Sorry to hear about your stillborn Heartless Junction filly. All Starfish stallions come with a Live Foal Guarantee so if you would like to rebreed her to Ancient Magic, that won’t be a problem. Ancient Magic has a Mar 3 slot available so she should be able to be bred on Mar 31st. I have tried to put her in for that slot and adjusted the fee, but, while I can reserve the slot for your stable, Heartless Junction isn’t showing up in the drop down list of your mares.

Thanks Lewis, I appreciate it! I hadn’t noticed, but Heartless was also retired by the script so I’ll send another mare Ancient Magic’s way.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
GCh. Dark Debate x Mango Delight - NCh. Ducati
8.3h chestnut colt
Surprised the name wasn’t taken yet! Bred to be a dirt runner and likely a late bloomer. Hoping this cross will result in a runner that has a long peak period.
Mango Delight will not be bred for 2028, but is up for lease!
WAY OF KINGS
GCh. Pass the Buck x Ch. Noiseless Throne - WCh. Gotta Go (G)
9.1h dark bay colt
Named after a Brandon Sanderson book, one of my favorite authors. Noiseless Throne has no foals of running age yet, but I’m excited to see how her offspring will do because I love her lines. Way of Kings should be another dirt specialist in a few years.
Noiseless Throne is off to visit Devil’s Heir next.

SOOT
FFCh. Black Cherry (B) x NCh. Ring of Smoke (B) - ICh. Ring of Fire (S)
Bred by Cricket Hill
9.1h black filly
I was very happy to purchase Ring of Smoke last month and she gave us a gorgeous filly today! I’m stoked about finding this name tying into both parents AND the beautiful, full-black coloring of this filly! She’s half to MSW City of Roses and bred to be a classic/endurance turf runner. Looking forward to seeing her hit the track
Ring of Smoke will visit Tense Imagination next, hopefully.

Stillborn filly
Ch. Honeydukes x Tantalizing (B) - Created
Unfortunately we had our second stillborn of the season. Tantalizing tragically died. We were lucky enough to acquire her 2024 foal Tabaxi late last year, so at least we keep her lines at the barn.

Very pleased with this play on her parents names, lol. First foal for this mare, who is one of a small (but growing) number of broodmares that have raced under Gotapa Silks. Tell Mama raced succesfully from 2-6 and is out of golden-ranked Etta James, so I’m excited to see how her progency will do.
