Advise on this Broodmare & Stallion selection
Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2013 11:13 pm
Firstly I am new to this awesome site. Secondly I am going to be honest from the get go and admit I don't really understand how all this line breeding works although I hope to learn more over the years.
I have been racing horses since 2004 here in Australia and was spoilt after purchasing a small share in my very first horse which ended up being a Group/Grade 1 winner.
So needless to say ever since I have been hooked in the horse racing fraternity and have bought into approximately another 15 horses since then.
Ok with that said, I recently purchased my first Broodmare which I raced a 10% share in her, I was lucky enough to buy the mare outright after a little negotiation.
Her name is Malasun sired by Red Ransom, her mother is Malapert who has produced 2 stakes winners to date.
Firstly Stokehose and secondly my mare Malasun who won her first race start the (Listed) Blue Diamond Preview. Unfortunately her legs were never the same after her debut win.
This is obviously her first year as a broodmare, I am breeding her with So You Think as she is currently under lights.
I would love to know what you guys think and if there are any specialists out there that understand all about line breeding and this X chromosome stuff I would love to know how these two line up in regards to line breeding and so on.
Also some added information that might help is: Malasun was a very speedy sprinter, she is 15.3hh high, but she is a lightly framed mare.
Lastly am I able to get the pedigree of the resulting foal from this site.
Is there a way I could type in Malasun & So You Think so it can show me the foals pedigree?
Look forward to hear from you
Regards
