Horse Name: In Front
Offspring:
Y16 Zinfandel, out of Mizadori
Y16 Figurati, out of Cute Italian
Why your horse should win: Although, In Front is a new sire with only one foal planned in Y16, he comes from a barn that produces proven sires. He has the pedigree of a horse that will be a future dominant in the breeding shed being sired by Touch Up and out of the Breeding Hall Of Famer Flight of Fancy.


He is the only male son of Touch Up. Touch Up has produced the likes of G1 winning mares Winning Touch, Fiery Touch and Calamity Queen. Touch Up is also a proven grandsire through his daughter The Devil's Touch whom has produced three back to back to back Breeders' Cup Juvenile race winning horses, a Belmont Turf Classic and Preakness Stakes winner.

Being a son of Flight Of Fancy is a giveaway for future top sire. The gray broodmare has produced five grade one winners and two very impressive sprinting types.

It is likely that In Front will be a sire to take over the shoes of his father.

Horse Name: Mourning Passion
Offspring:
Y16 Mournful Malister, out of Maliah

Why your horse should win: Even on his own merits, Mourn has every chance of being a phenominal sire. At 7-10 furlongs, he proved he was capable of running at the highest level at both extremes of his distance - he took the 10f Kentucky Derby (Triple Crown) as well as the 7f Speedway Stakes (Triple Sprinter Crown). This versatility opens a huge number of doors for his offspring and ability as a sire.

However, Mourn doesn't simply have his own record to stand on. He has the pedigree to back it as well. A son of Breeding Hall of Famer Requiem, Mourning Passion is the only grade one son and the only classic-winning son of Requiem to stand stud. On the top side of his pedigree is Tempered Passion, also the sire of very strong grade three Passionate God. Through his sire Mourn is also related to grade one Furious Passion, a Triple Crown winner as well as four-time earner of end-of-year awards, including Y10 Colt of the Year.

He has everything he needs to be the hottest freshman sire out there.

Horse Name: Anodyne
Offspring: Straton & Head Trip
Why your horse should win: His first two foals are out of highly competitive and attractive mares. This CTC champ isn't going to be changing his tune of success just because he's in retirement. Both of his foals are full of promise and we're high on this stallion's duality to throw foals capable of running any surface for the distance type races. Maybe one day we'll see him sire a CTC winner....
