I have thought on several occasions of covering Slew City Slew. Now seems the most appropriate time to cover this very versatile sire. His son Lava Man just became the first horse ever to sweep all three of the southern California big races for handicap horses and oh by the way he mixed in a turf stakes win over the summer as well and is undefeated so far this year. He is marketed in real life as the epitome of superb sire value, so where does he stand in the sim? Real Life –<\/B> Now add in Slew City Slew who was a multiple grade I winner during a forty-two race career where he earned over a million dollars in purses. It is no wonder he gets a high percentage of his foals to the track and when they get there they have a high number of average starts per runner. He only stands for $6,000 a foal now and that is slightly up from past years and is a big reason why he is the epitome of superb sire value. He has produced two millionaires among one champion, twelve graded stakes winners and seventy six stakes performers over all. His best runner to date is having an amazing year a perfect six wins from six starts including a sweep of the G1 Santa Anita Handicap, G1 Hollywood Gold Cup and G1 Pacific Classic. Getting a feel for what sire lines his crosses best with is difficult. He produces well with Mr. Prospector, Northern Dancer, Sim Life \u2013 <\/B> Like in real life there is no one pattern that seems to work with him. He produces well from Mr. Prospector, Northern Dancer and other not so well known lines. Also much like real life he is getting nice production considering he is not being bred a whole bunch to top dam sires. He only has twelve two year olds so far this year and only gets used about twenty times a year. The one negative is he has not produced a stakes winner in his last four crops. That needs to be turned around.\u00a0 <\/SPAN> Breeding Suggestions \u2013 <\/B>The possibilities are endless here\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, In Reality, Ribot, Damascus and Halo line sires appear to all be wonderful choices. Aside from four runners with Forty Niner as the dam sire, and one with Gone West as the dam sire he has not been used with upper level dam sires. He has not even been matched with a lot of second tier dam sires and I think that alone could go a long way in getting a good runner from Slew City Slew. <\/P> From Mr. Prospector line dam sires choices I like a few of the top sires Woodman, Seeking the Gold, Miswaki, and Machiavellian. Some of the mid tier Mr. Prospector line dam sires are interesting as well like Jade Hunter, Our Emblem, Cryptoclearance, or Quiet American. <\/P> I like the Northern Dancer line a little better and there are more good choices I think like the top dam sires Sadler\u2019s Wells, Do not count out In Reality in either dam sire slot. In real life In Reality line sires blended very well with Seattle Slew and Relaunch is a dam sire choice I like. Those\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Roberto sons Kris S., Red Ransom, Lear Fan and Dynaformer all solid choices. <\/P> What to Expect<\/B> \u2013
