My only 2 yo so far is named Mondenschein (Brahms-See Moon, Deputy Minister). I'm fielding a few offers from some big name people and will defintely retain full breeding rights if I do start to partner up with someone. So far, everything is looking at a very talented filly who should like the turf a...

I have to say--speaking as a buyer--that I've noticed a real difference at this sale. When I've asked for information, consignors have gone out of their way to get in to me (including a call-back at 7 p.m. after they'd had trouble tracking down an owner to get an answer.) Believe me, this was not t...

On a side note even with very suspect sire and bm sire this filly traces back to a family thick with class. For a free filly, a regional breeder couldnt do much better especially sending this filly to a Courtly Dee line stallion.

Sky Mesa

Anyone else in love with him? I cant help but get over this feeling he's going to be a monster stallion. Here's hoping since a Brahms 2 yo filly I have has a half sister ready to drop a member of his first crop.

Welcome Surprise will be. Not a bad start with the 8 million dollar Storm Cat Colt. Omi had a 4.2 million dollar colt by Seattle Slew, Distinction, and several other expensive babies too (i own the latest, a Broad brush filly :D ). If they continue to sell them and the colt does well then she defin...

War Relic and Hard Tack were both closely inbred (3x3 and 3x2, respectively) to *Rock Sand, Man o' War's broodmare sire and an extremely high-strung horse whose stall had to be padded to a height of four feet because of his persistent kicking. *Rock Sand's temperament in turn probably had much to d...

Re: Most bankable commercial mares???

Which active broodmare has the best yearling/weanling/2yo in training foal average with 3 or more sold in the world sold at public auction? It just hit me and I thought maybe Serena's Song??? She's had a 1 mil, 3.5 mil and 2.9 mil out of all her foals to sell... and Grand Reward was purchased by Co...

Serena's Song has a Mr. Prospector, a Deputy Minister, an Unbridled and 4 Storm Cat's and is infoal to A.P. Indy. That's a lot of diversity really.

My filly Coquinerie can be a mean lil girl. We have to keep her away from other fillies until saddling time-- even then she'll put back the ears and try to take a bite. Serena's Song is known to be extremely aggressive as well. Denali wont let anyone alone with her especially when she has a foal. On...

Saw Seattle Fitz-- some may find interesting

Seattle Fitz is a looker. I dont think you'll find a better looking stallion at his price. He has bone for days and the S. American influence is there in the conformation which is never a bad thing in my opinion. His one weakness may be a little weak in the back and a tad narrow in the front but tha...

The Mr. Janney is really clearing out this family. He's dropping his numbers considerably. Many of the young mares from this family are being offered and at very low prices. I may go after a Horse Chestnut filly who is selling in Versailles in-foal to Flatter. I believe she went through November and...

Hi I think that the Tapit/All Glory mating should be a commercially viable one. Nicely balanced pedigree. Tapit and Relaunch are from the same family, tracing to Black Velvet, a source of speed. Honor And Glory and Fappiano are from the same family, tracing to Plucky Liege, a source of stamina. The...
