Been out of town a few days, so only highlighting a handful.
GREAT WAR, 9.3h dark bay colt
GCh. Zadar x Farewell to Arms (S) - ICh. Candidate (S)
This boy was highly anticipated. Half to MSW Ch. USS Vengeance and MP Aureus Stella, both of whom we leased last year and renewed their leases this year. Farewell to Arms was bred on a lease and has returned to RC Bee.
INTO THE WILD, 8.3h grey colt
NCh. Quintet x Ch. Wild Countess - Count Fleet (S)
Third foal for MSW/MSP dam, who was a MW on turf but excelled mostly at SC. Hoping he takes after his sire, more! From the same damline as GCh. Hearts Are Wild, GCh. Wild Fool, and GCh. Legends Last. She will next visit Devil’s Heir.
[color=red]GOLDAZURA[/color], 9.3h chestnut filly
ICh. Calle de Oro x Ch. Queen Anne - Bold Ruler (S)
Fillies have just surpassed the boys! This big girl needed an extra week in the oven. Fourth foal for MSW/G1W dam, Queen Anne’s oldest foal is a placed 3yo, but she’s half to two platinum mares so I’m very excited to see what her foals do with time. She has been leased.
[color=red]CATHEDRAL STONE[/color], 10.0h chestnut filly
WCh. Strike It Rich (S) x Chartres Blue - WCh. Strider (S)
Second foal and first filly for her dam. Chartres Blue was a multi-winner at 4 and 5, being unraced at 2 and unplaced at 3 so there’s a good chance she’s a late bloomer. Chartres Blue will visit Straticus for 2024.
One little girl didn’t want to wait another 2 weeks.
[color=red]KITTY COGNAC[/color], 7.2h black filly
GCh. Venture His Due x Sylvester - ICh. Alley Cat (S)
First foal for her dam, who was unraced at 2-3 but was G1P at 5. Venture His Due’s first crop hits the track this year so it will be interesting to see what she might do. Hopefully she’ll at least grow! Sylvester has been sent to Frosted for 2024.
[color=blue]LABRADOR[/color], 9.3h dark grey colt
NCh. Away The Lads (B) x Ch. Lucky Major - GCh. Major’s Flight (B)
First foal for SW and G2P dam. His dam is half to 3 MSW’s including silver-ranked GCh. Lupe Valez. Bred on a lease, Lucky Major has returned to Marshall Creek.
[color=red]MRS. MAISEL[/color], 10.0h black filly
NCh. Lucky Streak (S) x Comic Debut - GCh. Dixie Time
First foal for her dam. Definitely a wildcard, as her dam was lightly campaigned and her closest family unproven as producers. But Lucky Streak is a solid sire and Comic Debut’s damsire is Planet Hollywood and her damline traces back to MSW’s NCh. Hidden Destiny and NCh. Al Mundhir. Comic Debut will visit French Ruby next.
[color=blue]TINSELTREE[/color], 8.2h black colt
GCh. Zadar x Tinseltown - FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood (S)
Second foal for MW dam. Tinseltown did best at SC (2 speed records) and turf, and was a fairly early bloomer so I’m interested to see how her foals do. From the same damline as Ch. Turn n’Burn. Tinseltown will visit Blue Smoke for 2024.
Stillborn filly
NCh. Silver Wizard (B) x Fire and Ice (B) - ICh. Ring of Fire (B)
We just purchased Fire and Ice a few weeks ago so we are quite sad to see the loss of the foal. She will be bred to Bellagio.
[color=red]BALLET SLIPPERS[/color], 10.2h dark grey filly
NCh. Silver Wizard (B) x Ch. Opera Diva (B) - Sunday Silence (S)
It is slightly ironic we lost one Silver Wizard filly the same night we welcomed a new one. This big girl is half to 100% winners. Opera Diva is being sent to Talismanic for 2024.
AVAST YE, 7.2h liver chestnut colt
FFCh. I’m No Fool (S) x Song of the Sea (G) - Seabiscuit (S)
This little guy arrived almost 3 weeks early but both baby and momma are doing great. Half to MSW Ch. Sea Salt, SW Ch. Morecambe Bay, and SP Ch. Song and Sixpence, and 100% winners. Song of the Sea has been leased.
BONFIRE LETTERS, 8h bay colt
NCh. Worthy Victor (S) x Bold Firefly (S) - Secretariat (S)
Half to MSW Spill Your Secrets. Fourth foal for his multi-winning dam and first colt. Dam is half to NCh. Allinvain. Bold Firefly will next visit Holy Warrior.
COLETA TORTEL, 8.3h black filly
NCh. Holy Warrior x Ch. Filly from Chile (G) - Bold Ruler (S)
Named for a coastal town in Chile. Half to MSW Ch. Color Run, SW Ch. Caleuche, and SP Ch. Frost on Tap. Very happy to have another daughter of Filly from Chile, especially after delivering a stillborn Holy Warrior last year. She will see Calle de Oro next.
PTOLEMY, 8.2h bay colt
ICh. Dark Continent (B) x Ch. Talisman - WCh. Nightfight (G)
Fourth foal for his dam, whose only raced foal is a 3yo who has hit the board in all 4 of his starts so far. Dam is SW/MSP with a fairly unproven damline, so it will be interesting to see how she does as a producer. Talisman will see Straticus.
