I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on your favorite sires and what you like about them. I love the Singspiel's, More Than Ready's, End Sweep's, Hennesy's, Dynaformer's, El Prado's, War Chant**, Unusual Heat**(Nuryev), Black Minnaloushe**, Giant's Causeway**, Lemon Drop Kid** to name some. The ones with ** are newer sires that are doing excellent here in the states on turf. I don't think I've seen many if any of these in AUS. Lemon Drop Kid's are taking to the turf like gangbusters and Unusual Heat is a California stalllion who's progeny LOVE 1)wet 2)turf(Long then short) 3)Distance on dirt 4) Sprints on dirt. They simply run on anything and Unusual could have been the best of his generation if he wasn't so fragile(maybe a point to keep in mind but so far so good), somewhat like Red Ransom(I saw his last race as a 2 yo at saratoga, getting beat in the Hopeful by Summer Squall). Next year Unusual Heat becomes a Kentucky sire and will start to get more recognition (dammit) so look out for his kids in Aussie down the line.
