Western Expression's dam, Tricky Game (by Majestic Light), is a half-sister to grade I winner and major sire Seeking the Gold, to additional grade I winner Fast Play, and to graded stakes winner Stacked Pack.
Grade I stakes-placed Western Expression will enter stud at Highcliff Farm near Delanson, N.Y., for a fee of $10,000 live foal. A son of Gone West and half-brother to 2000 multiple grade II winner King Cugat, Western Expression ran second in this year's Carter Handicap (gr.
