I am looking at a yearling, and I'd like to here everyones input on the lines. I am familiar with the sire side, but nothing on the dams side until way back......if you know the lines I'd love to hear from you.

The sire has it going on! But the dam is more way back so it doesnt make much difference. I would be more concerned with performance on her side. Did she compete at all? Have any foals that have competed? That way you get an idea of what your getting.

Roll the Cash was owned by Pat North, North Farms. I saw some of his daughters when I took my mare to be bred. They are beautiful. I'm a huge fan of BA75 too, so the top side of the dam's pedigree is appealing. The bottom side looks old foundation. Having a run x foundation cross of my own, I wouldn't do it again.... Unless the colt was about 12 and broke right. Lol. As far as the sire's side, I might be the only one on this board who is not a fan of OTMR. That sounds discouraging. I'm sorry. I say go look and if you fall in love, then please ignore my post.
eta: I'm having fun reading about Noholme. I have to peel myself away to get back to real life... but here's a blog post. Lots of other info online too. Really interesting! https://fmitchell07.wordpress.com/tag/noholme/
