I didn’t get much free time to do entries, so only one of mine ran:

[color=blue]Ch. Zadar (3yo, What’s Your Point) won the G2 Jerome Stakes, his third stakes win. He’s still undefeated this year, so he’s one to watch.

5

That’s nice! I’m going to have his full sibling next year :slight_smile:

6

So I saw!  Smart move.  :slight_smile:
Apparently I’ve sold off a number of great broodmares, his dam included.  Figures!  ::)
I can’t wait to see the baby in the spring.

7

That’s why I hoard mares. Of course, then I sell their offspring who go on to become amazing after a few lacklustre years with me. :wink:

8

I’m planning to retire a broodmare which is “suddenly” silver ranked… I don’t remember her being even bronze :wink:

9

Don’t you just love when they magically figure it out after you’ve let them go? Lately I’ve just been making a list of horses to sell, and some of my ponies must be able to read because a few have made drastic changes after their names were written there.

The goal is/was to keep the race herd size to a “manageable” size by controlling the number of 2yos coming in each year… I think I’m very close to becoming a broodmare hoarding convert, though!

10

I gave up on that goal at least a decade ago. :wink: Now I’m just happy if all my 2yos can get to run as babies - though a lot of them do get left on the shelf for quite a while if their first (or second) start is uninspiring.
