On maiden bloom, the seedlings were screened for strong growth habits, good form, strong substance, and interesting color/pattern. Twenty-one were saved for evaluation and the next round narrowed the field to six.

89-25-2 |
Best of its type, but simply competing against too many yellows. |
| 89-25-6 | The only pseudoplicata seedling from this cross. |
| 89-25-7 | Intensely veined & dotted. Similar to Son of Boaz, which bumped it from consideration because it had a very similar look but better breeding potential for the pseudoplicata pattern. . |
| 89-25-8 | Intricately veined and dotted, with the dotted type of signal that's typical of the susiana group. |
| 89-25-9 | From a slight distance, this appears to be a chocolate brown self with yellow-orange beard. Up close, you can see that it's actually so heavily dotted, veined, and washed as to appear almost solid. Small black signal. In retrospect, one I most regret not introducing. |
| 89-25-14 | Very delicate colors and pattern, unusual in a halfbred. |
