Black Storm 2017 Crop

Love the name. Congrats on the healthy DTB foal!

Nice :slight_smile:

You’ve got some great names.  Congrats on all the babies so far.

Let the March babies begin!

[color=red]Wedding Chorale, 9.0hh dark bay filly
NCh. Black Warrior – Castleonacloud
Castleonacloud uncrossed her legs a day early to deliver this lovely Black Warrior filly. Castleonacloud hit the board in 7 of 10 starts before being retired far too early (all as a 4yo), so it’s hard to tell how she could have been on the track. To add to it, her oldest foal, now 3, has never raced, so she’s unproven as a broodmare. After a quick Google search, I discovered Castle on a Cloud was a song from Les Miserables, so we picked Wedding Chorale, another song, for the name! Wedding Chorale looks like a darker version of her mom – with the single ermine on the opposite front leg. Castleonacloud has been sent to French Ruby for 2018.

Love the name. :slight_smile:

Cute foal!

[color=blue]Get the Axe, 8.1hh black colt
Empire Maker – Cherry Cheesecake, by Distinct Possibili (S)
This is Cherry Cheesecake’s first foal, and he was a bit of a shock given dad is bay and mom is strawberry roan. He’s pure black without a single speck of white. With both parents unproven, and Cherry Cheesecake’s only breed-age sister unproven, it’s hard to tell how he’ll turn out. I was just happy to finally get a colt! Cherry Cheesecake has been sent to Take Me Away for 2018.

[color=red]Song of Myself, 8.1hh chestnut filly
ICh. Dark Continent x Jazzify (B), by GCh. Jazz It Up (G)
Jazzify decided she’d had enough and foaled almost a week early. Named after one of my favorite Nightwish songs, Song of Myself is a half-sister to SP Ch. A.P. Goodyear. Jazzify has been sent home to French Ruby for 2018.

[color=blue]7 colts | [color=red]13 fillies | [color=green]1 stillborn | 15 to go

Cool. Names

In typical fashion, my overdue mares remain overdue and two mares went super early. But I finally have some boys!

[color=blue]Bluejay, 8.0hh brown colt
NCh. Joyeux Oiseau – Blues Baby, by GCh. My Lucky Day (S)
Foaled 3 days early, Bluejay is Blues Baby’s second foal. Blues Baby is a half-sister to MSW’s GCh. Glory Halleluia and GCh. National Anthem. Joy’s first crop won’t race until next year, so who knows how he’ll be once he’s older! Blues Baby has been sent to French Ruby for 2018.

[color=blue]Carouser, 9.2hh dark bay colt
NCh. Bellagio (B) – Choreographer (B)
Carouser arrived nearly a week early! He’s a half-brother to SW Ch. Notable Dancer. Bellagio’s oldest crop just turned 4, but he’s only had 12 runners (with a promising 5 winners and 1 stakes winners), so I’m hoping Bellagio’s true potential as a sire will come out once his larger crops start hitting the track. Choreographer has been sent to Joyeux Oiseau and will be placed in the Black Storm Auction later this month.

[color=blue]9 colts | [color=red]13 fillies | [color=green]1 stillborn | 13 to go

Nice boys. :slight_smile:

Love the name Bluejay.  I wish I’d thought of that!

Agreed. Bluejay is an awesome name. =)

[color=blue]Possessed Chai, 9.2hh bay colt
FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood (B) – Ch. Whispering Embers, by Fire ‘n’ Smoke (B)
My first victim of the funny horse name randomizer, haha. Whispering Embers held on an extra five days before delivering this big TMTH foal. Whisper was a pretty consistent runner from 3-5 and a G1 winner at 5; this is her third foal. She’s been sent to Joyeux for 2018.

[color=blue]10 colts | [color=red]13 fillies | [color=green]1 stillborn | 12 to go

Nice one :wink:

Yay, Kermit baby and name generator. :slight_smile: Nice colt.

Dude, that name sounds delicious. Want chai now.

Good luck with him.

[color=red]Isabelle, 8.2hh flea-bitten gray filly
NCh. Joyeux Oiseau – Meant to Be (B), by NCh. Moonover Boy (S)
She looks just like her dad! Isabelle is a half-sister to SW Pride Lands; Meant to Be has produced 3 winners from 3 runners so far. She’s been sent to Formal Occasion for 2018.

[color=red]Kissing Book, 9.3hh bay filly
WCh. As You Wish (S) – Ch. My Lady’s Princess, by ICh. Worth the Wait (B)
The name ‘kissing book’ is from a direct quote from the movie, The Princess Bride, in which the grandson asks, “Is this a kissing book?” This is My Lady’s Princess’ third foal and I’m excited to see how her oldest does this year; she’s a half-sister to NCh. Government Secret (B), Ch. Legendary Lady (S), GCh. Ladylove (G), and Lady Barton (S). My Lady’s Princess has been sent to Drum Major for 2018.

[color=blue]10 colts | [color=red]15 fillies | [color=green]1 stillborn | 10 to go

LOVE the name Kissing Book!

Me too. The Princess Bride is awesome.

Some good names this year :slight_smile:
