Pedigree Query

Well, welcome!

The horse ran 10 times this year, seemed to get better and better. Seemed pretty sound. By a sire that got better himself with age. He's 3!!! Winstar spurns through these horses pretty quickly, they barely have yearlings at sales and they're shipping them off to make room for another 3-year-old. Wo...

I'm curious as to what your criteria were for choosing them in the beginning of your study. in order of importance immediate pedigree appearance (if I could see sale or breeze video) then I checked against two of my lists that I've casually kept over the years of my own research-- one of soundness ...

I know. Can't stand seeing scenes from Westerns for that reason.

Oh I know; there's an arcade game that simulates jockey riding, and I couldn't even finish one game...in my fit late thirties!
So glad you enjoyed.

Wonderful...and great name!

Yes . . . thanks for your insights. All makes sense.
We'll see where they put her next.

Well, yes Tap, you're right---I had similar thoughts. And I would have made a quick $100. But in my limited experience of horses whose careers I've followed and noted, a quick jump to stakes company usually leads to a poor performance, which leads to subsequent poor performances. She was beaten badl...

Guess I got out in time. She was entered in the Lynbrook and of course was dead last.
I don't understand why. Best of 14 work prior? Stupidity in my eyes. Why kill her confidence?Why such a jump in class off a mid-pack effort in a MSW ?

I am considering breeding my mare to a stallion with Real Quiet on his dam side. So :?: meone suggested to me that there is a soundness issue with his progeny. Is there any truth to that? Hi there, I've done some soundness research on my own, and didn't find much that points to him throwing unsound...
