The mare's name is Saucy Countess by Tabasco Cat out of Fighting Countess by Ringside.

Re: Bernardini sons

Any information on Wilburn or the newcomers at stud by Bernardini? Thoughts on pedigrees and conformation please! Looking for KY location stallions. Sorry, this is probably too late of a posting to help out on your 2013 mating plans but I have a Wilburn filly and she is by far the best looking foal...

Sadly, you are probably right. You can't play slots with a group of people - everyone separates and agrees to meet at "such-and-such" a place in 2 hours. You can however, have a LOT of fun with a group of people at the horse races. Why our industry's marketing gurus haven't found a way to tap into t...
