Pedigree Query

I hope it is OK to post this link, but since 100% of the proceeds go to retrain retired thoroughbreds, I hope this will be considered appropriate. And this really is a unique item/experience! The wonderful connections of Groupie Doll have donated the chance to own the halter Groupie Doll wore all th...

From what I have read, he was in training, even as a four year old, but never could get to the track because of recurring injuries.

Thanks for the link winningcolors, but what I'm looking for is a conformation photo of Kitalpha. Also of Miesque and Mythic Tribe another son of Miesque who is standing at teh Arrow Stud in Japan. So far tracking stallions who are in Japan has been very difficult. Anyone else have better success? T...

There are two 2008 foals and one 2009??? unnamed foal listed in the database here. Can anyone can point me at a conformation photo, or yearling sales photo? Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but this is one of Kitalpha's. Lot 85, Whirling http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:DNhjDGuSxs...

I read in a newsletter that Kitalpha's second crop statistics as of June 2008, were: Kitalpha 44 Starters 26(59%)Winners 7(16%)SWs I can't find this information anywhere else. Does anyone here know where it may have come from? I can't find any stats from Zimbabwe where Kitalpha was standing up until...

Coming down the stretch, with just a few hours to go, two former competitors are dueling it out down the stretch on ebay. This is a great chance for fans of these two warriors to obtain a great memorbilia item. http://tinyurl.com/6plk57 http://tinyurl.com/6exo8w 100% of the final bids will go to Sec...

I think you need to find out what kind of ability Mr. Sekiguchi possessed and why he didn't earn black type...... Another major consideration with unaccomplished stallions is the farm that stands them, and what kind of support can be expected from the owners.......... I had felt, from following Mr ...

Winningcolors, In the Storm Cat line put Mr. Sekiguchi against Cat Thief, Stormin Fever, and Tactical Cat. All had progeny earnings in excess of 3 million. Unknown vs 3+ million..... There may be times when your choices are such that you need to look at a first year sire, but with storm cat line I ...

Thanks to all for mentioning all those sucessful sires who didn't have such impressive race records. I can see now I have been putting too much emphasis on that. And especially with the proven sires, once they show they can produce, their race record really doesn't matter. ( Similar to handicapping ...

[Danzig retired without blacktype. Vice Regent retired without blacktype, and he was a tremendous sire in Canada. I am glad I asked first. Danzig definitely fit’s the category of a great sire. What are your goals? Do you race in a regional market or plan on selling the foal? .......I would certainl...

Our group is discussing which sires to use this year. Some saw Mr Sekiguchi in person, and think he is worth a shot at $5,000. My initial response, coming from a handicapping background I suppose, was "NO!" The guy was a dud on the track, unsound, cheap speed, no stamina, and on and on. They disagre...

I don't have any stats to back these up, but these are some I like for artificial surfaces. Some are sires whose runners I like to bet when I see them try Artificial for the first time and expect them to move up. Some are sires that we have looked at to use, hoping their runners would have some arti...

This is sort of backwards from what is usually asked for..... Early on when we started a Thoroughbred Rescue, we didn't write down the lip tattoos or Jockey Club numbers of the horses who came through our program. ( Some did not have this info, but many came to us right off the track with papers.) N...

My great ambition would be to get a shoe from Hard Spun. As the year went on I loved that horse more and more. On the halter issue, when I obtained my former racehorse Gear It Up (see separate thread on his whole story), he came not with his own halter but with a halter belonging to a horse called ...

winning colours, I love the fact his poop and straw are still mashed in the shoe :lol: :lol: I have always wondered what other people do or if people do anything as far as presenting "game used" tack... It was funny when I brought the shoes to various plaque stores to get prices for mounting the sh...
