Oh Susanna....breeding can be a long game.....

Bold Ruler?

Yes following all the runners of Noble Tune with interest but expecting or lets say hoping 3 yr olds over a mile to perform well

Bottom line this breeding story is a long and expensive story ........

.....yet loading up with too much MrP wont get them beyond 6 furlongs.....yet get him to the A P Indy's and they stay all day....

.....as far as the imported mare/foal packages go.....if these horses are really for sale....it is not likely that any of them will go for under a million....the less performed mares are with Camelot/Frankel foals at foot....and have Trippi or Dynasty in the belly....some of these dams may even be the mothers of a future sire/s.... :whistle:....these will go for half of what one would pay at Tattersalls ..... but be ready to fork out a good few ZAR BAR to secure an opportunity of a lifetime....

noble tune is already a double mr p storm cat so br api only option. well best option

.....in USA plenty fair sorts inbred to multiples of Mr P but then plenty BR present like with Tapit offspring with the BR through API....

.....Crusade has his 1st listed stakes winner....Covered in Snow wins Swallow Stakes....and like Noble Tune..... when they find the right mares they will be better than average.....

......bump for Warren...

.....although the internationals saw that the sale of yearlings was solid.....the future looks bleaker as these foal mare bundles which represent a look into the future the prices were really poor....

Muhts do you think Oh Susanna can win the Met?

....why not...no one here made any bones about the fact that she was only a one time maiden winner...slung into a Grade 1 packed with top fillies and mares....and she cruised in after many had some nice tom on her....the Snaiths were bullish enough to supplement her into the Met on that performance and they have said that being by Street Cry she could be another super filly like that of Street Cry's other exceptional female progeny Zenyatta and now Winx....she has cracked better draw than most of Snaiths other runners...and even though she is under sufferance with the older horses.... she may just be better than rated and definitely on the improve and looking for more ground....the Met is a tough race as far as muddling pace...and with several runners the Snaiths could have a plan...I will float her in some exotics as the race is again primed for a surprise....I have only ever backed one winner of this race on the nose....River Jetez and only because I believe that conditions favour the fairer sex....but for me this year I'm going wide ....but will be shouting her home....because we want history to be made by the 2 time winner a 3 year old filly....

Im with you here. I already have some doubles onto her for the Met.....some with Fiorella from the other day.
