Pedigree Query

Another NFB, Street Life, is now injured.

Morgans descend from one foundation stallion, Justin Morgan.
I'm not sure how many mares he was bred to, but he must be in the pedigree for the horse to be a Morgan.

There are at least 3 different synthetic surfaces in California, and Del Mar doesn't play the same in the morning as it does in the afternoon. Dullahan likes some surfaces. He's quirky. If he likes it in the morning he may not like it in the PM.

And of course, you need to go 63 years back to find examples you want to post about.
By the way, are you the only one to have noticed how they spelled Ridan? Really?

And Khalid Abdullah is the ruler of Saudi Arabia, likewise rather a wealthy place.

Good idea, Ben. Now he can sit in here and talk to himself.

He won't be over in the States anyway. I doubt if he would shuttle to the Southern hemisphere, too. Khalid Abdullah could care less what the fee would be down there. He could buy Australia.

Richard's Kid (2005)
5.0 % Phalaris
5.1 % Teddy

Conclusion:
Maybe breeders should try not selling route stallions overseas faster than they run the first half mile of a race.

The breeders see that they did win the Derby and go bananas thinking that everything by the horse can run on dirt, then send turf mares to them. Some breeders need a good swift kick in the rear by their ...

If there is no duplication, how is it inbred? Just sayin.

Barbaro never had the chance.
Mine That Bird is a gelding, no help there.
Big Brown's first crop just hit the track this year.
The others since are too young.

Shetlands are not little trotters like standardbreds. You are thinking of Hackney ponies. The show Shetland has Hackney blood in an attempt to refine it. The original Shetland was a galloper.

The thoroughbred has had a closed stud book for 300 years. There was a huge to do over even bringing back American TB's just because they had not been bred in England. Then even the English relented and accepted them into the breed. The English still have trouble with the Royal family, but they reco...
