Info and input much appreciated. Any thoughts on first season sires next year?https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558377157#558377157All good calls gents.

Gungslinger7 you do need to factor in the prejudice over first foals, and maybe a hint of the once raced, once won, unsoundness questions in the minds of purchasers. Flying too high first mating might not be the sensible move.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558376427#558376427Nice call Proxy.

Then you have to take a view on precocity vs improvement 2 to 3.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558375783#558375783Think the only accessible, alive and 'proven' source of Dubawi would be Make Believe who has made an adequate start.

I really think Oasis Dream is value. Fair point regarding Time test but is too risky 3rd season and with her age/pedigree she deserves better at this mhttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558375489#558375489Thanks Proxy and formtwist.

Obviously a third-season risk but not an expensive one.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558374511#558374511If you are thinking GB not just Ireland as you originally specified, Time Test would offer you both Dubawi and Danehill through damsire Dansili.

[these and the above suggestions haven't included processing of 2019 results yet which could take months]https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558373379#558373379Would include Oasis Dream (deffo), Bated Breath and Mayson as maybes if a GB trip is under consideration.

I’d like to go Danehill or Dubawi line. The Dubawi line especially has done well. Night of thunder has done very well but I believe is on a restricted book this year after his start. Damsire not Galileo either.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558369497#558369497I’d be giving too much away proxy!!

Teo / New App. The Gurkha seems to be unpop before any runners so he might be a bargain in a year or two and is a good match with Danehill Dancer dam.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31597915/what-stallion-to-a-giants-causeway-mare?post_id=558364777#558364777Id be thinking sons of Galileo (assuming dam not) - faster the better within your budget.
