The second one doesn't do anything for your mare, in my opinion.

Mardi Gras is definitely eye-catching!!! How many foals does he have on the ground in North America?

Call the Cops is nice, too, but I'd go with Mardi Gras.

I personally like #2 then #1 then #3

Are they more "vanilla" here in the US? From what you said, I'd say yes, but that means they should be well known for what they've done and what they've produced.

Are you wanting somethign as a replacement animal or just for a sale horse?

You know I'll have to look at the number of the colts on the ground.

Mardi Gras has currently been cleaning up in the shw ring this season. It'll be interesting when these 3 are all at Nationals.

To each their own. These happen to be the 3 of the top sires in the country.

I still vote Mardi Gras he has lovely movement As does Call the Cops, but Mardi Gras has nicer features and passes them on. It's likely you could get a buckskin foal from Mardi Gras and your mare, if born bay or chestnut the foal will still have daddies fine features to set it apart from the rest.

I vote for Mardi Gras - he is just stunning! And his movement is very niceeeee. And that neck! Whoo...I love his neck.

What about fillies? Doesn’t anyone want to see fillies on the ground too? Don’t the girls count?
Or are you both talking about number of FOALS?

I was just looking at #2's website, and I think that photo really doesn't do him justice. His neck looks really short, noexistant, but his neck is really not that bad - it's quite nice:
