Raven has raced almost entirely over fences and has won at a distances from 7f to 16f. He has a speed record over 8.5f
His sire was also a superb chaser at mid and shorter distances.
He would make an excellent sire for any steeplechase mare but I would expect him to also improve stamina with sprint mares and consolidate the ability of classic distance mares. He ran 48 races over 4 years and had only 3 minor injuries in that time.
Fee $10,000[/align]
Hi Gwen,
I had requested bookings to [color=blue]Painted Raven for three of my mares:-
[color=red]Last Nights Jitter (Mar 1)
[color=red]Fan into Flame (Mar 3)
[color=red]Meaning of Haste (Apr 2)
[color=red]Last Nights Jitter is ready to be bred and is being shipped to your stables. She is scheduled to arrive on Jan 10th and I wanted to get the OK from you to breed them then.
Both of the other two mares are currently in foal. [color=red]Fan into Flame is due around Feb 5th and [color=red]Meaning of Haste around Mar 11th. As soon as each one has had their baby, they too will be shipped to your stables in preparation for their “dates”.
Thanks.
all set up amd ready to go! Hope I press the right buttons 
Hi Gwen,
Can I please make a change to one of the bookings to Painted Raven?
I would like to send Franky’s Landed for his Mar 3 slot, instead of Fan into Flame.
Franky’s Landed is already in England whereas Fan into Flame is at home and would have to be shipped there. I had originally planned to breed Franky’s Landed with one of our Stallions but realized that it didn’t make sense to bring him back home from England at the same time as sending Fan into Flames over there, especially as they would both be bred around the same time.
If you could please change the booking and I’ll send Franky’s Landed over to your stable now.
Thanks.
