Who Did You Use?

Post by Gigi Gofaster »

I don't see a dedicated mixer thread for this, and as this was my first year really breeding mixers, I was curious to look at who I used. I'm interested in feedback from seasoned mixer folks as to if this looks ridiculous or not or if I'm missing something hot:

Appaloosa: Monkey Brew x 9, Alien Lasers x 7, Eyes For Gold x 2, Kissanangel x 2 and 1 each Capacity to Feel, Custom Brew, El Dorado, Rite to the Point

Arabian: 1 each Able Squire, legacy of Charly, Midnihte Sandstorm, Sleeping Dragon

Paint: Son of a paint x 9, Gray Patches x 2, Kenny x 2, Mr. Rose Thorn x 2, Regression x 2, The Full Monty x 2, 1 each Colored Spotlights, Deep Euphoria, Fire Free Sans, mark of the Beast, Meega Nala Kweesta

Quarter Horse: Ardyn x 2, Gra Go Deo x 2, Let You Shine x 2 1 each Go Away Boss, Kissanangel, Mezapita, Silver Jet Flash, The Full Monty

and I'm not racing trotters anymore but I threw a lot (18) at Devon castle in his last 72 hours, and bred 4 others. All those will be for sale next year after gallops (or now if anyone wants to take a shot on foals).

I'm pretty new, so I decided to focus on only breeding Arabians this year. Here's mine, for a total of 31:

Arabian Sprint:
Able Squire - 2
Adel - 1
Cronos - 2
Daud - 2
Frontier Ghost - 2
Narcissistic Lad - 1
Sleeping Dragon - 9

Arabian Route:
Legacy of Charly - 5
Mighty Sandstorm - 3
Proof At Nite - 2

And then for two mares with a mixed route/sprinter pedigree, I went with Reid River R Mani. I'll have to see what those foals end up as.

Appy Sprinters: Eq Cab Etat x5, Monkey Brew x4, Custom Brew x4, Alien Lasers x2, Good Chrome Jet x2, One Holiday Jet.

The first four are IMO the top four stallions in the division. I also sent two mares to my own stallion Good Chrome Jet, and sent his dam back to his sire One Holiday Jet for a full brother.

Appy Routers: One Hot Bay x2, Capacity to Feel, Burnt Out Lights, BG Spider Monkey.

The first three are the Holiday stallions, and in this division more than some others they're as good as it gets. Plus they're all 14 this year so I may not get to send them any more mares. BG Spider Monkey is the sire of Monkey Brew, who has ability as a sire of routers even though he's from a sprinting damline. I've sent a nice blue hen hoping for a freak colt who can go on to be a better routing sire than Monkey Brew. Not asking for much, am I?

Arabian Sprinters: Cronos.

I leased out most of my Arabian mares, and the only one I didn't went to a Holiday stallion.

Paint Sprinters: Nimble Navigator x2, Regression, Colored Spotlights, Gray Patches, Mr. Rose Thorn.

I have a small but VERY high-quality collection of horses in this division. Mean is currently running around and is a multiple Gr. 1 winner. He's by Regression and out of a full-sister to my stallion Nimble Navigator (a Gr. 1 winner at 2&3), who in turn is by a multi-distance QH stallion (interesting outcross) and out of another multiple Gr. 1 winner.

A half-sister to the dam of Mean went to Mean's sire Regression. The Holiday stallions each got a mare each because that's a thing I was doing this year. Nimble Navigator got to see one of my only mares who isn't related to him... and his niece (for a colt who is inbred 1x2 to full-sibs).

QH Mids: Blast Off Dasher x2, Inspired Jet Flash, It's Cold Cash.

Four mares, all out of full-sisters, three by Mark Me Gold (now pensioned, but crossed well with Blast Off Dasher) and one by Blast Off Dasher. Two of the Mark Me Golds went to Blast Off Dasher (bonus: he's a Holiday stallion), the Blast Off Dasher went to Inspired Jet Flash (another Holiday Stallion), and the last one went to It's Cold Cash (she left a Stakes colt by him last year, so I wanted a filly on the same cross).

Pacers: Mainstream x36.

This is something I've done a few times recently: pick out a first- or second-crop stallion I like and send him two- (or in this case three-) dozen mares before anyone else spots him and his price goes through the roof. Joke Face and Demons are the two that spring to mind, though I also sent a stack of mares to (the still massively underpriced) Highland Billy in his second year.

This year Mainstream was the lucky lad. I have a future stallion of my own in 2x SC winner Rock Bottom, but I made the decision to keep him in training as a 6yo partly because he ran a 99sf in his last run before the SC this year (which probably helps explain why he only ran 5th in the big race) and partly because I'm so high on Mainstream.

Trotters: Dell Ridge Image x12, Photobomber x11, Raider x11.

Three brand-new sires I'm very excited about. King Cartier, El Capitan, and Darn Tootin are reasonably new and fighting it out to be top of the pops (I'd also mention the 14yo Tls Pegasus and the best-value sire in the division Castle Drogo as being among the best options), but these three (and maybe even Michael Corleone, who I didn't use at all but probably should have) might give them a run for their money.

Using the three newbies my average fee per foal was just under $25,000, which is around half the price of the big three.

It's interesting that damsires of all of my freaks are sons of Always B Miki, including the only two Always B Lucky mares I sent him. Always B Miki liked Holy Roller mares and Mainstream is out of a Holy Roller mare, so maybe there's something there.

That would kinda suck for me actually; I'll have Rock Bottom probably retiring this year and he has a half-sister by Always B Miki who finished top five in the SC for seven straight years. I was hoping people would see that connection and send my boy all of their mares by Always B Miki and his sons, but he might have some competition now from your boy.

I didn't get a freak from any of the five Always B Miki mares I sent though, so maybe there's hope for Rock Bottom yet.
