CITY ZIP

[zort91]

I'm interested in breeding to CITY ZIP. I thought I had read something on this site about his feet but I can't seem to find it searching. Does anyone have knowledge about him? Thanks for a reply.

Hi Zort,

Your question is very general. What kind of information are you looking for?

Regards,

Pete

I'm looking for anything that relates to probability of the offspring having bad conformation if we sell or physical problems if we race.

Thanks for any replies.

City Zip foals are often smaller, with one knee (usually the right one) a little turned out. This is why they don't sell for a high average even though they can run a hole in the wind.

At $20K, he's a good breed to race stallion. We have a very nice yearling filly, who fits the above description, but is very racy. We would breed to him again.

In terms of his feet, when he came to Lane's End, he had one very bad front foot, which they rebuilt with fiberglass. It is fine now.

Thanks for the reply. We've been offered a season to him for 12.5. Our mares last 3 foals are large with a lot of bone so we really are looking for a stallion that is a bit smaller.

Does he still have that big, ugly scar on his leg? I think he ran into a fence when he was a yearling and he got a big gash from it.

you might want to take a look at Starquine where I think a guy is trying to sell a share - might want to work some kind of deal perhaps

Hi!

I have galloped tons of CZ babies! I love them! They are tough and love to work and full of it! They are usually well bodied of average size (I never got on any "tiny" ones) and no significant feet problems. However, they usually had a lot of chrome, so maybe they were a tad softer! No complaints about this horse though, especially if you like speed!
