I really wish they'd throw some Mr.Prospector her way. Or if they are insistent on breeding her over there.... some SPEED.
Speightstown gives you inbreeding to Secretariat, Distorted Humor is another with some speed.
I know they know what they are doing, but so far she has been a bust.

Exactly. Time to change it up?
They are trying to make a "sire". I know they have a lot of love for Galileo (who doesn't), but if it's not working, try something new!

Maybe the good producer genes skipped a generation. She'll be a bust as a broodmare, but her daughters won't.

I think she would cross well with a speedier stallion. Oasis Dream or Invincible Spirit come to mind. Cape Cross might do well with her as well. Or just send her to Frankel!

You might be right there. That seems to happen often.
