Gotapa 2029 Foals

Unfortunately we had a mare foal too early this year. I also noticed I managed to breed her to two different stallions as I had her in my notes as bred to Cody’s Wish, but my stable budget shows she visited both Fight the Twilight AND Cody’s Wish. :joy:

AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
NCh. Fight The Twilight (B) x Deadly Devotion - NCh. Golden Text
8.1h bay filly

Sorry for the early baby! But great name.

First foal that actually managed to hold on till 2029 is here! Excited to get the season started!

FERNWEH
NCh. LiveLong&Prosper (B) x Verrückt - NCh. Space Chips
9.1h dark grey filly

Fernweh is the German word for a longing for far away places. It’s one of those words that doesn’t have an exact translation. Hopefully Fernweh will grow up to tear up the dirt track like her parents.

HARRY THE HORSE
ICh. First Born Son (S) x Bolt Away - WCh. Usain Bolt
8.1h strawberry roan colt

I promised my partner they could name a foal and this is what they picked. :joy: Harry is the first foal for Bolt Away. She wasn’t very succesful on the track, but I’m excited for her broodmare potential. Bolt is half to Nch. Away the Lads and four(!) GCh. titled horses. Harry is 3/4 brother to GCh. Born Risky. All in all expecting some power from this fellow when he grows up!

Bolt Away has requested a date with Mantle of Power for 2030.

BEAM ME UP SCOTTY
NCh. Secret Handshake x Enara Prime (B) - GCh. Secretsarebound (S)
9.2h black filly

Not too set on the name yet, so I might change it later on if it doesn’t grown on me. - I changed the name because I found out Enara Prime is a planet in Star Trek and though I know nothing of that universe I do know this quote. This girl is 1/2 to stakes winner Prime Appeal and two other SP horses. Her dam Enara Prime is also 1/2 to ICh. Exoskeleton who won 10 stakes (just missing that G1 to become a stallion) and some other (M)SW’s. Should take to turf when she grows up!

Enara Prime was going to visit Quintet, but I think he was just retired in the few days after I planned this match. Got to go back to my notes to pick another stallion.

Harry The Horse definitely needs to be a future FF stallion!

Congrats on the healthy new arrivals.

SAWDUST
Ch. Sawbones x Hollywood Set - FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood (S)
8.3h bay filly

First foal for Hollywood Set who’s out of gold-ranked Isetnofret. Hollywood is from the same damline as current stallion Cool Crusader and the line has crossed well with Oscillation before, so even though Hollywood wasn’t the biggest success on the track herself, I hope this girl inherits some talent from her lines. Hollywood Set will visit Holy Warrior next.

BELLAMY
NCh. Devil’s Heir x Elizabeth - ICh. Long Live The King
8.1h chestnut colt

Third foal for his dam, who’s first foal is a stakes winner at two. Could take to either surface when he grows up, so I’ll have some fun figuring him out when he grows up. Elizabeth is visiting Powerful Soul next.

HOME RUN
NCh. Lucky Streak (S) x Chase Me Home - Almost Home (S)
9.3h bay colt

Was really hoping for a filly from this breeding but it’s another colt for Chase Me Home who now has a grand total of 7 colts and 0 fillies. Home Run is 1/2 to SW Ch. Autobiography and a bunch of solid allowance performers. Should be a solid turf runner when he grows up. Chase Me Home will visit Palermo next.

SURPRISE PACKAGE
Cody’s Wish x Deadly Devotion - NCh. Golden Text
8.1h dark bay filly

Deadly Devotion gave us a bit of a mystery when she delivered Ahead of Schedule a day too early for the 2029 foaling season because in my notes she was expecting a foal by Cody’s Wish in early January. She has now shocked the FF world by delivering that foal today, meaning she had two foals by different stallions in the span of two weeks.I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them disappears, but for now they’re Gotapa’s miracle twins. Deadly Devotion is on her way to Flames of Passion.

GRIFFIN
ICh. Starling (S) x Ch. Legendary - NCh. Black Warrior
8.2h chestnut colt

Fifth foal for this MSW dam. Griffin is the first foal out of Legendary that’s Gotapa bred, but we also own his SP brother Eber Finn who’s a solid performer hitting the board 8 out 10 races. Griffin is als 1/2 to SW Thieves Guild and there’s a bunch of superstars in his lines, so excited to see this guy grow up! Legendary has a request in for All That Appeal for 2030.

PIECE OF CAKE
Cody’s Wish x It’s in the Bag - WCh. Drum Major
7.3h bay filly

Surprised that the name wasn’t taken yet! Though neither Cody’s Wish nor It’s in the Bag have any foals on the track yet, I’m expecting this girl to take to turf running. Her oldest sister will hit the track this year so by the time Piece of Cake is old enough, we’ll have a better idea what her lines produce.

It’s in the Bag probably won’t be bred for 2030 and would be available for lease, but I seem to have run into a bug and I’m unable to put up any broodmares for lease so we’ll see.

MARIE CURIE
Nyquist x Europa - Ch. Tryst of Fate
9h black filly

Named after the famous Polish physicist and chemist end the first woman to win a Nobel prize. Marie Curie is half to SW’s Ch. Cadmus and Ch. Caranus. Could take to either dirt or turf, but we’re hoping she’ll be an all-rounder!

Europa is on her way to Space Chips

THICK AS THIEVES
NCh. Gang of Thieves (B) x Ch. In Your Honor- NCh. Mr. Prospective
10.1h dark grey colt

Big colt for In Your Honor who sadly passed away during birthing. This is Gotapa’s first foal out of her, but we also have her 1/2 sister in our breeding string so her legacy will live on. Definitely bred for turf.

DUSK CHORUS
NCh. Fight The Twilight (B) x Ch. Mañanita - ICh. Gunningdownromance (S)
