Just bought my first TB!

After having Arabs, currently have Paints, I have gone off and bought a nice Thoroughbred mare. Not knowing a heck of alot about some of the horses in her pedigree, I was wondering if someone wanted to take a look at it and check out her breeding. Also trying to get a little more info on Ole Bob Bowers, but can't seem to find much on the internet other than he was bad-tempered.
My mare is Ms Saint, and she is on the database here: http://www.pedigreequery.com/ms+saint

So, did I make a good buy?

Actually, she has a pretty decent female family, with some stakes horses. Her dam was graded stakes placed. The family looks like it was nicely managed in a regional program. I don't know about Monetary Gift as a broodmare sire, though, but this mare is better than some I have seen who have pretty blank pages....

Congratulations on your first TB!

Ole Bob Bowers, I heard was nasty and he passed that temperment
on to his most famous son - John Henry!

I suggest you review the info on recent sales results before you breed her.

You can purchase yearlings and short two year olds a lot cheaper than you can raise them. Actually you can many times purchase them for less than the breeding fee.

Cashier's Dream was by Service Stripe out of a Monetary Gift Mare. It's a good cross. I would even try Service Stripe's half brother, Where's the Ring, who stands in Canada.

Monetary Gift was a leading sire here in Michigan until his death.

Hello Gayle,
Congrats with your new mare. I can tel you I have lots of memories about my elderly chief editor writing stories about that famous John Henry out of a rather undistinguised sire Ole bob bowers, yes even in Europe we heard from him in that time without internet of course!! Lots of luck with her.

Thanks all for the info. As for breeding her, well that will be a long ways down the road, if ever. :-)

No TB's in my neck of the woods, just lots of Paints and QH's.
And i can't seem to figure out the image. I click image, but it doesn't ask for the pic? Oh well.
