Wild Swings

No idea is too stupid to consider. Here are a few wild ones:

  1. #555 – Wicked Strong – Holy Roller – Last year Wicked Strong produced Brooklyn Strong at the Ocala June sale. Here the 2nd dam was a graded stakes winner at 1 1/2 miles. The nick is A
  2. #229 – Flintshire – So Beautiful – Flintshire was a complete disaster, why is this horse even here?
  3. #190 – Medal Count – Sakra – Medal Count is an obscure son of Dynaformer that stands in Ohio. The mare is an Indiana turf sprinter with 65 starts to her credit. All things Dynaformer deserve at least a look. Barbaro was from a Carson City mare, here the 2nd dam is by Carson City
  4. #179 -Shamen Ghost – Repossee – Shamen Ghost is a sire that nobody else cares about.
  5. #362 – Lemon Drop Kid – Aurelia – Full brother to a very nice horse, an $80,000 yearling
  6. #195 – Lea – Sassys Dream – Lea has not been a good sire, but he was a late developer than won on dirt and turf. Here he gets a nice McPeek mare that was 2nd in the Edgewood, and has also produced a $100,000 winner. A $4,000 yearling
  7. #6 – Klimt – Infinite Hope – A Dynaformer mare
  8. #330 – Keen Ice – Spelling – The mare was 3rd in the Barbara Fritchie, and produced G2 winner, 2nd dam was a runner and producer. A $18,000 yearling. Keen Ice was a disaster at the yearling sale ($7,000 median). Not completely crazy??
  9. #490 – Frosted – Famous Alice – The only Frosted I am even remotely interested in. The other mares are very sprint oriented. Very disappointing.
  10. #435 – Cupid – Cozinetta – By far my favorite Cupid. Mare adds Cozzene and Seattle Slew. A++ nick. 4/12 foal. Worth considering. Cupid did win the Gold Cup at 10 furlongs. $20,000 yearling. This horse makes me want to rethink the Cupid that Pocket Aces bought.
