Rizzi...

I visited Rizzi earlier this breeding season. Our farm is about 5 miles from where he stands. There isn't anything dramatic about him but he is solidly built..and here is the part you'll like...he does get a good percentage of decent runners and winners at the NYRA tracks. Don't know where you are p...

breeding to Strategic Mission

went to see SM yesterday. I hope you have a contract in hand. It's a pretty strong possibility that if Showing Up hits the board he is going to go to $7500. (He is typical MR.P by confirmation by the way) I also saw a 1 mo. filly of his out of a Cox's Ridge mare that I liked very much. She had good ...

Thank you Pete, I didn't have time to post that sad news from Sunday. I spoke with Chris B. just today, as we have a Gold Token colt on the ground from a Spend A Buck mare and are, as I said, waiting for another. The entire staff at Sugar Maple are leading the prayers and good wishes ( as we all are...

strategic mission and lady wrong song

Hi Keith: I think SM is a good bet if you are breeding to race. As Pete said, Mr. P gives him a license to sire some good ones. I have seen him within the last 4 months and agree with Pete's analysis on confirmation. A horse headed to the Derby out of a crop of 18 foals isn't too shabby and three or...

I like your mare....

she crosses very well with Gold Token, a son of Mr. Prospector that has been having a good deal of success getting runners on the NYRA circuit. The dosage profile numbers and GSV are very good and the conduit mare profile suggests a very balanced breeding. The Mr. P/Seattle Slew cross has produced s...

I don't remember exactly what the stallion manager at Liberty (where he is standing now) told me but it was some type of breeding shed incident that prevented him from covering mares for the rest of the season when it happened a few years back. By the way, I have done well with Ormsby breeding two w...

Strategic Mission covered very few mares according to what I have heard, due to a farm accident a few years back; he only 18 had two year olds of 2005. In 2005 he covered 29 mares. He had I think he will be getting more and better mares and have looked at him seriously myself. He has a lot of class ...
