Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 18, 2019 Journalists Share Posted January 18, 2019 In this series, we ask agents and others who book a lot of mares for their clients which sires might be flying slightly under the radar in this breeding season. Who might be getting overlooked in the rush for the new, hot thing? Read on. Cooper SawyerUNIFIED, Lane’s End, $10,000 A stallion that we have a lot of faith in is Unified at Lane’s End. He was super fast, got a 99 Beyer on debut, he’s a gorgeous physical, and has a monster walk. I was blown away by how much he had let down when I went to see him during the open house in November. Unified is a stallion that we used a lot last year, and we plan on supporting him again this season. He’s really fit our program, and he’s got a good group of shareholders behind him. He had a full book last year, breeding over 150 mares, so you are going to fall back on that as well. I think he would fit a commercial breeder or someone looking to race. Unified is a medium sized physical, and has Dixie Union and Carson City on the bottom side, so he fits a wide range of mares. Especially mares you might want to get a bit of speed into. Lane’s End has done a fantastic job at making stallions for a very long time now, so that’s a big plus. I think Candy Ride will go on to become a sire of sires, not too many would argue against that. Twirling Candy has done it, Gun Runner and Mastery have every chance, and Game Winner will enter stud over the next year or two at a big fee. So you’ll have all these sons of Candy Ride standing for $25,000+, and then Unified at $10,000. You would have to think Unified’s babies are going to be dynamite. I’m really looking forward to seeing them. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
