be nuts to retire her before she reaches her best. If she's at her peak, she's still worth keeping in training since she's clearly stakes class.The Harlequins wrote: ↑3 years ago I have a couple of horses that am thinking of retiring that are still classed as late bloomers.www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=1157999 is one Am guessing most pacers racing of a age are Big Horses to race against.
I have a hard time lining up the pacing stallions, mainly because I haven't done enough nicking to put them into tiers like I have with trotters. Cashformiki and Highland Billy look to have similar ability as sires for example, yet I have Highland Billy as either Tier 1 (with Catalyst and Scary Edgar) or at worst Tier 2 (with Always B Lucky and friends), whereas Cashformiki is Tier 3 at best (as are the Holiday stallions and Red Hot Pace, who are obviously good stallions). So I'm not sure my tiers mean anything at all.
Pacers are probably an easier division than most to breed, since there have historically been a limited number of dominant sirelines. We actually ran into problems with the breed pre-Cumberbatch, with everything either being Igetmoney over Writethisdown (and/or their sons) or vice versa. Cumberbatch came along as a clearly better stallion and an outcross, but it wasn't long before everything good was by Cumberbatch and out of an inbred Igetmoney/Writethisdown mare (similar to Arabian Routers today with The Visionary).
Cumberbatch helped a little, the Holiday Sale stallions (stallions sold in an impromptu stallion auction around Christmas one year which, depending on the division, were either clearly better than the other stallions and upset a lot of people or, in Pacers/Trotters, slotted in near the top of the stallion lists) helped more. GP stallions helped further again. But still, today you can look at the dam/granddam of your mare, identify a couple of sirelines they both worked well with, and probably find a stallion who combines those two lines. Whereas in Turf Routers for example there are squillions of lines to analyze and the ones that have worked with your mare's damline may not have stallions representing them anymore.
The majority of my 3yos are by With Heart. All of the 2yos I bred are by Demons. Most of my yearlings are by Highland Billy. So you can see where my "I don't have time for this; who's a good stallion?" approach has taken me lately. But taking the time to breed properly by really looking at your mare's damline - especially in a division where it's simpler than most and where small margins really matter - is well worth it.
