BC Sire Outlook: Ladies Classic

Welcome to the very popular Sire Outlook posts! As I said on Sunday, the charts that I do for the the races the next few weeks will be for the Classic, Ladies Classic and the 2 Juvenile dirt distance races. Please note that not all of these horses will end up going to the race which is being profiled. Some may end up on turf and some may end up not going to the BC at all. However, all of these horses where listed on Horse Racing Nation's Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic potential field. For that reason they are included into the chart. There are a few horses posted that share a sire, what I will do is say See Horse's Name, that way there are no repeats. When Dam Outlook posts for all four races which will be out next week, that won't be an issue as they will have different dams.  So enjoy!

As a big fan of Mom's Command's lone stakes winner Jonesboro, this makes me quite sad. RIP Mr. Fuller.

Derby Sire Outlook

Hard to believe that we are only two weeks away from the Kentucky Derby! Today's post is all about the sires of the horses who will be going into this year's mile and quarter race. I've put together a little table so you can see side by side by side whose sires did well at longer distances and whose sire's didn't. I've also included the sire's of horses who at this time of writing have not made a decision on weather they are going or not and/or are not in the race quite yet. Sire's listed are not in alphabetical order, they are in the order that I had thought of them to put in this list. (Note: the horses listed are the top 22 horses in Graded Stakes Earnings)

Sire (The Sire's Sire) Horses by This Sire Comments About the Sire
Tapit (Pulpit) Hansen Won the Laurel Futurity and Wood Memorial. Finished 9th in the 2004 Derby in the mud and then 9th in the PA Derby. As a sire, he has 2 Two Year Old Champions, Stardom Bound and his rep in this year's Derby. Another one of his successful foals is G1 placed Trappe Shot.
Scat Daddy (Johannesburg) Daddy Long Legs, Daddy Nose Best The Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby winner. Finished a dismal 18th in the 2007 Derby and never ran again. As a sire, he's off to amazing start. His two reps are tied for the most reps for a sire in this year's Derby, the former is a G2 winner, the latter is a G3 winner.
Dixie Union (Dixieland Band) Union Rags Norfolk and Haskell winner. Didn't participate in the Triple Crown, but finished 4th in the 2000 Travers. Among his top horses are G1 winners Dixie Chatter, Hot Dixie Chick, and G2 winner Justwhistledixie.
A.P. Indy
(Seattle Slew)
Take Charge Indy One of two Belmont winning sires possible for the Derby this year. Won the 1992 Belmont and Breeders' Cup Classic to become Horse of the Year. His sire Seattle Slew is the only undefeated winner of the Triple Crown. Indy is the sire of many great horses such as Preakness winner Bernardini (who will also be repasented in this year's Derby by Alpha), and Belmont winner Rags to Riches (the first filly to win the Belmont in over 100 years). He is the broodmare sire of Derby runner up Bluegrass Cat (who will be repped by Sabercat).
Flower Alley
(Distorted Humor)
I'll Have Another While he could only finish 9th in the 2004 Kentucky Derby, Flower Alley won the Travers that summer at the same distance as the Derby. He would go onto finish 2nd behind Saint Liam. It wasn't enough to get 3yo Champion Male honors though as Afleet Alex had done enough to win the Eclipse. His rep in this year's Derby is one of 2 G1 winners he has, the other is Ashland winner Lilacs and Lace.
Bluegrass Cat
(Storm Cat)
Sabercat Nashua and Remsen winner at 2. 2006 Derby Travers and Belmont runner up also won the Haskell at 3. His top horse is G2 winner Kathmanblu. He hails from the same female family as 2010 Derby winner Super Saver.

Even the Score
(Unbridled's Song)

Edit: I had Went the Day well down as being by Hat Trick (JPN) (Sunday Silence), he's actually by Proud Citizen. Liason was orginally listed being by Lawyer Ron (Langfur) he is actually by Indian Charlie. Sedgefield was 5th not 4th in the 2007 Derby. Isn't He Clever (Smarty Jones) has been removed from Derby consideration. Hero of Order (Sharp Humor) will be added shortly.

I will be doing an Oaks one that will be up tomorrow.
