Cheering For Lane’s End Farm

I found that a good way to learn about soccer (a sport I knew nothing about), was to pick a team (I chose Liverpool) and cheer for them.

I am now officially a Lane’s End Farm supporter, and therefore against those evil guys from Winstar, Claiborne, and all the other stud farms.

Let’s build a group of horses by Lane’s End sires to follow:

  1. Ganadora – f – Quality Road by Ghostzapper – $1,000,000 – Donato Lanni – the most expensive QR
  2. Blackadder – c – Quality Road by Pulpit – $620,000 – Lanni/Starlight – my favorite expensive QR colt
  3. Glider – c – Quality Road by Lemon Drop Kid – $200,000 – DJ Stable – maybe my favorite yearling, add Pleasant Colony as the second dam
  4. Candy Cool – c – Candy Ride by Dixie Union – $575,000 – West Point – the magic of Dixieland Band mares
  5. Egomania – c – Candy Ride by Street Sense – $200,000 – McElroy – let’s try a more bargain priced CR that adds stamina influence Street Sense
  6. Demandsrespect – f – Union Rags by Candy Ride – $195,000 – First Row – a combination of two LE sires
  7. Ravella – f – Liam’s Map by Tomahawk (Seattle Slew) – $140,000 – Mathisen Racing – let’s add some Seattle Slew blood to LM
  8. xxxxxxx – f – Daredevil – Bluegrass Sunset by Hard Spun – $50,000 – Mongolian – a Dynaformer 2nd dam
  9. Above Suspicion – f – Honor Code – Johannesburg – $210,000 – MyRaceHorse.com – one more HC
  10. Dripping Gold – c – Lemon Drop Kid by Danzig- $80,000 – Woodford – last chance to find a LDK heir?
  11. Striking Oil – c – Mineshaft by Ghostzapper – $95,000 – L&N – not many to choose from
  12. Mrs Whistler – f – Tonalist by Candy Ride – $80,000 – MyRaceHorse.com – not many to choose from
  13. Cody’s Express – c – Mr. Speaker by Harlan’s Holiday – $50,000 – Bucci – really good mare, a great test of this sire
  14. Oakhurst – c – Mr. Speaker – $195,000 – Little Red Feather – almost bought part of this one
  15. Noble Speaker – c – Mr. Speaker by El Prado – $17,000 – Dark Hollow – the magic of El Prado and Dynaformer, what a great pedigree, I might have bought this horse last year if I had been up to speed on Mr. Speaker as a sire last September.

This will be a fun group to follow. I already have over 20 LE horses in my top 100, I am just adding these for educational purposes
