Ironically the blanket presentation that day she broke her maiden was by the breeder of Scrappy Roo who won the Connelly as the first T-bred to win a graded stakes in Texas. This is incorrect information, and I have seen it passed along as fact on more than one occasion. Scrappy Roo was not the fir...

It is hard enough to sell a mare/foal here in CA, so you will want to give your girl the best commercial appeal possible by sending her to a KY stallion that CA breeders/owners are familiar with: Pleasantly Perfect. On top of being a lot of horse for just $7,500 (!), he is the sire of the CA G1 runn...

I am very interested in this situation.

The buyer on record, at $1,600, is Cry of the Cat Partners. That is actually the name of the mare in question/Hip 254.

Please do keep us informed.

I inquired about Strive at the beginning of this year, and was told he just stood the single season (2006), and then they stopped on him. However, they said they would consider standing him again if he hit with his first crop. I believe he still resides at Pepper Oaks. Unusual to do it that way, but...
