Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Seville’s Princess
As an unbeaten, multiple graded stakes-winning 2YO by one of the top younger sires in the country, Blofeld is a Maryland-based stallion that we believe has a big future, and he’s an intriguing fit for the young mare Seville’s Princess.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — You Made It
As a G1W by a leading sire and from a stallion making family, we think Higher Power has every chance to “make it” and he should be a perfect fit as a first match for You Made It.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Luna
With her dam’s half-sister having produced a pair of SWs by Candy Ride, we think that makes Gift Box an excellent first choice for the well-bred young mare Luna.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Crystal Avalanche
Jimmy Creed is our favorite value stallion for 2021, and this mating will produce a foal bred similarly to G3W Cookie Dough.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Magical Point
With a handful of winners to her credit already in the breeding shed, and a classy female family full of hard-knocking types, Magical Point should be a great fit for Pennsylvania’s veteran blue-collar stallion Weigelia.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Wild For Love
Crossing a son of Pulpit with a Not For Love mare produced California Chrome, which is just one of the reasons we’re excited to send Wild For Love to Lord Nelson in 2021.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Ride the Tide
Pioneerof the Nile and his sons have had historic success with Storm Cat-line mares like Ride the Tide, and she’s a half-sister to a multiple graded-placed filly from the Unbridled sire-line, so there’s a lot to recommend her match with first-year sire Thousand Words.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Hurryupandcomeback
After her first foal recently sold for $95,000 off of just a $10,000 cover, Hurryupandcomeback gets a chance to visit the legendary More Than Ready in 2021.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Animalistic
Into Mischief, his sire, and his sons have all had success with mares from a variety of sires tracing back to Blushing Groom, and we think that makes Maximus Mischief an excellent choice for Animalistic in 2021.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Vibrant Spirit
The matchup of young turf star Demarchelier with the Kitten’s Joy mare Vibrant Spirit is an extension of the cross which produced the world’s top-rated racehorse of 2020 Ghaiyyath.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Miz Magician
Having already produced a six-figure earner by Harlan’s Holiday, Miz Magician will make an excellent match for the exciting first-year stallion Honest Mischief in 2021.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Miss Charlotte
The precocious, versatile and well-bred Scat Daddy son Flameaway was one of the most popular incoming stallions of 2020, and we are excited to send Miss Charlotte his way this year since her family has had success with Storm Cat-line stallions in the past.

Huge Success for Housatonic Clients at 21KEEJAN
Housatonic clients sold a pair of short yearlings at the 2021 Keeneland January Sale for $110,000 and $95,000 — the former off a $20,000 advertised stud fee, and the latter out of a mare purchased for $10,000 just 14 months earlier.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Mission Good Karma
We believe Jimmy Creed is the best value in Kentucky this spring, and given the success that he’s had with Unbridled-line mares, he’ll be a great fit for the young $97k-earner Mission Good Karma.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Justgimmeakiss
An undefeated, multiple graded stakes-winning 2YO, Blofeld is a young Maryland stallion that we believe has a big future — he should be a perfect fit for the hard-knocking young Congrats mare Justgimmeakiss.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Participate
Jimmy Creed is the best value in Kentucky in 2021, as a proven sire with plenty of upside at his current stud fee. He should be a perfect fit for the versatile Participate this spring in her third pairing.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Rockport Dancer
Instagrand was the most brilliant 2YO by breed-shaping sire Into Mischief, and he’ll be a perfect fit for a multiple stakes-placed 2YO mare from the Unbridled’s Song line.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Tiz Emily and Jill
Brody’s Cause has excellent results with his first crop so far, and they should only get better next year. At his $5,000 fee, he offers great value with a lot of upside.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Kuznetsov
The veteran Include has long been one of our favorite value sires, and he added two new graded winners to his resume in 2020 — proving that he’s not done siring good horses yet. He’s an exciting pick for the promising young mare Kuznetsov in 2021.
The TDN – Who’s Your Pick
Always fun to see oneself in the Thoroughbred Daily News — happy to have had the chance to highlight Instagrand among the first-year stallions, and Jimmy Creed for a proven value option.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 – Group Text
As a highly-talented runner from 2 thru 6YO, Gift Box is a first-year stallion we’re very excited about — he’ll be a perfect first match for the SPW 2YO Group Text.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2021 — Lucky Dance
Instagrand is perhaps the most brilliant son of Into Mischief so far, and this mating with a stakes-producing Kafwain mare replicates the cross that produced his most brilliant daughter, Gamine.
Stud Fees & Value
Inspired by the TDN Europe’s recent “From the Experts” series, where breeders and agents are asked to identify recently-announced stud fees that offer value in a trio of different contexts, here are our own such assessments for this coming season’s Kentucky stud fees
Big Books for Bucchero Bring Value to Breeders
Reading the piece by Joe Nevills in the Paulick Report last week about the stallions with increases in mares bred this spring, one number stood out big time: 2. As in, Bucchero picked up 31 more mares in his 2nd book than his first. That just doesn’t happen, and it makes Bucchero a big value for breeders heading into 2021.

Goldencents has proven to be the leading young stallion of his generation, and he’ll give a big shot to a well-related young mare early in her breeding career.
