Veteran Posts: 155	I am planning on breeding to Dash Ta Fame this spring and deciding between my daughter of Merridoc or daughter of Lanes Leinster? Both daughters were race earners in their early years. What are your thoughts?

Extreme Veteran Posts: 382	First, I would love to be in your shoes right now!! I wish that was my problem!! But I would go with the Lanes Leinster based on the information. Lanes Leinster is the Number 1 magic cross on Dash Ta Fame (If I remember right). Cant wait to see the foal down the road though! Edited by barrelracer63046304 2016-11-19 12:47 PM

Sorry I don't have any advice Posts: 1975 Location: Sunnyland Florida	I've always heard (and seen) that many of the Merridoc's are very silly and fragile-minded, but they really have quick speed. Like the DTF's are not silly enough alone, I think I'd go with the Lanes Leinster.

They do have a playful side, but the ones I've known had a huge work ethic and were not fragile minded or hot at all.

Saint Stacey	My worry with breeding DTF and Merridoc would be the doubling up of Tinys Gay and Anchor Watch through the Rocket Bar on both sides. That TG and AW cross has been pretty much proven to produce sway backs sometimes. If that doesn't bother you then I'd go with the Merridoc myself. I'm not really a Lanes Leinster fan.

Elite Veteran Posts: 889 Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness	My favorite futurity colt I ever owned was a DTF out of a LL daughter.... it would be a no brainer for me! Lol. My mare was big, pretty and tough as nails. I've very seldom seen a horse with that cross that I didn't like.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 415	Lanes Leinster is a magic cross so I would go with that! I bred a daughter of Famous Lane (now in Brazil) who is DTF x Lanes Leinster to a son of Dr Nick Bar last year and got an awesome colt that I am happy with and he has a great personality! DTF also crosses well with Dr. Nick Bar's so hopefully one of the crosses work haha! The other Lanes Leinster daughter we have is a 1D horse if that helps at all too :)

	DASH TA FAME's dam is by TINYS GAY which gives his get that turning power around the barrels and is carried on thru his sons and daughters. If you want a very unique and desired filly or stud colt breed to your MERRIDOC // TINYS GAY mare ... these genes will attract race horse breeders and poles and barrel horse racers wanting the TG genes and turning abilities in their babies. Your baby will be one of the youngest get of DTF for years to come so make a good decision on your choice of mares. There are so many sons of DTF available and not one of them has stepped forward as a leading barrel horse sire to even come close to DTF ... Here is a fake baby with DTF and crossed on a MERRIDOC mare ... so you can see the 3S x 3D line breeding of TINYS GAY ... That will give you 25% TG genes from top and bottom in a baby .. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/fame+n+merri Look at TINYS GAY pedigree comments section ... he came in 2nd at the All American Futurity by a head ... or he would have been a Triple Crown winner like Special Effort ... http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/tinys+gay Do you remember who DOCS KEEPIN TIME was in all the movies he starred in?? Read the comment section in his pedigree .. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/docs+keepin+time and then go to his FB page to get a good look at him for a little bit of memory recall ... https://www.facebook.com/Docs-Keepin-Time-53015405804/ This is a famous blue hen mare by TINYS GAY that has progeny winning the big races today ... http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/send+me+candy Now study the candy horses in the bottom of this 2 million dollar winner that has just entered stud service for $9,500 fee ... http://www.stallionesearch.com/show_stallion.asp?horse=1463 As you can see the TINY GAY genes are alive and still winning and having a TG mare is something you want to carry on for more generations ... If you have a colt it might be the one to be the barrel horse sire of the future and not like so many other sons of DTF that are just hit and run sires of winners ... Just for fun on another cross on a Merridoc mare with sale prices when the sire was not so famous ... http://www.fultonranch.com/Mare.Winnsboro.htm GOOD LUCK ON YOUR DECISION ... If you breed the Merridoc mare ... my consulting fee will be one free breeding 5 years from now .... lol
