Some more bundle of joys to introduce as well as a heartbreaking announcement…
First for the good news:
[color=red]Be Yourself (WCh. Express Yourself X Ch. Summer Romance (WCh. Secret Of Love (G) X Summer Lovin’ (S)))
9.1H Bay plain bay Filly
This girl has a fun pedigree with my favorite guy Secret Of Love, a double dose of Secretariat, some Worth, Bold Ruler, and 3 mares with a combination of Gold or RDC rating. Can’t wait to see what this girl inherited!
[color=red]Dochas
8.3H Blood Bay Filly with a star (NCh. Carrowmore X Ch. Hollywood Hopes (G) (Planet Hollywood (CDR/S) X Eternal Hope (RDC/G)))
This girl is half to MSW Here’s Hoping and MSW 2014 2yo Filly Of The Year, Pursuasion, along with SW Home Free, SW Da Vinci, SW Pandemonium, and recent 3yo SW Hopes Fight. Can’t wait to see what the Irish River influence does! Her name means Hope in Gealic.
[color=red]Hot Charm
8.2H Chestnut Filly with a sock, star and stripe (Silver Charm X Point Blank (S) (Point Given (S/CDR) X Ifyoucouldseemenow (S/RDC)))
Silver Charms first batch will run this year and Point Blank has been pretty consistant with producing average successful winners. Will be fun to see what she matures into.
[color=blue]Real Magic
8.0H Bay Colt with a snip (ICh. Gunningdownromance (S) X GCh. Making Magic (NCh. Those Will Do (S) X Dark Magic (G)))
Making Magics first foal to make it to the track will race this year. Can’t wait to see what she produces.
Now for the bad news…
CDS suffered the terrible loss of our, (NCh. Gazelle (What’s It Worth (G) x Seeing Starz (G))X ICh. Spock), foal. Though, Gazelle is recovering just fine thank goodness. It seemed the foal got a bit twisted in the birth canal and our team couldn’t get him out in time. Gazelle has a date with Nightfight this year but will hopefully be back to visit Spock next year for another try.
Sorry to hear that you lost a baby, hopefully she is successful next year.
I would like to say I love Dochas , so adorable , I just love blood bays! And the rest are sweet too!
Thanks guys. Yeah, we are just happy Gazelle is okay. We just paid a pretty penny for her at last year’s Select Auction and it would have been devistating to not only loose her but to not get a foal out of her! But all is well and she’s actually recovering pretty well.
Over the course of the day we also welcomed 2 foals to CDS…
[color=blue]Laird’s Last Jett (GCh. Highland Laird (S) X Jettison (S) (Bright Fires (B) X Jet Set Go (S)))
8.0H Brown Colt with 3 socks
He’s cute as a button and one of Laird’s last sons to boot. He’s also half to MSW GCh. Doin Some Zoomin, SW What’s My Worth, SW Ch. Jettison, SP Jett Street, SP Ch. Debatable Issue, and SP Jett Black.
[color=red]Tell Me Your Wish (WCh. As You Wish (S) X Fortune Teller (War Admiral (S) X Trouble Ahead (G)))
10.0H Plain Black Filly
This handsome filly has legs and pedigree. She has 3 Gold rated Grand parents and has six different CDR sires including Secret Of Love, Secretariat, Bold Ruler, Cross Roads, War Admiral, and Man O War. Can’t wait to see what she does on the track.
Okay, time to get on with some great introductions and devestating death.
[color=red]Whirlywoo (A.P. Indy (S) X Ch. First Dance)
8.3H Dark Bay Filly with a tiny bit of white on her feet.
She is the second foal of MSW and G1 winning dam.
[color=red]Lucky Lilly (GCh. My Lucky Day (S) X Lit De Lilly (Lit De Justice (S) X Rouge’s Lilly (G)))
8.0H Bay Filly with a star and stripe
Third foal from Multi winning dam and has great dam lines on both sides. Should be a looker.
[color=blue]Sticky Fingers (NCh. Carrowmore X I Dash U Cash (GCh. Dash For Cash (S) X Ch. Bold Lady (G)))
9.1H Cheastnut Colt with a front sock
First foal from multi winning dam.
[color=blue]Macgregor (WCh. As You Wish(S) X Ch. Highland Lady (S) (Secretariat (S) X WCh. Highland Raven (G)))
9.3H Black Colt with a stripe and front ermine
Almost a spitting image of his daddy except a little less white on his face. We feel fortunate to have him since Highland Lady did not survive the birth. She was an expensive purchase and got 1 foal from her. This boy should be stakes quality for sure with the names in his pedigree. We decided to trace his name back to Highland Raven with a bird theme and landed on the Macgregor Honeyeater which is a black crow like bird and is considered a bird of paradise. Only fitting with his royal linage.
I know for real! And there are 3 more that i know are getting close to retiring or dying. This is for sure going to be a tough year in the breeding shed. Thanks everyone btw. Win some ya loose some.
I’m sorry you lost your mare I know you told me last night , it really bums you (general term) out when you lose one ,even though they aren’t real you get invested. I took a look at him last night he’s gorgeous! Love the name and the others are sweet too!
Yay no deaths! lol…we got a healthy colt on this leap year and we are excited to have such a rare birthday.
[color=blue]Leap For Keeps (ICh. Devil His Due X Grey Allusion (S))
9.1H Grey Colt with a bit of white
This cutie is half to 3 stakes winners, 1 Stakes Placer, and 3 winners. Her foals also have an average earning of over 250k. He should be fun to race and of course is name was influenced by his b-day.
