Black Storm West 2022 Foals

Sorry about Candy Girl, her final filly is lovely.

Also love Star of the Sea and Tinseltownthrodown. :slight_smile:

[color=blue]LEPRECHAUN CITY, 8.2h bay colt
ICh. City Upon a Hill x Ch. Daytona Weekend - A.P. Indy (S)
Someone did not want to wait! Originally due April 7th, this little guy was named in honor of the holiday and his small size. Half to SW [color=blue]Ch. Days of Thunder. Daytona Weekend was a MSW and G1 placed; this is her fifth foal. She will visit Silver Wizard next.

[color=blue]23 Colts | [color=red]20 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 2 Mare Deaths – 42 due

Awesome name! Congrats on a healthy foal!

NIce colt.

Had a few renames…

A.P. Wildcat (Unabridged x A.P. Impala - A.P. Indy) to [color=blue]Novelist
Isengard (Simply Heroic x Chartres Blue - Strider) to [color=blue]Caecias (northeast wind)
Bradbury (Starling x Midnight Return - Magic Cross) to [color=blue]Grimalkin (term used for a witch’s familiar, usually a cat, such as the one from Macbeth – bonus: a Shakespeare enthusiast introduced the starling to North America)
Sugared Violets (In The Navy x Candy Girl - Those Will Do) to [color=red]Sea Candy

Love all those names. Especially jealous of Grimalkin.

[color=red]ILVERMORNY, 8.0h dark grey filly
NCh. Hogsmeade x Bold Firefly - Secretariat (S)
Third foal for Bold Firefly and half to MSW [color=red]Spill Your Secrets. Dam is half to MSW’s NCh. Allinvain and NCh. Alakazam. Will visit Worthy Victor for 2023.

[color=blue]SIOTHUIL, 8.1h bay colt
WCh. Sionnach x Wise Prospect - GCh. Street Wise (B)
Name means “peaceful.” From the same family as MSW’s Ch. Ambrosia, Ch. Spirit Away, GCh. Makemeamatch, and Ch. Catwoman. Wise Prospect will visit Nobly Regal next.

Stillborn colt
NCh. Holy Warrior x Ch. Filly from Chile (B) - Bold Ruler (S)
Hoping to send Filly from Chile back to Holy Warrior to try again.

[color=blue]24 Colts | [color=red]21 Fillies | 2 Stillborn | 2 Mare Deaths – 39 due

Drat, I should have snagged the Ilvermorny name. :wink:

Sorry about your colt. :frowning:

Colts, colts, colts.

[color=blue]HOMESTEAD, 8.3h bay colt
NCh. French Ruby x Chase Me Home - Almost Home (S)
Second foal and colt for Chase Me Home, who is out of gold-ranked Chase the Wind. Both parents were late bloomers so I imagine he will do likewise. Chase Me Home will visit Holy Warrior for 2023.

[color=blue]LOMBARDY, 8.2h dark bay colt
NCh. Bellagio (S) x GCh. June My Love - Created
A few days early but doing well! Out of my favorite mare/MSW June My Love, he is half to MSW [color=red]Ch. Lingerie, and SP’s [color=red]Juniper Tree and [color=red]Tendresse. June My Love will visit Unabridged next.

[color=blue]26 Colts | [color=red]21 Fillies | 2 Stillborn | 2 Mare Deaths – 37 due

Love the names. :slight_smile:

Arriving in earnest, now. Just 3 left for April.

[color=red]CARRY ME OVER, 8.1h chestnut filly
NCh. Straticus x Ch. Carry the Day - ICh. V is for Victory
First foal for MSW Carry the Day, who I purchased as a yearling, and whose granddam I also own. I suddenly feel old. Both parents excelled at mid to long turf with their best years at 3yo+ so I imagine this little girl will do likewise. Carry the Day will visit Blue Smoke for 2023.

[color=blue]DIAMONDBACK, 8.3h dark bay colt
GCh. Venture His Due x Laird’s Diamond - GCh. Highland Laird (S)
Fourth foal for SP Laird’s Diamond and half to 1 winner from 1 starter. From the same damline as WCh. Crystal Rainbow, ICh. Crown Jewels, and NCh. Orion’s Belt. Laird’s Diamond will visit Last for More, next.

[color=red]FROM THE HEART, 8.3h black filly
ICh. Chivalry (S) x Ch. GoWithYourHeart - Omaha (G)
Fourth foal for her dam and half to 1 winner from 1 starter. GoWithYourHeart is half to silver-ranked Steal the Show, and gold-ranked Ch. First and Only and Charades. She will visit Bear Witness for 2023.

[color=blue]28 Colts | [color=red]22 Fillies | 2 Stillborn | 1 Mare Retired | 1 Mare Death – 34 due

Lovely foals.

Lovely babies, also love the names.

[color=red]ATTAIN, 7.3h dark bay filly
NCh. Bear Witness x Ch. High Dollar - Seattle Slew (G)
This girl is TINY despite only being a few days early. Bred on a lease, I really liked the combo of Class Act/Highland Rogue/Seattle Slew. Dam is MSP with 1 speed record at 10.5f dirt. All 3 of her raced siblings are placed, no wins, but all very lightly campaigned and some inactive this year so hard to say what she might do. High Dollar has returned to Marshall Creek.

Just 2 left for April, and both almost a week overdue. Such are mares.

[color=blue]28 Colts | [color=red]23 Fillies | 2 Stillborn | 1 Mare Retired | 1 Mare Death – 33 due

Lovely filly.

lovely babies and lovely names!

[color=red]CAROLINE AFFAIR, 9.2h black filly
ICh. First Born Son x Tellthecaptain (S) - Seabiscuit (S)
Sixth foal for her dam. Half sister to MSW [color=red]Ch. Captain’s Pride and SP [color=blue]Dark Caster. Named for an incident in the early 19th century when British forces took an American ship, lit it on fire, and sent it over Niagara Falls. Which sounds amazingly overly dramatic. She will visit Nobly Regal, next.

[color=blue]28 Colts | [color=red]24 Fillies | 2 Stillborn | 1 Mare Retired | 1 Mare Death – 32 due

ahaha love the name, that does sound overly dramatic!

hahahaha love this filly!

[color=blue]FAFIOTTE, 10.2h brown colt
NCh. French Ruby x Ch. Little Black Dress - NCh. Bellagio
24 days late and this boy finally arrives to complete the April babies! Named for a French fashion house, he is the second foal and colt for his dam, a SW/SP of over 280k who set 2 speed records. Most of his damline is FF owned and untested, so hard to say what he’ll do. Will definitely be a late bloomer, though. Little Black Dress will visit Edinburgh next.

[color=blue]28 Colts | [color=red]25 Fillies | 2 Stillborn | 1 Mare Retired | 1 Mare Death – 31 due
