IMO, Showing Up could have been any kind.
The Jacksons will spend millions trying to breed and buy the next big thing. But the odds are they will never get another Barbaro or Showing Up. Which came along for them in the same year.

don't forget they also bred George Washington that same year... don't know how many mares they have, but that's not a bad top three.

I don't know how active they are at the sales, but I don't believe they've spent a ton of money on buying colts (I could be really wrong on that one..) I know they bought Precious Kitten and one or two other turf mares.

They paid 6 million for Precious Kitten. I wonder what she would have brought yesterday??

I had forget about them breeding GW. WOW what a year.
The Jacksons bought Showing Up at the sale for 60k. Great buy.
