GAME WINNER Candy Ride (ARG) – Indyan Giving, by A.P. Indy 2016 Bay l 16.3 Hands Game Winner was an undefeated Champion Two-Year-Old and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile win- ner. He is by Candy Ride, himself an undefeated champion, an outstanding sire, and now a sire of sires with four graded stakes siring sons. Game Winner’s dam is a multiple graded stakes producer by A.P. Indy out of Champion Fleet Indian. The most prolific cross for Candy Ride and sons has been with Storm Cat line mares, this already having produced more than 30 stakes winners, including Horse of the Year Gun Runner, out of a mare by Giant’s Causeway (whose son Eskendereya is also a broodmare sire of a Candy Ride line stakes winner). The cross with mares by Forest Wildcat (sire of Wildcat Heir) has also worked particularly well, and there are also Candy Ride line stakes winners out of mares by Tale of the Cat, Henny Hughes (by Hennessy, also grandsire of Scat Daddy), Stormy Atlantic, Yankee Gentleman, Cat Thief, Tabasco Cat, Storm Creek, Sea of Secrets and Storm Creek. Over mares from the Sadler’s Wells line, a son of Candy Ride has a grade one winner out of a mare by Powerscourt, and there are stakes winners out of mares by King of Kings and El Prado, which suggests trying daughters of Medaglia d’Oro, Kitten’s Joy and Artie Schiller.
