Coming to America
Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2013 12:04 pm
Hello Folks this is my 1st post here and I come with cap in hand looking for advice
I'm based in Ireland and currently own a broodmare by Gulch. She is in foal to Famous Name, foaling next March. Famous Name is the winner of 21 races and €1.5million from ages 2-7. http://irishnationalstud.ie/stud/238/famous-name.html
She is the dam of 8 foals
2005 Colt by Dixie Union (USA): placed at 3 in U.S.A.
2006 Colt by Speightstown (USA): 3 wins at 2 and 3 in U.S.A.
2007 Gelding by Empire Maker (USA): 8 wins in Canada
and in U.S.A. and $150,000+ in winnings (last won yesterday at 6yo)
2008 Filly by Vindication (USA): 2 wins at 3, 2011 in U.S.A..
2009 Filly by Street Sense (USA): winner at 3, 2012 in U.S.A.
2010 Colt by Bernstein (USA): Winner this year in Switzerland
2011 Filly by Manduro (GER): In training in Italy yet to run
2012 Colt by Amadeus Wolf (GB): going into training being aimed at Scandinavian Derby next year.
My questions are:
would it be worth my while bringing her next foal to the USA to sell?
Where are the best sales in USA?
How receptive would the Sales companies be to selling foals from outside USA?
Any other advise would be greatly appreciated, I know its a long way off and a lot of work between this and then but I like to hit the ground running
Thanks
