My first foal by his sire I’m hoping he inherits some of his talent!
His dam an older mare one of my best producers, I’m sure she will pass on her good genes.she has produced all winners so far and several ch. I’m hoping we have a winning combo again with this colt, with more than a touch of his daddy’s talent!

he is 1/2 to ch.Classic Magic(g),ch dance Mage(g),Ch.foolish(g),and Ch. Magic Carpet Ride (f)

Her sire is new on the block but he had a long career with his best seeming age 3 and on turf, and coming from pretty well known bloodlines
Her dam ran her best at 3 on turf too so hoping this filly loves it. Both her grandsires/dams are chef de race/reine de course and parents are pretty big names too. With her pedigree I had to have her!
With both sets of parents stellar pedigrees hers hoping for a star here!

His predicted height is 16-17h
Most everyone knows the stud Spock so no need to go into details there! :slight_smile:
His dam like I stated above produced most all winners and 1 Ch. I got her 1/2 way through her broodmare career so not sure how her older foals raced. So far the ones she’s given me have proved to be decent runners, only sad I do not have a filly to carry on her line. Her 15/16 colts will be my most anticipated ever from her; leaving me a Nightfight yrlg, and her baby by Spock!

Well I only had his sire for a while, bought him already a stud, he had a very good record,being created he could give me any number of combinations for a runner.
His dam didn’t seem to care for racing so was retired to brood, this is her 4th foal, her last one was stillborn so was happy to see a live healthy baby.
She seemed to like turf best, and so did his sire so here’s hoping for a turf monster!
