Curlin/Rachel Alexandra

federico tesio said breed the best to the best, and then hope for the best. there's no telling what rachel will produce, or any horse will produce for that matter. it's a crap shoot. i remember that genuine risk was bred to secretariat, everyone was excited about two derby winners producing a foal. it didn't end well, with the foal stillborn. and of course genuine risk ended up star-crossed as a broodmare, producing only two foals.

the thing is, i think it's a shame that we have so few horses sticking around racing that some are reduced to cheering on the breeding process.

Genuine Reward was one of Genuine Risk foals, never made it to the track and if he did, Bill Mott was to train him. Heard he's standing stud in Wyoming.

Seattle Dancer- half to Seattle Slew(Nijinsky II) went for 13.1 million as a yearling. Made something like 100k on the track...never produced

Personally I'm really surprised no one has mentioned the what if as in what if these two race against the Sea the Stars / Zarkava baby.

As an aside, the first "See Rachel" day...
