Pedigree Query

The Virginia Thoroughbred Assoc has posted a list of seasons that can be purchased outright for an undisclosed price. To me it looks virtually identical to the online auction list, especially for Ky stallions. Does this mean that these seasons didn't reach their reserve during the online sale or are...

The diversity and sense of community in the backstretch is very hard to explain to non racing foks. I think this video did a great job.

Barcaldine, You get screwed even more up there if your horse has been claimed or gets claimed. For some strange reason any claimed horse is disqualified from getting the 20% for being Ontario bred. because of high cost of getting a yearling to the races, a lot of Ontario owners prefer to claim youn...

anyone know whether Financingavailable was sold after the sale? (RNA at $50,000)

We have a good statebred program here especially for Manitoba sired horses. Great incentives were specifically put in place to encourage better stallions to come here. It is extremely costly for our breeders to ship to Ky or Ontario so good local stallions are a priority. The arrival of Whiskey Wisd...

An exciting addition to Manitoba.!!!

We are small breeders in Western Canada who have historically sent one yearling to the select session each year. Unfortunately we now find that Kentucky is a more viable option. The underlaying reasons are two fold: 1. Lack of buyers at the select sale. I don't think that this has anything to do wit...

Dublino: While not everyone is a commercial breeder , sales prices directly reflect the opinion of owners and trainers as to which individuals are most likely to succeed on the track. That is why Mineshaft, Macho Uno and Harlans Holiday can command higher stud fees than MB. Alook at Apex numbers pre...

Dublino: my thoughts on the other 3rd crop sires are as follows: Macho Uno :yearling sales average 37000; median 27500 Mineshaft: Yearling sale average 63000; median 36000 Harlans Holiday average 68000; median 50000 Milwaukee Brew average 8700; median 2000 Obviously Milwaukee Brew is not a commercia...

All of the stakes info and earnings for this horse are gone again!It has been entered/reentered several times.

This stallion is brutally overpriced. The yearling sales average was only $8700 and the median was a lowly $2000. I don't think Stronach really cares if he gets outside mares.......these stallions are in Ontario to help him comply with the residency requirements. Any of his mares parachuting into On...

Watched the webcast but was away from my computer when hip #45 went thru ring. Did she sell as pregnant???The final bid of $23000 doesn't seem like enough for a mare infoal to Corinthian
Any rumors on where Kentucky Bear will be standing at stud?

This article was very interesting. We have a Siphon mare that we raced and are now considering breeding. Like most Siphon mares she is abit of an Amazon , lots of stamina and is retiring sound. The theory of outcrossing suggests that we should now breed back into her bottom line (Pleasant Colony and...

I watched the race. The track has had a huge speed bias all week with no horses able to close. His horse came out of the clouds and closed from last to first .........UNBELIEVABLE.
