Famous Stallions for 2024?

Breeding
1

It’s still early, but do you have any suggestions? Of horses I mentioned in the “famous races” posts, I know that City of Light has entered stud, and he doesn’t seem too related to horses in the game. He won the Pegasus World Cup, and Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.

He’s by Quality Road, out of Paris Notion by Dehere. And he’s 4x5 inbred to Secretariat, Northern Dancer, and Somethingroyal (a Reine-de-Course mare), and 5x5 to Raise a Native.

By the way, will our Pegasus World Cup winner, NCh. Fool To Be Smokin’, also retire to stud? He seems qualified, @Starfish ?

No RL suggestions from me, I’m quite happy with our current crew! But looking forward to the usual voting.

Disco Partner ( Disco Rico x Lulu’s Number / Numerous) will retire to stud in 2020.

In light of one recent retiree, I will nominate:

Thunder Snow - Darley page / Pedigree
24 Starts: 8 - 7 - 4 - 1, £12,671,628
Two-time Dubai World Cup winner
Champion two-year-old in France
Champion dirt miler in UAE as a 3yo
Champion older horse in UAE as a 4yo

Closest FF relatives are Danzig, Northern Dancer, and Mr. Prospector all in the 5th generation (so even in a hypo mating they wouldn’t appear).

I’d quite like to have Thunder Snow as an option.

I’ve not heard of Disco Partner but he looks lovely in his photos.
