QUEST and TENPINS

[CA Michael]

Has anyone inspected these stallions and/or their foals? On paper they seems excellent value.

I looked at Ten Pins.. HATED HIM.
Tall, narrow and crooked.... I have the pictures.. just gotta find the cd they are on. I can send them to you.

He does seem like a good value though.

I also admit I saw him RIGHT Off the track. Maybe he has filled out some.

I have a huge, WIDE correct son of Unbridled to look at everyday so that could be the problem too

Tenpins....million dollar earner, 17 starts, Grade 2 winner, out of a Deputy Minister mare. So how many Deputy Minister mares do you suppose will be bred to Smart Strike next year? (sorry, off topic).

Hi Mike,

I saw tenpins and LOVED him. I would have sent a mare to him but he was so cheap you have to lose if it is a breed to sell. He was tall and had a TON of class.I'm going to buy one at Keeneland this year if I can get one for a decent price.

I've only seen one of his foals and that was one owned by Joe Littrel at Viking stud. Very nice baby.

Great kind of bubble horse I think.

Thanks. Both of these are on my list of horses to see the next time Im in KY.

Patrick--I saw your yearling catalogued in FT July. Looks very nice. Is it progressing well?

Bumping this post back toward the top, having read Madelyn's post about the Walmac deal on Tenpins for mares foaling outside KY.

Since I haven't sold the broodmare prospect from the family of Fabulous Strike yet, I need to consider him.

Anyone in addition to Karie & patrick see him & have an opinion?

Thanks.

Just about to post a welcome back Michael.. What a bummer.

For breed to race, I love Tenpins. He is a talented, gorgeous horse from a solid female family. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if Smart Strike becomes a sire of sires.

Maybe you should be asking what his babies look like, too, if you're getting mixed reports on his own conformation?
