Independence Hall

Independence Hall is open to cross with most of the strains that have worked under his sire. His second dam is a sister to the brilliant Breezy Story, a daughter of Storm Cat. This strain will be back in the 4th generation of his offspring, and we can note that Constitution is already sire of 10 BTWs out of Storm Cat line mares, 4 G1. Successful broodmare sires include Giant’s Causeway, his brother Freud and son, First Samurai; Bluegrass Cat; Scat Daddy; Stormin Fever; and Harlan’s Holiday (sire of Into Mischief). Storm Cat is a Northern Dancer line horse, and from other branches of that line, Constitution has a GSW out of a mare by Dixie Union; a GSW out of a mare by Ghostzapper (by Awesome Again, from the Deputy Minister branch); and from the Sadler’s Wells branch, G1Ws out of mares by Galileo and Kitten’s Joy (by El Prado, also sire of Medaglia d’Oro). Looking at the Mr. Prospector line, Constitution has done very well with the Fappiano branch. He has GSWs out of mares by Empire Maker, and a BTW out of that horse’s son, Pioneerof the Nile, suggesting daughters of such as American Pharoah and Cairo Prince. There are also 3 BTWs out of mares by Unbridled Song, and a BTW out of a mare by Broken Vow. There are 2 BTWs out of mares descending from Mr. Prospector through Gone West, and a GSW out of a mare by Curlin, a son of Smart Strike. We can also note Constitution has already sired no less than 4 BTWs, including classic-winning standout Tiz The Law out of mares by Tiznow, a son of Relaunch. – Alan Porter
