Pedigree Query

Posted: **Fri Apr 14, 2006 5:47 pm**

Touch of the Blues should be a incoming freshman stallion. Does anybody know about his progeny situation? He's got the following data entered in the stallion register:
Touch of the Blues (FR) by Cadeaux Genereux (GB) at Irish National Stud for 5,000 Euros --went to stud in 2004.

I noticed him in the database while I was looking at the Makers Mark info for this year and it says no progeny but surely some have been registered. Anybody got a look at the young'uns or have data for some so we can get his info going?

Oh and just curious, is he what you'd classify as a blood bay? Here's his pic.

incoming freshman? You mean to the states or in Irleand where the BH register shows him standing?

Yes...Blood Bay.

His first crop are yearlings this year. I just went searching for my Goffs catalogs to see some sales data, but someone has taken them from their spot-Grrrrrrr! Anyway, you can look up the Goffs November sale and this past February sale and see what they sold for. I had a look at some of them and really nice foals. Lots of substance to them.

Er, sorry for the confusion. I too was not sure what was going on because my math got a bit fuzzy. BH has him going to stud in 2004 so that means the foals aren't born til 2005 :oops:

I hate it when I do that. Totally explains why nobody's registered yet.

Thanks for the update teb.

Mind you, his dam is halfsister to Indian Skimmer, and Cadeaux Genereux ain't doing too bad in Europe!!!

Expecting one very soon, a very sound racehorse himself.

carbon copies.....

I am envious of you.

did you breed to sell or will you be bringing this one up to the track yourself?

Thanks, not sure yet, she's not worth much at the moment as her dams first progeny is a yearling this year and her pedigrees not hot. I'm keeping that one to race and than we'll see.TOTB's first crop race next year.

It's just a pleasure to look at horses like this. They look pretty darn nice and have this awesome character just standing there. There's something to be said for amazing presence.
