At this point (hahaha) we’ll have 22 two-year-olds hitting the track next year.
[color=blue]Air Raid is from the first crop of Smart Strike. Will be interested to see how he does as a sire in the game, he’s certainly hot in real life! Air Raid is also the first foal out of Ch. Be Kipper whom we created and campaigned.
We are pretty excited about [color=red]Aoibheal, a daughter of FFCh. High Chances (S) out of the created mare Street Talk (G). High Chances is still in the early stages of his stallion career, his oldest foals will be 4yo’s next year. So far he’s done pretty well with 75% winners from runners and 16% stakes winners. Street Talk is the dam of 14 foals, all but two of them winners and the one is a 2yo so there’s plenty of chances for that one to break his maiden! She’s had a very successful career as a broodmare with 4 of her foals stakes winners and 3 of those multiple stakes winners including GCh. Street Wise (a Silver rated stallion) and GCh. Goliath.
[color=blue]Boo Radley is a son of GCh. Go For Dash (S) out of the Alydar mare Kill A Mockingbird. Go For Dash, now a retired stallion, saw great success in the breeding shed early in his career with progeny the likes of GCh. Hollywood Dash, ICh. Devil His Due and WCh. Gotta Go. Since then his progeny have had a bit of a tough time finding success but he does have small crops and does boast a 89% winners from runners. His 2yo’s next year will be one of his biggest crops so it will be interesting to see how they do.
Boo Radley is the first foal out of Kill A Mockingbird a multiple winner over fences, it will be interesting to see if he has any ability on the flat.
[color=red][Clemency is one of 8 Candidate two-year-olds we’ll have next year. ICh. Candidate had a quick jump start to his stallion career with 6 of his 7 foals in his first crop winners with one also a multiple stakes winner at two. His first crop of foals include multi-millionaire GCh. Madam President and MSW’s Ch. Solicitant and Ch. Super Tuesday. His foal crops have been small with only 13 foals of racing age. He has a good sized crop of 2yo’s next year so there should be more of a feel for how he’ll be as a sire.
Clemency is the first foal out of the GCh. Backseat Driver mare At World’s End, a multiple winner on the dirt.
[color=red]Good Intentions is another ICh. Candidate foal. She is the second foal out of the created mare Your Union, a multiple winner on dirt and turf. Your Union’s first foal is a 2yo and has won twice on the dirt.
[color=blue]Honor Guard is the third of our ICh. Candidate army. His dam Ch. Time For Honor is a daughter of Closing Time and was a stakes winner on the dirt. Her first and only foal of racing age is a two-year-old with 2 wins on the turf.
[color=red]Incandescent is yet another ICh. Candidate foal. Her dam Ch. Golden Quest is a daughter of the great sire and broodmare sire Rainbow Quest. She herself was a multiple winner over fences and was also multiple stakes placed over fences. This is her first foal.
[color=blue]Lupin is, you guessed it, another ICh. Candidate. He is out of the Satin Romance mare, Romance Me who is a half-sister to my starter horse and one of my favorite mares, Ch. Romancer who sadly died after giving birth to her first and only foal. So when we got the chance to buy one of her sister’s foals we jumped on it! Romance Me has produced 8 foals all of which are winners minus the 2yo who finished second in his last start. Her most notable foal is Ch. Not Another Mare a multiple G1 winner on the turf.
[color=red]Skater’s Brush is the sixth ICh. Candidate foal we have. She is the first foal out of Ch. Baby Book, a mare we created who was a multiple winner on dirt and turf and was also stakes placed on both surfaces.
[color=blue]Skulk is a son of ICh. Candidate, yes we’re still on those Candidate foals! He is the first foal out of the Gallant Fox mare Vixen who was a winner on turf and a multiple winner over fences.
[color=blue]Toothless rounds out the ICh. Candidate roster. He is the first foal out of the Heza Gallant Gent mare Ch. Sheza Belle. Sheza Belle was a winner and multiple stakes placed on the turf and was a multiple winner and stakes placed over fences as well.
[color=red]Diversion is a daughter of the highly regarded and now unfortunately deceased GCh. Highland Laird who is the sire of such names as FFCh. High Chances, ICh. Eternal Lady, ICh. Spectacular Lady, NCh. Formal Occasion and GCh. One Star Affair. His younger crops haven’t produced much spectacular yet but we know he’s capable of doing so!
Diversion’s dam, Ch. Detour is a daughter of the famous Cross Roads and she herself was a stakes winner over fences. Diversion is her first foal.
[color=blue]Fool Proof is a son of Point Given (S) who is a very nice sire with 32% stakes winners and 15% MSW’s including the likes of ICh. What’s Your Point, NCh. Get the Point, GCh. Go Home and GCh. Raindrops on Roses among others.
Fool Proof is the first foal out of Ch.Foolish Pride a multiple turf winning daughter of NCh. Boldness Shows.
[color=blue]Justa Bob is another son of silver rated Point Given. His dam Delaware Flyer was a mare we got back when the New Player Auction was still alive and though she never broke her maiden she has proven very valuable to us in the broodmare band. From 3 foals to race, all are winners. Her first foal GCh. Delaware Bound was a nice dirt horse, winning a few stakes races including the G1 Futurity as a 2yo. He also had wins over fences and was stakes placed on hurdles as well. Delaware Flyers other two foals of racing age are also both stakes placed. We are pretty excited to see what this guy can do.
[color=blue]Head of State is a son of Silver rated A.P. Indy who boasts 27% stakes winners and 15% multiple stakes winners including many national and grand champions.
His dam, Kelly King is a silver rated create mare with 100% winners from 8 foals to run including 2 stakes winners. Head of State is her last foal, she was euthanized after complications from colic about two months after being weaned.
[color=blue]Lucky Devil is another son of A.P. Indy. He is out of the Almost Home mare, Ain’t I Pretty. Ain’t I Pretty was the second horse I had on FF she was very good to me as a new player, winning on dirt, turf and over fences. We really looked forward to her foals but it was a tough few years the beginning of her career as a broodmare. Both of her first foals were stillborn at birth and we despaired of getting a live healthy foal out of her. Finally, her third try to become a mother was successful and thus ‘Lucky Devil’ was born. Really hope this guy can do some nice things!
[color=blue]Socialist is our third and final A.P. Indy foal for the year. His dam GCh. Soviet Nights was a very nice filly for us as a two and three-year-old with 9 wins, six of them stakes wins. This is her first foal.
[color=blue]Optical Illusion is a son of silver rated ICh. Dark Continent. Dark Continent has had a promising start at stud with his first foals 2yo’s he has 50% winners from runners and 15% stakes winners. He’s been doing pretty good at stud considering his competition is Nightfight!
His dam, Phantom Melody is a silver rated create mare. She’s been a solid producer with all 10 of her foals winners and 3 of them stakes winners including millionaire GCh. Townsend Phantom.
[color=blue]Psychic is a son of NCh. Seattle Sorcerer (S) who’s had a bit of a tough time at stud but does have 70% winners and 19% stakes winners.
His dam Ch. City Runner is a create mare who was a multiple winner on the turf. Her oldest foal, a 2yo by Boldness Shows is as of yet unplaced.
[color=blue]Scintillating is from the final crop of Almost Home, a silver rated sire of such horses as ICh. Almost Precious, NCh. Almost a Star, NCh. My Stupid Girl and GCh. Harvard Bound.
His dam, Ch. Brightly Burning was a stakes winner on dirt and a winner over fences. She is silver rated with 10 foals of racing age, all of them winners including two stakes winners and three others stakes placed. Brightly Burning is also the daughter of Shining, a silver rated mare whose fillies so far are nice consistent producers.
[color=red]Bold Tune is a daughter of silver rated GCh. Simply Heroic. He’s had a bit of an average career in the shed so far, though he does have 70% winners from runners.
Her dam Glittery Tune is an unraced create mare who has two foals of racing age, a 5yo who has yet to race and a 3yo who is a winner on the turf.
[color=blue]Spectrum is one that is going to be near and dear to us, he is a 1/2 brother to the afformentioned Romancer, it would be really sweet if we could get him studified! He looks like he might have a good chance at that, he’s a son of silver rated stallion WCh. Crystal Rainbow who has 58% winners, which is low but his foals look like they might mature a little later with a lot of his 2yo’s still trying to find their land legs. This would make sense seeing as Crystal Rainbow didn’t do his best running until he was a four-year-old.
Spectrum’s dam, Believe Me is a silver rated unraced created lines mare. All 10 of her foals but her 3yo are winners with 4 stakes winners, two of them multiple stakes winners and millionaires.
