Dam: Emerald Verse
Sire: Cowboy Carson

I'm not a racehorse trainer or breeder and I obtained this mare 7mo pregnant.
I've never met an OTTB I didn't like

Hi

Cowboy Carson only made one start, but is a full sibling to the stakes winner and sire, Lord Carson. The dam, Emerald Verse, had a race record of 31-6-4-2 ($46,384), and is a half sibling to 9 winners. She was best sprinting on dirt. She won in the mud, and placed on the grass. Her dam, Sheckiama was stakes placed, and a half sister to the stakes winner, September Splendor, and to the stakes placed winner, Supreme Splendor. I would expect the foal to take after her mother as far as aptitudinal ranges go. The hypo mating presents a well balanced conduit mare profile that may allow the foal to stretch out some as he/she matures. I wouldn't count on getting much as a sales prospect, but as a breed to race type there is potential. Cowboy Carson has a couple of decent runners so far (one stakes placed) from limited opportunities.

Good luck.

I have no plans to race the baby (I wouldn't even know where to start!!!) but pedigrees interest me. I'll most likely give him away if someone wants to race him or keep him for a riding horse :D
