I would have to think Curlin would be a longshot for personal reasons not to mention he is completely unproven.

If I was asked to choose a mating for her I would choose Medaglia D'oro . The foal would represent a complete outcross and MDO has had tremendous success when crossed with Mr P line mares, including Rachael Alexandra and Warriors Reward. He would also bring speed to the equation.
I would imagine being at Lanes End, she's going to a stallion there.

I don't see her going to MDO, because they are petty and probably would not send Z to the sire of Rachel Alexandra.

Her nick with Indian Charlie is quite excellent!

AP Indy it will be.

I forgot he moved there. Not a bad choice, but I doubt they'd slum down that low.

We should have a contest.

AP Indy must be what, 2-1?
Smart Strike, 5-1?

In any case my guess is Candy Ride. He's got to be about 9-1. That's who I'm going with.

Steve do the winners get a DT t-shirt?

The beauty of Lane's End is there are plenty of choices. I'll take Lemon Drop Kid at 30-1.

After the AP Indy - Balance colt topped the Keeneland sale for $4.2 million, you'd have to think AP Indy would be the likely choice.

She will probably get the shaft, as in Mineshaft

Of those 3 I would make AP Indy 3/5
Smart Strike 20-1
Candy Ride 50-1

I doubt that being at Lane's End means anything except the Mosses keep their mares there.

Indian Charlie (the horse) would actually be a good choice too.

I didn't realize they routinely boarded there.

IC would make a good choice for just about any mare

I really hope they send her to IC. Not for the reason you think too.

Can you imagine the conflict Smoothie will have when he sees an IC - Z 3yo running?

I honestly have no idea where they board but it would be unusual to send a mare to the stallions farm this early unless they boarded their mares there. She wont be bred for 3 months from now.

I think an IC-Zenyatta foal would be interesting and surely would bug the hell out of Smoothcrotch

Sherriffs has it all set up for her to go to After Market.

Maybe they could go to City Zip next year and let Linda Rice train the foal.

I thought about that too. That would be somethin.

I don't think I've ever seen a Moss homebred by an expensive stallion, so who knows!
