SKimming Weanlings and specific pedigree

[Daisy Jal Dastur]

Hi!

I don't know if I posted my original message in the right group. I'm interested in a Skimming weanling colt? I've heard some conflicting info about Skimming as a sire (small and crooked vs. the next Northern Dancer!!)

Has anybody seen his foals? If so, how do they look?

Actually, one of my previous mares was bred to him Jolie's Angel (Briartic-Jolie Fabie by Ben Fab). How does this cross work out?

Thanks,
Daisy

Hi Daisy,

I've got a filly by Skimming out of my Smile mare, and i liked her so much that i sent another of my mares back to Skimming. The filly has decent size and was very correct when last i saw her. I haven't seen her in a few months as she is in California and I am in Kentucky, but the reports are still all good. I don't know whether Skimming will be the next Northern Dancer, but he was a hell of a race horse, and he is the spitting image of ND.

As to the cross of Skimming and Jolie's Angel, it is an interesting mating because of the build up of Nearctic that it creates. The resulting foal will be 4x5x3x5 to Nearctic, with 3 male strains and 1 female. Interesting. Good luck with that foal, has the potential to be a good one.

Hi Domino,

Thanks for the reply. The foal isn't mine - we sold the mare at Keeneland back in 2003. Just curious, thoguh!
