Pedigree Query

The recent EHV-1 outbreak and quarantine of a racetrack has me wondering if it would be a bad idea to claim a mare for breeding purposes from an affected facility. If a mare gets infected does that affect her future breeding career? Temporarily or permanently?

Thanks for the information. New Year's Day had a couple of nice colts running last year at the local track. One of them won the futurity.

New Year's Day is not listed on the Hill 'n' Dale stallion roster this year. Ha he moved?

Under a mare's produce record the term "SR" is given. What is the translation to English? I'm guessing it means "no report".

I am watching the Breeders' Cup races on TV. The cable service I have did broadcast all the BC races on Friday but will only show the Classic on Saturday. The announcers have been excellent but I wish they could sneak in the horses' breeding while discussing some of the background stories. They did ...

That was a nice call. Thank you.

Thanks, Erins Isle - This website looks very promising. Will check it out.

What does a person need to know to make the most of a trip to the 'Arc'? Will be in Paris at that time so it seems the chance of a lifetime to see this classic race. Are advance tickets required or recommended? Most information on the web involves booking with tour companies that service British rac...

So there was a precedent for naming two horses as co-HOTY. 2009 would have been a good year to repeat with Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra.

...the owner wanted to put the horse down for humane reasons and the insurance company disagreed...

Good reason not to buy insurance.

No one has mentioned steroids affecting reproduction. Not an issue?

Son of Briartic was leading stallion in Washington for 8 years. I tried to add his race record but his page is locked. He won the Queen's Plate plus several other important Canadian stakes.
