If i had a season to Lemon Drop Kid, I would breed a mare with a definate turf pedigree/ability to him, preferrably from the Northern Dancer line...he has been a far better turf sire than maintrack sire (aside from Lemons Forever, which is his best runner)...Northern Dancer works very well on the bottomside for turf performers and LDK's immediate prescense of Mr. P and Seattle Slew disallow breeding back to a mare close to that lineage...Northern Dancer would be 5 generations back rom the foal, which is a nice generation distance for inbreeding...
