Re: who to breed to?
I think you have a lot of options for your mare. She is certainly an outcross for breeding to most of the popular Battle Creek Road line sires and Woodbine line sires. With High King you obviously have a combination of both through Fighting Irish (Woodbine) on the sire side and Up Around the Bend (B.C.R.) on the dam sire side. My only concern with High King is he is new and thus unproven, although he does have some fast training yearlings.
Vodka Cruiser doesn't have a lot of history of production on the dam side aside from her first dam that has produced a couple decent horses. So I guess what I'm saying is if you are looking more at the racing side I might lean towards a sire like Made of Awesome (B.C.R. line). For a new breeder he provides excellent value, hypo's well and has a high stakes percentage for a younger sire. Quarter Hog and The Iceman would be others I would consider. If you are looking toward's establishing a broodmare band I would go with Fighting Irish(Woodbine). He's an established top young sire that crosses well with the Money and Muscles on the dam side. I've had some nice results so far (2 scaries and a fast wow from 3 matings of M&M mares). I also like Greyhound's Ghost(Woodbine) as another option.
High King could be a home run but I would probably go with Made of Awesome or Fighting Irish. Good luck with your mare Joe.
