Sten Rino Haakonsen,
My breeding advice for: Give Her My Best (CA)
First, let me say that I haven't bred a lot of foals in my short time playing the SIM, so take my advice for what it's worth. But in the interest of this contest and to give some ideas you may not have thought of, here's my 2 cents.
Give Her My Best (CA) is by Famousaer (CA) and out of Tactical Regard (CAN)
Famousaer's (CA) best progeny is Give Her My Best (CA), so when considering broodmare lines other than Tactical Regard (CAN) there's nothing to go by for him. But he is from the sire line of Star Signs (JPN), this becomes something of note when you look at the best progeny by Tactical Regard (CAN) and the sire lines of those progeny.
Tactical Regard's (CAN) best progeny are:
1. Send Your Regards (CA) by Old Dan (MN) - Earnings: $2,526,000
2. Make My Own Path (GBR) by Make My Own Luck (GBR) - Earnings: $1,398,500
3. Change of Tactics (KY) by Final Fantasy (MN) - Earnings: $1,045,500
4. Give Her My Best (CA)
5. Make a Man (ID) by Rilian (IRE) - Earnings: $960,500 (Still Racing)
If you look at the sire lines & the broodmare sires of the stallions of Tactical Regard's (CAN) best progeny above you'll notice some commonalities. There are 4 sires that keep coming up in the pedigree of stallions that sired Tactical Regard's (CAN) best progeny. Those sires are:
1. Panda (NY) who is the Grand Sire to both Old Dan (MN) & Final Fantasy (MN).
2. Florida Keys (NY) who is the Broodmare Sire to both Old Dan (MN) & Final Fantasy (MN).
3. Star Signs (JPN) who is the Grand Sire to both Famousaer (CA) & Make My Own Luck (GBR), he is also the Broodmare Sire of Rilian (IRE).
4. Frankel (KY) - GPS - who is the Sire of Rilian (IRE) & the Broodmare Sire of Make My Own Luck (GBR).
My Advice
1. I would Hypo-Mate Give Her My Best (CA) to Old Dan (MN), Make My Own Luck (GBR), & Final Fantasy (MN) to see what nick ratings she gets with them and use the best one for a colt first, filly second. Why colt first? Because the best progeny out of Tactical Regard (CAN) by those stallions where males.
2. I would try and find stallions who has Panda (NY) as a Grand Sire & Florida Keys (NY) as a Broodmare Sire and nick them to Give Her My Best (CA). If you can't find that exact pedigree in other stallions just try to find Florida Keys (NY) as the Broodmare Sire and Panda (NY) in the Sire line.
3. Look for stallions who have either Star Signs (JPN) or Frankel (KY) as a Broodmare Sire and the other on the stallions Sireside, meaning as a Sire, Grand Sire, etc.
4. Hypo-Mate Frankel (KY) to Give Her My Best (CA) and see with nick rating you get, maybe it will be good enough to try.
These suggestions is the best advice I could come up with. Good luck.
