He's apparently putting out and we have us 3 mares in foal to the ol' boy. Anybody wanna tip off AfleetAlex#1fan to get the $$ together? :wink:

The first mare is Champagne Royale by French Deputy, and the other two have sisterly connections to well known horses. Retiro Park (dam of G3 winner Snorter) is a sister to Meadow Star and Baby Lets Cruise (by Tale of the Cat) is half to Jade Hunter.

Congrats Alex!

Side note: There's going to be a Breyer horse likeness of Afleet Alex released some time this year. I've seen a prototype on the Net. Maybe that's what AfleetAlex#1Fan meant when she said she was buying him to breed to all of her mares- plastic, that is. Silly us.

Dude. Now there's a low-risk business.

'Course on the bright side, there's no such thing as a plastic horse slaughter industry. This reeks of 'pet rock' to me. Hmm I wonder how they do A.I. with plastic stallions and mares (some of them aren't TB and can do that in the 'real world')...and are there plastic teaser stallions?
