CDS 2016 Foals

Love the names especially golden secret!

Lovely foals

Thank you. :slight_smile:

:smiley:

Two Fillies!!! 

Ah! We are prematurely popping some bubbly, lol. :slight_smile:

[color=red]Foolbetty
(FFCh. Foolhardy (S) X Ch. Opulent (Ch. Irish River (S) X Golden Princess (G)))
9.0H Plain Bay Filly
This is the second foal from this dam who is full twin sister to the new stallion Irish Gold, and is a multi G1 winner herself.  3/4 of this fillies grandparents are gold rated with the exception of Irish River who I don’t really consider an exception. :wink:  I don’t have a particular reason for her name. Just liked it I guess. :slight_smile: 

[color=red]Choose Me
(ICh. Highland Magic (S) X Maria’s Choice)
9.1H Grey Filly with 2 stockings a sock and a stripe
This is the third foal from this gigantic 17.3H mare.  Her first by, Strike It Rich, will start this year.  The only thing we really have to go on is that she has a great daddy and is gorgeous.  When I looked at her little virtual picture I thought she looked so unique.  If that’s possible. :slight_smile:

Congrats on your pair of girls, I got ampair of boys,lol. Love the name all I can think of is the tv show ugly Betty

Haha! I was thinking about the song Black Betty.

ooooooooooo i love that song!!!

Lovely foals,

(mine was due today so I’m definately getting jelous)

I just heard that song on the way from taking my daughter to school! How funny I had not heard it in ages!

Thank you. Still have one that was due on the 6th. But getting fillies made up for it. :slight_smile:

Thats hilarious! I havent heard it in a long time either. :stuck_out_tongue:

A bitter sweet day today at CDS.  Our prized broodmare NCh. Cross My Heart went into labor this morning and gave birth to a very strapping and healthy colt (only the third colt of 11 foals!).  Cross My Heart didn’t bounce back from the birth like she usually did, though, and just seemed exhausted.  After much deliberation amongst the staff here at CDS we decided it was time to retire Cross My Heart and let her live out the rest of her days here in peace.  We would rather have her happy and healthy for years to come than risk losing her next year.  So with that we have NCh. Cross Your Heart’s last foal to introduce today…

[color=blue]Kearney
(NCh. Carrowmore X NCh. Cross My Heart (G) (Cross Roads (S/CDR) X Heart’s Blood (G/RDC)))
~9.1H Black Colt with a tiny white ermine and a stripe~
This time I couldn’t be more happy we ended up with a colt.  Of eleven foals out of Cross My Heart he is only the third.  We felt The Black and Cross Roads would be a great match as well as the Lymerick, Miss Hayday, and Heart’s Blood Dam lines.  His half brother WCh. As You Wish will hopefully give him some pointers the next couple years because we would love to be able to stand this guy later on.  He’s also half to MSW GCh. Spell Breaker, SW Ch. Leopold, SW Spirit Of Love, SP Ch. Arizona Dream, and winners Only The Lonely and Winterhart. 
His name was carefully chosen to reflect his heritage and heart.  Kearney is an Irish name with the meaning of “Victorious Champion” and only thought it was fitting for this mares last foal.  Cross My Heart is retiring with a breed ranking of 9.4 Gold, eleven foals, and at 15 years of age. 

Cheers ol’ girl!

Congrats on a healthy colt, and glad CMH made it through OK! I hope she enjoys her retirement.

awesome colt, and hope CMH has a long and happy retirement…

Thank you. :slight_smile: I hope she does too.  I just felt so lucky to have got her from Storybook.  Now it will be interesting to see what happens with my 18, 20 and 22 year olds this year.  They are like my little band of golden girls with 37 foals between the 3 of them.

Lovely foal, lets hope he carries on his mum’s legacy,

At least she can now enjoy retirement

wow and i thought i had some older mares, congrats on the healthy colt i hope he gets studdified!!! and a very fitting name!!!

Thanks. :slight_smile:

Well, my staff are completely exhausted after last night…

Introducing:

[color=blue]BB King
(WCh. All Jazzed Up X Run Lady Run (B))
9.3H Liver Chestnut Colt with a bit of chrome
This dam only has 2 racing foals so far.  BB is half to SP Wizarly Lady, who is actually picking up even more this year, and winner Rahystrada.  Promising. :slight_smile:

[color=blue]Voidable
(NCh. Void (B) X Magic After Dark (Almost Home (B) X Midnight Magic (S)))
10.0H Black Colt with some white on his face
We thought the Planet Hollywood influence would work well with this cross.  He is the second foal out of this mare who is half sister to the great Magician’s Mystery (G).

[color=red]Singing Devil
(ICh. Devil His Due X Windsinger (B))
8.2H Dapple Grey Filly with no white
We just love the dapple greys and this little girl is so pretty with out any white on her.  She is half to 3 winners with one being SP.  We got this unraced created mare at auction for a cheap price and can’t wait to see what else she produces. :slight_smile:

[color=red]I’m No Dummy
(Smart Strike X Royal Secret (Secretariat (S) X Wonders Miracle (G)))
8.3H Bay Filly with a bit of white
This filly is the 3rd foal from this dam.  We feel fortunate to have a broodmare to carry on the Wonder’s Miracle line making her half to NCh. Gotta Be A Natural.  Can’t wait to see what the Smart Strike babies do! :smiley:

Current totals:

23 Foals : 13 Colts : 9 Fillies : 1 Stillborn : 1 Retired Mare

Nice lot, bet you can’t wait for 2017 now

Nice babies :slight_smile:. Wish mine would uncross their legs ,one at a time is driving me nuts!
