Looking for foals of Diplomatic Moment

Postby HeidiH » Fri Apr 07, 2006 12:16 am

I am feeling nostalgic for my wonderful eventer Moscow Summit, by Stalwart out of Diplomatic Moment, who was euthanized in 2003 after a kick shattered his radius. Maybe some of you familiar with Northern California racing will recall Ron Hansen, the jockey who disappeared and his body was found in the SF Bay. I have a win pic of Moscow with Ron up - a little spooky.

I did a progeny search for other Diplomatic Moment foals and found a filly named Lively Melody by Stop the Music who raced up to 7 YO and had 52 starts (8-12-8, $175,598) in the Mid-Atlantic area.

I would have expected her to be kept as a broodmare. Unfortunately, she has no registered progeny and I am wondering what happened to her. I would love it if she is living the sporting life somewhere but think she might produce great eventers. Anyone have any info?

Also noted a half brother named Villa Del Sol (1996) by Well Decorated - anyone have any info on him? I did a BRIS search so I know his race record and last trainer and owner, but would love to know more!

Thanks!
