But presuming she goes to the breeding barn, how about making some suggestions on:

(a) which stallions would suit her best; and

(b) what stallions will she actually visit?

Over to you...

So close to breeding season, if I was the owner, she would be served and PTIF to IAI and put on the market. At least $2M if not more. Snitzel could be losing some gloss, even with current Sires Premiership in the pocket. What do you think?

Don't believe you'd want more Danehill close up.  Snitzel for instance gives you him 3 x 4 x 5, two of them via Redoute's Choice 2 x 4. Bit close for mine.

Am with Majestic re proven sire I Am invincible.  Mostly sprinting stock but has plenty of stakes-winners over 1400-1600m.  Pedigree match appears fine in its simplicity:

Danzig 4 x 5, 5; four lines of Star Kingdom (three via Bletchingly 4 x 5, 7 in turn via Canny Lad on two occasions 3 x 6.)

Furious might talk to the locally bred duplications and possible inheritable faults, though both sire and dam were pretty sound before McEvoy arguably pushed the mare too far. 

More later after others have had a go.

And you also suggest All Too Hard which is equally interesting as the pedigree profile that results is extremely similar to that with Sebring, except that ATH introduces more Vain.

Cheers. 

I really fancy Impending, but wouldn't go there until he'd proved himself.  No Danehill, but crosses of Encosta, Canny Lad, Mr P, Bletchingly and Vain (for those who like him as do I).  The no Danehill means that any stallion or mare that results can either host or visit any number of the multitude of horses with Danehill blood without over egging the cake.  Exactly as would be the case with my first choice I Am Invincible.  Not that all that many appear would to look a generation forward when planning matings. 

But again over to others to provide opinion, even it might be to seriously question my suggestions.    

Doesn't really matter now.  Appears I've been living in a cave and wasn't aware or couldn't remember that Sebring had passed.

You're not the only one thinking Halo, although I was thinking more a Deep Impact son than a son of Sebring or More Than Ready.

In no particular order....

Since she has two crosses to Redoute's Choice and no Sir Tristram, Dundeel or Pierro. Lonhro -- not so much, he's not likely to bring some stamina to the mating.  Thinking outside the box: Savabeel.

I Am Invincible because he upgrades pretty much every mare he sees and his dam is by Canny Lad.

Written Tycoon is interesting.  No Danzig but he does Noholme, Marscay, and Vain.  This cross would be all speed, however he's one of the best outcross stallions in Australia for Danehill.

So You Think for a cross to High Chaparral.  I like Dundeel better for a High Chap son.

One more outside the box: Ocean Park.  Although it took him a few years to hit his straps, it's notable that he produces with mares from just about any broodmare sireline.

And that's pretty much it for proven sires in her league with no Danehill.

Appears I've been living in a cave and wasn't aware or couldn't remember that Sebring had passed.

I must have been in the same cave !   That was kept very quiet I think ?  I saw nothing in the general run of things, and none of ours here posted .    Did they ??   What happened to him ?

I wasn't lookuing so deep in Sunlight's ped.

 

My suugestion would be a Sire with Machiavellian in his ped. He is from the same damline as Danehill, but via a different strain.

 

Zoustar is by "Northern Meteor", a very Close inbred sire from the Dalmary Family. On the other Hand

"Solar Charged" carries none of them, so Sires with Sadlers Wells/Nureyev/Perugine etc. comes to mind.

 

An interestiong mating would be with the promising 3 year old colt "Palm Springs" (Maxios-Panatella by Medicean) here in Germany.; because he is 3x3 Machiavellian/Coup de Genie FB/FS. I knew, it's very very hypothetical.

 

A bit of topic "Star Shower" carries the Germanbred Sire "Novalis" (from Owen Tudor).

as example "Lope de Vega" is 3x3 Machiavellian:

I'm along this line of thought also, with Impending and Pierata also at the forefront.  Ok they were both best at about 1300m, however believe the strong Lonhro/Octagonal/Zabeel strength might well come to the fore in their well matched progeny.

But reckon you could bet your last dollar that Sunlight will visit Pierro sooner rather than later.

As she is going to Coolmore there is always the chance she will also visit Pierro or So You Think sometime in the future.  While I think Snitzel is to close for the Redoute's cross.

Also I'd prefer he go to Justify (who's sire was much better) than Amerian Pharoah even though Pioneerof Tee Nile is from the sire line of Fappiano which could be interesting.  But that mating will also probably be on the cards in the future.

 i think you might be on the money there ticino with the sadler's wells - nureyev suggestions, also your machiavellian /coup de folie thoughts , let's hope that they dont waste her as happens so frequently with great racemares, and like always all most of us can do about her is drool and dream
