Superfection

Does anyone have any information or updates about Superfection (Medaglia d'Oro x Supercharger)? The only news I keep running across is about him selling for $1.2m at Saratoga in 2011 to Sheikh Mohammed, nothing newer. After all of the publicity about him, and his 1/2 brother Super Saver in 2010 &...

I have never been so relieved for a horse NOT to win the Triple Crown, which is a shame, because I really didn't have anything against the horse.

How much did it hurt Big Brown, when he went to stud, to be connected to IEAH?

Does anyone know what's become of I Want Revenge? Other than his name showing up in lawsuits between Lanzman & IEAH, I haven't heard anything about him in years.

How about an easier way to research broodmare sires on this site? I would love to be able to generate a list of offspring by a sire's daughters. For example, I have a mare by Woodman. I would like to see what his other daughters have produced. Especially to zero in on sires that are creating good cr...

Question about a quote from an article on Bloodhorse.com

I'm not exactly sure which section to post this in, but it seems to qualify as a pedigree/breeding question. I'm curious about the phrase "open lines", used in a quote from the Bloodhorse.com article about Americain standing at Swettenham in Australia - "Americain is out of the Arazi mare America an...

Unfortunately it is not available for MAC users until feb or so. It would have been nice to have it available now. I know I can get some use from some of the stallion farms that provide it but not sure if I get full use of the tool that way. I'm glad to hear that a Mac version is in the works and h...

What? That the horse came in last place in her first race? Yes. But that wasn't what it's all about. I said it wasn't a Hollywood ending. We just have to hope that she improves as she gets more experience. I personally was glad to see the part about Billy Turner and that he's still training. I wish ...

Here's a "feel good" story from the Paragallo resc

I knew this story was going to be rather controversial when I posted it, but I took the chance anyway, especially since it was on the a major network news program and actually showed horse racing in a positive light. However, since it's gotten nothing but negative comments, I'll just go ahead and pu...
