mare look at!

Postby brooke » Mon Mar 28, 2005 3:15 pm

dont know if yall remember a mare named Skeeter Hawk Annie that was being given away on the baord a while back. but anyway i took here home and bred her to QH stallion Okey Dokey Dale, but if i were to consider going TB next year Would it be worth it? or is her pedigree not strong enough to even think about it for racing purposes?
There will be discouraging times. But a life without horses;
Now that's discouraging.

Your mare was a multiple winner--but if she was in the money 9 times and didn't break $25k, safe to say she was running at the very lowest claiming levels, and as she was winning it was the best place for her to run.

Although your mare's 5th dam was a good producer, and her 6th dam was a blue hen, Road to Romance was not her best producing daughter.

If I owned her, I would not try to breed TB racehorses from her.
