tappiano she is a large mare that ran a lot of her races on the turf.
She is 16+.
The farm told me Toccet is 16'1 and very well made?
I saw him years ago in Kentucky but it is a little fuzzy.

I always liked Kipling. Even though they have him at 15.3 he seemed a little smaller, but he's nicely put together and if I'd had the right mare I would have bred to him. The only one I would not be interested in is Kennedy who was a low level claimer.

Thanks Tappiano. Kennedy was at the bottom of the list which has now gotten shorter :wink:

I like the pedigree with Toccet. If they match up well physically, I think that could be a nice union.

Thanks Bill. I think Toccet might have a nice chestnut date headed his way
soon.

Just dropped my mare Bonnie J. off for her date with
Toccet (the Stallion) :wink: The last time I saw him was
in Kentucky at Castleton Lyons so it has been a while.
I liked what I saw and got to see babies of his. Some
where just a few hours old.
Now the waiting game begins.

Now that you've made your decision, and I can't be accused of influencing... :wink: I will tell you that I tracked quite a few of his runners and they raced early and often.

Ah I'm late to the party, oh well you made the right choice; two of them were automatic tosses.
