Nessa - why do you mention Allou? I watched a Timonium sale breeze last night by a 2yo out of a mare named Allou - A Toccet if I remember correctly. I thought the breeze was sneaky good....I turned the page down even though I am not a toccet fan....

OOH! That's my "godfilly". Is this breeze on the net? (I'll let CLH explain..but she owns Allou)

I agree she looks wonderful, with lots of bone. Nice stride.

Poster clh bred Hoopoe, who was sold to Ahmed Zayat last September as a yearling. This will be his first start.

Hoopoe's are beautiful birds for anyone who cares to know.

Aren't they gorgeous Wilf. I thought his name was most excellent since Hoop started out as something of a not quite ugly duckling as a foal, but came into his own as a yearling.

Hoopoe was scratched today. Anyone know why?

bdw0617 · Postby **bdw0617** » Sun May 17, 2009 7:42 pm

i think that monster entree mate of his had something to with it. that's one to keep an eye on.

why do 2 when 1 will do

Hey guys - sorry I just saw this post :oops:

Haven't really been online much - these mares, yearlings and foals are keeping me busy this year, as is all the freaking mowing :wink:

Anyhow, Hoopoe (Birdstone/Allou) is the first foal out of Allou (Seattle Slew/Fun Crowd). She did indeed have a Toccet filly (who is my avatar Tallulah) at the Maryland sale - she RNA'd but I believe (fingers crossed) we have gotten her sold now. She was a huge filly and I think she has tons of potential.

Hoopoe is now scheduled to race in a MSW on 5/23 at Belmont. Hopefully he'll do well!!

Allou has a Good Reward yearling at my place now and an Invasor colt this year.

On another note - those of you that followed McCaskill's Tapit filly (McTapit to us) - Malibu Beach to her new owners :lol:

just won a MSW at Delware Park today! Yippee! McCaskill will be so happy and hopefully it will help her Suave colt this summer at the sale. Now if they could just get her in a stakes race and she'd win before then .......
