Pedigree Query

i'm borrowing this from the Friends of Ferdinand twitter feed. Although no amount of fundraising can replace Springcliff Farm’s devastating losses, a GoFundMe has now been started to help with the initial costs of starting to rebuild their historic farm. If you’re so inclined to help, you can do so ...

24 horses perished. My lovely big Stonesider mare, Glory Style, in foal to Gormley, was lost.

her last foal from 2018 was born in California by Twice the Appeal - that gives you a starting point. She doesn't show as being bred to a TB stallion since then.

hold up, you mean I could breed and foal in KY without having her papers on hand?

That's tempting! Madeline, how much is daily board??

I feel like this is a constant issue, but ... I have located a very nice mare but she went through a kill pen and current owner doesn't have her papers. I'm not sure how other states work, but in Indiana we have to have at least a copy of front and back of papers showing me as owner. Are other state...

I can't believe that Oxbow is still viable after this round of sales. His babies are essentially being given away. What will his 2020 stud fee be?

agree! What a nice mare. Breed her to English Channel!

ouch. They pretty much had to give away these foals!

I remember this filly! She was involved in the horrendous 5 horse spill at Aqueduct. First two dams were good runners. Hmm.. foaled a colt in 2012 and returned to racing in 2013. I see the two foals, one of which was stakes-placed but not black type ... is that because of the state restrictions? I a...

I make a list of horses in the last catalog that I *think* i could afford and then justify the potential purchase. There are some (actually, a lot) of Calumet grass mares being dropped into this sale with 2019 stud fees attached. That is so appealing. Some of my front runners are: 4241 French mare (...

Oxbow, Americain, Gemologist, Raison d'Etat, Grey Swallow .... and many Animal Kingdoms. Just not popular commerically

Madelyn, I'm trying to pm you but i don't think messages are going through. In a broodmare one of those on the list might not be a deal killer but All of Them?? Actually, in conformation for a broodmare I look for the total aspect. At least 16h with a very full body, nice long hip, good long sloping...

Female side doesn't scream stallion prospect, either. Dam is a minor stakes winner who produced a nice graded runner in Middie, who also happened to set a new track record. There's a stakes placed horse in France in the 3rd dam.

The Stormy Atlantic mare was bred to Midnight Lute, so they thought enough of her to spend ~$15K on a breeding fee when they were planning. (yes, I know that they didn't have to pay a Stands and Nurses fee) Hmmm... I wish I had been there. Actually, it's probably just as well. The lucky dice roll ha...

I was only able to view bits and pieces by watching online, but I was absolutely drooling over 515, the Hard Spun horse Anazimandros. I thought he would sell much higher. and then the puzzlement over 421, a Purim daughter in foal to Get Stormy, for only $1000 469, lots of European black type, but by...
