After a quick look one can say that Dancing Forever is bred well in that he is outcrossed from that Seeking The Gold line. Indeed, he is a 5 gen outcross which will most likely help his soundness. He is a future sire. Castanet is ok. There is a Northern Dancer x2 but it could be worse.

The other two are worrisome in that they are inbred to Dancinginmydreams' male line via Raise A Native, for Remember. And via Mr Prospector for Step Lively. Not a good move imo for a mare who had soundness issues.

I think she had a bad accident in a race how is that a soundness issue? It's an old story about her and that whole line of Phipps stock has been taking a long time to get to the races.. For wahtever reason the only early stars are from the Maplejinsky line and I think that was the last filly they bought from the outside.
