As the best son of Captaintreacherous, Captain Crunch is a truly exciting stallion prospect.

In the US Captaintreacherous has crossed very well with mares from the Western Hanover line including Tall Drink Hanover $1.0 million (The Panderosa) and Lyons Sentinel $920k (Western Ideal).

So we believe that mares from this sireline will cross extremely well with Captain Crunch.

Of course the Cam Fella line has always crossed well with Direct Scooter line stallions and we see no reason why this shouldn’t be the same with Captain Crunch.

Cam Fella line stallions include include Bettor’s Delight, Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Washington VC, Precious Bunny, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Pacific Fella, etc.

Captain Crunch is out of an Artiscape (Artsplace) mare and history has shown us that duplicating Artsplace in the middle of the pedigree has resulted in some outstanding horses (Anything For Love, Heavens Trend, etc)

Abercrombie line stallions include Art Major, Artsplace, Grinfromeartoear, Modern Art, Albert Albert, Life Sign, Dream Away, etc.

Captain Crunch’s maternal line includes Falcon Seelster blood and we believe that duplicating this could be advantageous. Sweet Lou’s richest Australian bred filly Double Expresso is bred this way.

Falcon Seelster line stallions include McArdle, Tintin In America, Elsu, Million To One, Rich And Spoilt, Ultimate Falcon, Trump Casino, etc.

Gem Quality scored a track record win in the $700,000 Breeders Crown 2YO C&G Final to give Captain Crunch a Breeders Crown winner from his debut crop.
