Pedigree Query

Much More Halo has been racing at the King Abdilaziz Racecourse. He has had 6 races there since he last raced at Santa Anita in 2020. He won an allowance race over there. He apparently was injured after his last race at Santa Anita.

Dark Vader is racing again. In fact, he just won an allowance race at Santa Anita on 2/27. He did not race at all in 2021, probably due to an injury suffered in 2021, but he has been in a couple of races this year. Still do not get the gelding of DV.

Practical Joke now has 23 two year old winners this year, his first crop season. Looks pretty good so far.

I am impressed!

Thanks, glad to hear that.

Thanks Mahubah. I hope that is the case. Maybe a second career as a hurdler or a show horse or something. Beats the alternative.

I thought he was a good racehorse.

I wonder what the demand will be for By My Standards?

Another contender might be Dark Vader, a son of Tale of Ekati. Dark Vader just finished second in the $300,000. grade 3 Cornhusker Stakes at the Prairie Meadows racetrack. He finished 3rd in the Robert L. Lewis Stakes (G3) and the Easy Goer Stakes, Both at Belmont Park. The Cornhusker Stakes is the...

Looks like he gets Cinco Charlie's stall who is no longer on the roster. You probably know this, but there are three other new stallions at Spendthrift for 2022. They are Basin, Known Agenda, and Yaupon. So, there may be a couple more stallions gone from Spendthrift by the end of the year. Too bad,...

By My Standards will be standing at Spendthrift Farm in 2022. I am kind of high on a Goldencents 2 year old colt named Daufuskie Island. On Monday, he finished 2nd by a nose in a state bred race called the Aspirant Stakes at Finger Lakes with a purse of 116K and change. He lost by a head bob and it ...

By My Standards is set to stand at Spendthrift Farm in 2022. He will still be racing until the end of this season, but will go to stud next year. No fee is set so far. He might be racing in one of the Breeders Cup races. If he is, then that will probably be his last race. His sire is Goldencents. Sh...

Practical Joke now has twelve 2 year old winners and two stakes winners as Joker Boy won the 100K I'm Smoking Stakes on 9/4 at Del Mar. He has a stakes placed 2 year old in Tejano Twist who finished 2nd in a stakes race on 8/31 at Colonial Downs. Wit just finished 2nd in the Hopeful Stakes (G1) at S...

Happy to hear about it!

Practical Joke is off to a nice start as a stallion. He not only already has four 2 year old winners, but one of his sons, Wit, won a graded stakes race on Saturday. He won the Sanford Stakes at Saratoga. Maybe Practical Joke will be the next big one. BTW, his sire is Into Mischief, who is probably ...

By My Standards finished second in the Met Mile today. Wonder about his stud career? He will probably go to stud in a year or two, but where and how will he be accepted?
