Away, 1966

Postby Heidilady » Sat Mar 25, 2006 7:03 pm

Can someone please check this mare out? I wanna make sure none of her other offspring are messed up. By Blue Prince out of Golly. See someone got their kicks by inventing a horse that never existed, Volkanaga, entering him in the database (5 times no less) including a few as a G1 winning son of Storm Cat born in 2006 (yes a newborn winning a G1...I smell Triple Crown :roll: !) and since the mare was born in 1966, that makes her a 40 yr old broodmare. Yes I know, classic story of a May-December romance...she's 40, he's 23...it's like Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore all over again. It's also kinda like George Foreman naming all of his kids George except this mare would have to've had quintuplets. This isn't just hypomating, it's insanity. I'd never have caught it if I wasn't playing around with the G1-filter on the Storm Cat progeny--I went who the heck's Volkanaga? and low and behold...

Anywho, they also entered a horse called "Strom Cat" in the database twice, bred in 1996, with no pedigree at all and then commenced putting him as the sire for a couple of the Volkanaga's, no sire for a 3rd, and regular Storm Cat for 2 more. Yeah so I deleted all Volkanaga's, Strom Cat, and wished I could've had the satisfaction of fixing the G1 designation AND get rid of the fake horse at the same time. Sadly it's not to be but all in a good day's work..

Added her 1982 foal & as soon as he shows up (24-48hrs) Away's produce record should be consistent w/ APR.
