WELL FINALLY!!
Huge colt at about 6:20 this morning, Rocking Trick's first out of Schwank (3x3 Clever Trick)... thinking about "No More Tricks", "Too Tricky", etc.
I'm beat. Been holding this bugger up for about three hours on and off. He's already halfway to his dam's shoulder and it's hard to get him to nurse because he has to bend his front knees. Legs like trees.. He must weigh 175... Thank heavens for baby monitors, heard her water break, and no it doesn't sound like peeing.
Will do pics later.. just made more coffee and back to the barn..

So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
Madelyn, were you the one who picked up one or two clever trick sons for stud? There were some in the NE last year at Canter, and I thought someone on this board got him, or them (forget which son).
Clever Trick really stamps his get, doesn't he, his sons do too, those strong legs and to my mind really sound looking pasterns, (I panic over overly long and fragile TB pasterns) as long as they aren't too short. I just keep thinking what great sport horses they would make. Eventers, and such.
I Hope We Can See Pictures of your Rocking Trick Baby soon.

Some people are like slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
No. You are, I believe, thinking about Screen Trick and PF First Trick... mine is a Rocking Trick, a son of Phone Trick that is a multiple G1 stakes winner and started 30 times. His picture is my avatar. He was on the board (1-2-3) in a total of nine graded stakes, including winning a 1000m sprint in 54.33 seconds (3/10's sec off the world record). I got him in the end of December 2003, and these are his first foals this year. Rocking Trick is out of the Storm Cat mare, Razzi Cat. His half-sister, Randy Cat, won 5 g1's, including against the boys. His dam is half brother to the top steeplechaser, Yaw, by Seattle Slew. That horse had his picture in this week's Blood Horse on page 238. He raced for the Entenmans, who have Artie Schiller this year. Rocking Trick's third dam has 11 G1 Stakes Winners under her, including Maid's Causeway. Rocking Trick was claimed by someone I know, for $35,000. He won for them, on the turf and on the dirt, and when he retired I purchased him privately.
Rocking Trick has a very good book of outside mares coming this year, and stands here, at my farm in Louisville KY, for $3500.
