Looking for VS TM stallions

[Gwen Morse]

Please post in this thread if you have (or know of) a very sound Turf Miler stallion. They don't have to be elite stallions but being able to throw the occasional stakes contender would be nice .

[Diane Townsend]

Not mine but Beau, Regal Maverick and Nightwatch must be very sound as I have very sound progeny from them

fwiw my Weirdo is slightly unsound.

Only Kokoro and Starboy are very sound.

Beau is “sound”

Just for the record, Nightwatch is Somewhat Unsound.

I have Alan A Dale (he is young though, so no runners yet) but he is very sound

Thanks for the clarification on this.

thats odd I must have misunderstood it, I thought you could only get very sound foals if both parents were very sound?

Soundness occurs within the range of the parents. So if both are very sound, you only get very sound foals. If one is very sound and the other is very unsound, you can get any level of soundness (as I understand it but I'm frequently wrong lol).

I could also be wrong but I thought it was you get one of the parents soundnesses, not the range. So if one was very sound and the other very unsound you would get one of those, but never sound.

Here I thought soundness was just random

Per the help section:

Breeding for Soundness
When foals are born, it can inherit the trait of either parent. Thus, if you breed a mare that was very sound to a very unsound stallion, you can get anything on the spectrum. But if your very sound mare goes to a very sound stallion, your foal can only be very sound.

Well that FAQ explains how one person could think a foal gets the soundness of either parent and another person thinks they get anything on the range. Though I did go and look at some horses where I knew both parents soundness and found a sound foal from a somewhat unsound mom and very sound dad so it does appear to be the range not just either parent.
