Sid do you think that his late running style (ie no early speed) works against him in terms of potential breeders being wary of him not getting off to a quick start as a sire of juveniles, the Springboard Mile success notwithstanding? In your opinion are deep closers at a disadvantage when going to stud versus horses that display high early speed from a market view?
Yes, breeders are wary of deep closers, no question. But there are many sires—including members of this line, plus some Classic winners—that proved to be good sires.

Send him to California
Hoist the Gold has early speed. Does Senor B’s late running style come from his dam side?
I’d say a combo.
