I'm probably the lowest of authorities....but the pedigree's fixed. :wink: This is the second such case I've seen this week - both involving a Secretariat mare. ::::sigh:::: Looks like I got another project on my hands. :roll: Thank you, Lucy. Miles needs to install a roving band of pit bulls to bi...

Exotic Wood (1992)

I pulled up this stakes winning mare's pedigree this morning to find most of it missing. It's beyond my understanding how big chunks of her pedigree can need "researching" since she's from a prominent and distinguished family. The Db wouldn't allow me to fix it -- actually, I believe the message sai...

Yet very rarely does the sire female tail ever come up in conversation after a foal is born and on the ground. There is talk of sire, broodmare sire and female tail, but rarely does the sire female tail ever become the focus past the initial hypo-mate. So how would Yarn figure in a Goods pedigree c...

This site sometimes takes on a life of it's own.

The absent progeny records tends to occur more often in early morning than at other times during the day. But it does happen frequently.

It's also not uncommon to type in one name, press enter, and have another name/pedigree pop up.

Re: Hypo-Mating Question: Speed = 15 Stamina = 16

Would this foal being produced be a GS-1 and 2 competitor and how accurate is the Hypo-Mating system? If only breeding Graded stakes competitors were as simple as combining the "right" numbers.... Bill Lathrop's Conduit Mare Profile is more a reflection of "distance aptitude," i.e., sprint (less th...

Hub City Dancer is proven not to produce and far worth less than $40,000. I agree she has not been bred to much as far as sires go and maybe someone should buy her for $40,000 and breed her to Dynaformer Even if her Pedigree is the best in the world, is she isn't producing anything that has made a ...

As a broodmare? Well they'd have to PAY me to take her. She's not what I would consider breeding material if you are looking to better the breed. Did you look at her pedigree...? The mare is half to the dam of two Graded stakes winner, one with earnings over $1 million. The influence of this mare's...

There's an awful lot of hype, not to mention hyperbole, in the Comments. For example, I wonder how the fact that she was Breeders Cup nominated is supposed to help her as a broodmare? Do you think "spin" like that actually persuades buyers to spend $40,000 for what, by all appearances, is a failed ...

Re: Opinions?

This mare has produced six foals to date with her highest earner getting $8,689 in 33 starts. Anyone got an opinion on her true market value? http://www.equinenow.com/horse-ad-25700 Her value is probably closer to what was paid for her last September than the $40K being asked now --> Hip # 102 http...

It might be an amateur's rendition of a famous race. Then again it might just be paint slapped on a canvas - it resembles one of those commercial type mass produced prints found on sale in a shopping mall parking lot or street corner.

I don't consider it a quality piece of art work at all.

I have no idea whether there is a line consistently drawn there (or supposed to be) for db entries or not. No line is drawn. The only consistency in this Db is it's inconsistency. A few months ago I pulled up Azeri's pedigree and "learned" she's Afleet Alex's half sister. I once pulled up the proge...

Looking at the Oregon catalog for 2002, Pie Rise was listed as bred to Abstract, but NOT pregnant. I can confirm that, as I was intererested in Purchasing the mare. Interesting... Pie Rise is shown at the JC as having a live foal by Abstract in 2003, but when I spoke with the mare's owner she said ...

Re: pedigree eval

i'm going to throw my mare, IDGY THREADGOOD, out for feedback on her pedigree and suggestions for bloodlines in the mid-atlantic area. Consider Bop for your mare. He stands in West Virginia for an advertised fee of $2500. Bop was fairly durable - winning 12 of 23 starts, and fast - setting three co...
