<\/o:p>\u00a0<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

These sires didn\u2019t get no love in 2007\u2026 actually, most of them have been waiting for a mare to call for much longer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>So swing by their stud farms and give these lonely boys some play.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

EULOGIZE (#1984)<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This sire, born in 1986, is a rare bird: a son of Roberto still available as a sire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He stands in Louisiana<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and is due to end his stud career this sim season, so get your mares in.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has not been used as a sire since 2001!\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s had over 70% winners among his sim progeny, although none of them all that fast.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They have leaned toward route races, and are somewhat more successful on dirt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s done nothing as a broodmare sire, but has only two such foals.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Along with the Roberto side, he\u2019s got some Damascus<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> and long-winded Sea-Bird on the bottom side of the pedigree.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Real-life Eulogize won four races and has one stakeswinner, Maximum Advance.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

LATIN REIGN (#14120)<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

With solid bloodlines, this sire has a chance to be more than his otherwise minor race record and stud record would indicate.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s by El Gran Senor out of an Exclusive Native mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His female family includes American and Argentinian Grade 1 winner Lovellon and last year Derby<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> trail performer Notional.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He managed a second in a Group 2 in Italy<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>, but there is nothing else notable in his race record.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has three runners and one winner in real life, and two runners and one winner in the sim (both from 2003, and both retired).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sim winner GEAR BEEHIVES was decent as a sprinter, but LATIN REIGN\u2019s sirelines are versatile with distance, so try him with various types of damsires.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He stands in Indiana<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> (real life fee: $1,500).<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

L-WAY WIN (#11015)<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The Japanese two-year-old champion of 1992 didn\u2019t really impress in later years of racing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>By Caerleon (think useful sire Generous) out of a Rusticaro mare, he would appear to lean turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rusticaro is a son of Caro, who shows up in the pedigrees of Unbridled\u2019s Song, Maria\u2019s Mon, Red Bullet, Cozzene, and With Approval.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That list sure makes it look like you should be expecting a route of ground, possibly on either surface.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His few real-life Japanese progeny don\u2019t provide a clue, and his only two sim progeny (one in 2001 and one in 2004) didn\u2019t win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019d be interesting as a bargain sire with some broodmare sires from the Northern Dancer wing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>And, of course, to Broncos fans.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

MEGAS VUKEFALOS (#9654)<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Admit it, you like the wacky name.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This Canadian product won or placed in several stakes, banked over $800k, and stands north of the border for $6,000 Canadian (what\u2019s that now, $10,000 American???).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s a son of Cool Victor, sire of two Canadian champions, out of a mare by obscure Dom Alaric.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In real life, he\u2019s got two nice winners from limited foals.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In the sim, there are winners VOLUPTUOUS CLUB and COUNTRY MODE, but he hasn\u2019t been used since 2002.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Most of Cool Victor\u2019s best products did their biggest damage sprinting on dirt, so there\u2019s somewhere to start with this sire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There\u2019s some Intentionally and Nearctic in MEGAS VUKEFALOS\u2019s pedigree, so avoid or linebreed to In Reality and Northern Dancer line sires as is your preference.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

JACK WILSON (#3105)<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

He has been successful in real life as a sire of New Mexico-breds, including Romeos Wilson and Ninety Nine Jack, but now stands in Oklahoma<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> for $2k.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The son of Encino won only a minor stakes in the Land of Enchantment, but his dam produced graded winner Penny\u2019s Reshoot; graded winners Chace City and Smooth Air also show up among her descendents.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His sim progeny include decent AEGON’S DANGER, unlucky maiden EIGHT METER, and stakes-placed MANGO CLAM.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There\u2019s not much but Northern Dancer and Hail to Reason in the 4th generation to complicate your breedings to this guy.<\/o:p><\/P>
