IN HOLLYWOOD, 8.1h bay colt
NCh. Too Stressful x Ch. Hollywood Sunset - Ch. Rumor Has It (G)
We just purchased Hollywood Sunset a week ago after being on the hunt for a Rumor Has It daughter, as he suddenly became a gold-ranked broodmare sire. Hollywood Sunset was a G2W and set a speed record on the track. This is her first foal.
CLOUD OF SMOKE, 9.3h bay filly
ICh. Blue Smoke (B) x Ch. Keepyourspiritsup - GCh. Jazz It Up (S)
Big filly needed a few extra days in the oven. Hoping for good things on a Blue Ensign/Jazz It Up cross. Keepyourspiritsup is half to 3 MSW’s, including Ch. Spiritual, whom we own. Bred on a lease, Keepyourspiritsup has returned to Denoux Stud.

So close to the end!

Colts trying to make a comeback. Both mares will be given a break in order to “reset” their breeding dates for 2025. Maybe they’ll give me a second filly at some point.
STRAIGHT FLUSH, 9.1h bay colt
ICh. Gunningdownromance (S) x Fortune Teller (G) - War Admiral (S)
Shocked the name wasn’t taken! Full brother to MSW Ch. It’s Not You, and half to SP Ch. Jinx.

CHASE THE GIANT, 8.1h liver chestnut filly
NCh. Quintet x Ch. Checking Giant - Giant’s Causeway (S)
First foal for MSW dam and from the same damline as NCh. Boldness Shows and WCh. Subzero Justice. Quintet is currently on fire as a 2yo freshman sire, so I’m quite excited! Checking Giant will be bred to Worthy Victor for 2025.
MERAKI PEARL, 8.1h flea-bitten grey colt
GCh. Spiritofsaintluis x Ch. Grey Pearl
Grey Pearl is a G3W on the flat but also set a SC speed record. Meraki means “to do something with soul/passion.”
Just picked up this guy from the Sales board but the game is counting him in my foal report so I’ll throw him in for mention:
SARV-E ABARKUH, 8.3h liver chestnut colt
NCh. Hidden Destiny (B) x Juniper Tree - NCh. Joyeux Oiseau
Named for the Cypress of Abarkuh (Sarv-e Abarkuh is the Persian name), a 4000+ year old tree in Iran. Juniper Tree is SP and an old homebred now with Generous Bloodstock, but we still own her dam and MSW half-sister, GCh. Lingerie. We don’t own any Hidden Destiny foals, so thought we’d take a shot.
50 Colts | 52 Fillies | 3 Stillborn | 1 Mare Death | 1 Mare Retired - 2 Due
Last June baby finally dropped 10 days late. Our final foal isn’t due until almost August, so we will low-key hope for a healthy early foaling because that is a long dry spell before wrapping up the foaling season.
BRONZE BULLET, 9.3h bay colt
ICh. Blue Smoke (B) x Tobin Bronze (S) - GCh. Secretsarebound
Half to SW Penny Jar and SP Scooby Snacks.
51 Colts | 52 Fillies | 3 Stillborn | 1 Mare Death | 1 Mare Retired - 1 Due
Might end up with a total even split this year!
SACREBLEU, 9.1h bay filly
ICh. Blue Smoke (B) x Fall From Fame - GCh. Stagehand (S)
My efforts to downsize the broodmare herd have gone awry as I picked up a couple new ladies, including Fall From Fame who foaled right on time to deliver this big Blue Smoke filly. I didn’t have any Stagehand daughters before, and he’s turning into a nice broodmare sire. Will wait for 2025 to breed her again.
51 Colts | 51 Fillies | 3 Stillborn | 1 Mare Death | 1 Mare Retired - 1 Due
Final mare, due July 29th, will determine if the colts or fillies win this year in numbers.
Nice filly. Such an even split of foals. Good luck with the final one.
FINALLY concluding the 2024 breeding season. I thought waiting for a late July foal was bad enough, but she decided to wait even longer. Never again.
BEWARE THE BEAR, 8.1h grey colt
NCh. Bear Witness x Ch. Can’t Catch Arrow (S) - Created
Picked up the dam, in foal, at last year’s Select Auction. Can’t Catch Arrow was a G2W and her only started foal was 2 for 2 before going inactive.
Conclusion: 105 Foals - 57 Colts | 58 Fillies | 3 Stillborn | 1 Mare Death | 1 Mare Retired
By far our biggest foaling season. Hoping to see a reduction in the next few years with more mares being leased.
