Wrote this in the sirebook in 2003, when SS went to stud.

What Mares for Smart Strike

Bulding further on the Cyane & Outing Class elements is an obvious way to go. These involve elements of Beau Pere (and genetic siblings), in combination with those from Nasrullah or Mahmoud.
Northern Dancer has already appeared as one good avenue in this respect. This draws attention to the background of the pedigree of Fort Wood, who is by Sadler's Wells out of Fall Aspen. The latter is inbred 3x4x4 to Hyperion & Beau Pere, while her damsire Swaps is a full brother to Track Medal - dam of Outing Class! One to keep in mind in this context is another Swaps genetic sibling, the mare Flower Bowl (dam of Graustark, His Majesty).
Sadler's Wells is a son of Northern Dancer, while his dam Fairy Bridge is by Bold Reason. The latter is a half brother by Hail To Reason to Never Bend, and probably the reason why Sadler' Wells has done so well with Mill Reef & son Shirley Heights. The dam of Bold Reason and Never Bend is Lalun, who is by Djeddah - the perfect foil for Mill Reef's second damsire Count Fleet.
In a nutshell, if Smart Strike doesn't work with Fort Wood, nothing will.
