Which farm is not standing a son of Hard Spun at this time? Whoever has an open spot for one is who I would choose.

I wouldn't be surprised if she went to Japan. From 2008-2020, they bought 8 of 13 of the Champion 2yo fillies.

Japan knows what their doing. I wonder who would be the best cross for her over there

BaroqueAgain1 · Sat Jul 08, 2023 5:23 pm

I believe the Storm Cat line crosses well with all the Halo line stallions there.
