Stallion Analysis for Bluegrass Cat
by Alan Porter

Bluegrass Cat was a multiple graded winner at two, and a grade one winner and runner-up in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes at three. A son of Storm Cat, Bluegrass Cat is out of a multiple graded stakes producing mare, who is a sister to the dam of Kentucky Derby winner, Super Saver, and from one of the most important branches of the La Troienne line.

With his first crop only three, Bluegrass Cat is not only the Leading Second Season Sire in New York, but also a top five stallion on the general list. He's already sire of five stakes winners, two graded, and no less than 15 stakes horses.

The most prolific cross for Storm Cat has been with Mr. Prospector line mares, and from this line Bluegrass Cat has already sired stakes winner Zayda out of a mare by Unbridled, and a stakes placed horse out of a mare by Unbridled's Song ; stakes winner Sabercat out of a mare by Forty Niner ; stakes winner Zow and a stakes placed horse out of a mare by Forty Niner's son, Distorted Humor ; and stakes placed horses out of mares by Miswaki, City Zip (by Carson City ), and Artax (by Marquetry, a son of Conquistador Cielo ). Other branches of Mr. Prospector that have done well under Storm Cat are Crafty Prospector, Fappiano (through Cryptoclearance, Defensive Play, Quiet American, and Rubiano ), Mr. Greeley, Elusive Quality, Grand Slam, Proud Citizen, and Speightstown, who will give a double of Storm Cat), Gulch (and his son, Thunder Gulch ), Lycius, Machiavellian (sire of Street Cry ), Seeking the Gold (sire of Mutakddim, Petionville, and Cape Town ), Silver Ghost and Woodman (a three-parts-brother to Bluegrass Cat's granddam, Get Lucky). Not For Love is a Mr Prospector horse who is a brother to Get Lucky. Mr. Prospector is a son of Raise a Native, and Storm Cat has also crossed well with Raise a Native via Alydar (including through Alysheba, Criminal Type, Easy Goer, Saratoga Six and Turkoman ) and Exclusive Native and his son, Affirmed . It is also well worth considering the Majestic Prince branch of Raise a Native through Maria's Mon, who has been good under Storm Cat, and is sire of Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver out of a sister to the dam of Bluegrass Cat.

The cross of Storm Cat and his sons over Blushing Groom line mares has been an extremely productive one. There are Storm Cat line stakes winners out of mares descending from Blushing Groom through Rahy, Mt. Livermore, Rainbow Quest, Runaway Groom (sire of Cherokee Run ), Crystal Glitters, Blushing John and Baillamont . Blushing Groom is a Nasrullah line stallion, and Storm Cat and his sons have also done well with mares from the Caro branch of the Nasrullah line, and Bluegrass Cat is sire of graded stakes winner Blue Laser out of a mare by With Approva . This also suggests bringing in Caro through In Excess and Indian Charlie . Another branch of Nasrullah to consider is that of Naskra (particularly through Star de Naskra and Olympio ).

Storm Cat and his sons have proved to have a strong affinity for mares from the Damascus line. Storm Cat has done particularly well with Damascus via Private Account (who will give inbreeding Champion Numbered Account, the fourth dam of Bluegrass Cat, and who can be brought in through Personal Flag, Private Terms, Afternoon Deelite, and Valley Crossing ). Damascus could also be brought in through Cutlass, Desert Wine, Ogygian, and Bailjumper (sire of Skip Trial ; grandsire of Skip Away ), Time For A Change or Timeless Moment (sire of Gilded Time).

Bluegrass Cat is half-brother to multiple graded stakes winner Lord of the Game, who is by the Halo stallion, Saint Ballado (sire of Saint Liam, Yankee Victor, Captain Bodgit, Straight Man, and Sweetsouthernsaint ). Saint Ballado is a brother to Devil's Bag, who is broodmare sire of Bluegrass Cat's multiple graded stakes winner Kathmanblu, and who can be brought in through Devil His Due, Diablo, Twilight Agenda and Abaginone. Storm Cat has also done well with Halo through Southern Halo (sire of More Than Ready, who brings in Woodman, and looks interesting here). Halo is by Hail to Reason, and that horse is also worth bringing in through Stop the Music (and his sons, Cure the Blues and Temperence Hill ) and Roberto (notably through Red Ransom, Dynaformer, Lear Fan, Kris S., and Silver Hawk ). Hail to Reason 's sire, Turn-to has combined well with Storm Cat line stallions when introduced through Cox's Ridge . Bluegrass Cat is also sire of graded stakes placed Another Silver Oak out of a mare by Richter Scale (by Habitony, from the Sir Gaylord branch of Turn-to ).

Storm Cat and his sons appear to have an affinity for mares from the In Reality line, particularly through Relaunch and Valid Appeal . From the Relaunch line, particularly consider mares by Tiznow, who has already crossed well with Storm Cat.

Bluegrass Cat is out of a mare by A.P. Indy, a son of Seattle Slew . Crossing a sire over mares from his own broodmare sire line can work well and there are at least 15 stakes winners with inbreeding to Seattle Slew, where one strains is A.P. Indy . Seattle Slew might be introduced here through such as Capote (sire of Boston Harbor and Matty G, and grandsire of Mayakovsky ), Slew City Slew, Slew o' Gold, Septieme Ciel, Doneraile Court, Seattle Song, Fast Play, and Gold Legend.

In general, stallions tend not to do particularly well when bred to mares from their own immediate male line, but there are exceptions. Storm Cat line stallions seem to be working well over mares descending from Northern Dancer through Vice Regent and his son Deputy Minister (particularly through Dehere, whose brother, Defrere, is broodmare sire of a stakes placed horse by Bluegrass Cat), through Danzig (whose sons, Hamas and Lost Soldier, are broodmare sires of Bluegrass Cat stakes performers) and Dixieland Band . Other sources of Northern Dancer that might be introduced elsewhere in the pedigree of a mare are Nijinsky II, The Minstrel, Far North, and Fanfreluche . From the same Nearctic line as Northern Dancer, comes Icecapade, and Storm Cat and his sons have met with success when crossed over mares descending from Icecapade through Wild Again, and through Clever Trick and his son, Phone Trick .

Bluegrass Cat should also relish any reinforcement of the La Troienne strain, with Buckpasser being a particularly likely agency.
