BALESTRA, 7.3h grey filly
GCh. Dark Ages x Bold Wench (P) - Bold Ruler (S)
I am very sad to report the retirement of one of our most beloved broodmares after delivering a healthy, albeit very premature filly. As a broodmare, Bold Wench was our first and only mare to achieve Platinum status, producing 11 foals with 100% winners from 8 foals. Those foals include stallions NCh. Beratis and GCh. High South, as well as MSWs GCh. Brahminy and Ch. Batris, and SWs Ch. Brandy Alexandra and Ch. Battle Section. We are very lucky to own not just two sons of hers to carry on her name, but her daughters Brahmy, Bonny Swan, and now Balestra.
82 Foals: 47 colts | 35 fillies | 3 Mare Deaths | 2 Mares Retired | 1 Stillborn
So sorry to hear about Bold Wench! We’re very lucky to own Bacardi, who hits the track this year. Hopefully, he’s just as good as Beratis & High South 
HOLD ME BACK, 9h dark bay colt
NCh. Nobly Regal (S) x Hold the Cream (S) - Point Given (S)
Unfortunately we lost Hold the Cream shortly after she delivered. This was just her fifth foal, and I’m quite sad to lose her so soon as I had tried for years to tap into Cream of the Crop’s family (Hold the Cream was her half-sister). Half to SW Ch. Black Mirrors.
83 Foals: 48 colts | 35 fillies | 4 Mare Deaths | 2 Mares Retired | 1 Stillborn
POE, 9.2h black colt
NCh. Straticus (B) x Midnight Return (G) - Ch. Magic Cross (S)
I knew this might not end well with Midnight Return being being nearly 4 weeks late. She delivered a lovely big colt, and was promptly retired. One of my favorite mares, we had her for 12 years (I’ve been here too long). Midnight Return produced 10 foals, with 100% winners and 5 black-type foals including stallion GCh. Honeydukes. We also own her daughters Ch. Rosette and Midnight Dreary.
