Freud

[Savana Star Dubois]

It has been a little over 2 years since I posted here or any board. ..since my filly was born February 2007..are there any owners of horses by Freud on this board..my baby is being broken and I'd like to know what your experience has been with this stallion's foals in training and racing..I really like this stallion

[reenci]

he's a mean SOB, and very high strung. and most of his horses can run.i saw him up close and personal just before the breeding season and decided against him.

[el camino]

I bred one, definately quality runners, a bit hot, tend to turn out front right. He usually adds bone, pretty movers in the mornings.

Fortunately Lani is very laid back and loves attention. she is the only bay that the mare dropped..all others took after the dam and were chestnuts and built like quarter horses..Lani is leggy and looks more like a colt, she was always the biggest foal on the farm..everyone who sees her says she is the best foal the mare had..so I am crossing every bone in my body hoping this is the one I have been waiting for, a quality race horse.I have had absolutely no success the past ten years..this is the last horse..I no longer own the mare

[Tappiano]

Good luck to you with her!

best of luck to you.....10 years ?.....hope you get a stakes horse...you have paid your dues.

[Savana Star Dubois]

Thank you all for your good wishes..the name of the filly is Mei Lani Capri in case anyone is interested in keeping track of her career

we have a nice Freud yearling at our farm that my brother owns and he just had a 2yo run 2nd in a Stakes race at Woodbine. Good luck with yours, here's a couple shots of ours.

Wow, what a nice Freud!

[Savana Star Dubois]

I concur with the statement above..what a nice Freud..spoke with the Owner of the training center a couple of days ago, she is almost 16 hands.and 2 years old.. he has begun riding her and at first she was very playful and having fun..probably thought it was a new game since she has a playful nature...here's hoping that she realizes the final game is being in front at the wire

Good luck with the baby

God, I love all the white he throws . . .that second picture shows a real nice drive to the wire! Best of luck!

is there much history yet of Freud as a broodmare sire? If so, what has he crossed best with? (suppose I could use Giant's Causeways numbers as a guideline).

[KBEquine]

You might want to look at Giant's Causeway's numbers -

Freud entered stud in 2002 & had 36 live foals recorded in 2003. Assuming a filly from his 1st crop was bred at 3 (in 2006) & foaled in 2007, his first daughter's first foal could have hit the track as a 2 y.o. no sooner than 2009, so there's not a lot of evidence out there, yet.

[Crystal]

There was another woman on this board who had a Freud foal.. I believe she commented that she had received feedback from his trainer about him being very level headed.
You won't find much info out there on him as a broodie sire yet and not too much on Giant's Causeway. The info you will find on G.C. will have to be taken with a grain of salt compared to Freud just due to the difference in the quality of mares each is getting.

[Hotwalker]

for some reason I was thinking Freud had been at stud much longer, so there would be more history, which isn't the case obviously. Physically, he sires a very attractive and balanced horse, which makes me think getting a filly off the track by him could be a good breeding opportunity.
