The excitement surrounding Sweet Lou as the most likely saviour of the Adios siring line in harness racing can only be a great thing for the sport, it can be attributed to several factors:
- Legacy and Bloodline: With superstars like Abercrombie, Artsplace and Art Major (just to name a few) the Adios siring line has a rich history and has produced some of the most successful horses in our sport. When a sire line is at risk of fading away, there is a sense of urgency to preserve it. Many believe Sweet Lou now represents the last hope of continuing this lineage, which adds an element of excitement and anticipation.
- Performance and Potential: Sweet Lou is a tremendously talented and accomplished stallion (current leading money winning 3Yo sire in both the Northern & Southern Hemispheres, he is well known for his racing abilities and now for his successful offspring, it further increases the excitement. People in the harness racing community will be eager to see if Sweet Lou can carry on the legacy of the Adios siring line and can produce high-performing horses that breed on.
- Story and Narrative: The narrative of a last hope or underdog can create a compelling storyline that resonates with fans and enthusiasts. It adds drama and suspense to the sport, as the outcome becomes uncertain and the stakes are high. People enjoy following and supporting such stories, which generates excitement and interest.
- Breeding and Genetics: In the world of harness racing, breeding, genetics play a significant role in determining a horse’s potential for success. We know Sweet Lou possesses those desirable traits, such as speed, stamina and almost perfect conformation, and he is now passing those traits on to his offspring that in turn we pray will be passed down to future generations. This potential for producing top-quality offspring adds to the excitement and the possibility and necessity of continuing the Adios siring line.
Overall, the excitement surrounding Sweet Lou as the potential saviour of the Adios siring line in harness racing stems from the desperation of only 2 other (pacing) lines left in the sport, Meadow Skipper and Volomite. Sweet Lou’s outstanding performance of late and potential, is a compelling narrative, and the hope for successful breeding well into the future.
