LOVE the name Moontrance. Congrats on all the healthy foals.
Congrats on some very pretty foals!
Congratulations on all the healthy babies.
Sadly, after looking into our foaling record a bit more, I’ve realized that we also lost two fillies:
unnamed filly
SIRE: ICh. V is for Victory {S} (GCh. Jazz It Up {G} x Dark Victory {P})
DAM: Oh So Sharp {G} (Dr. Time {B} x Sweet Escapes {S})
March 9. I’m really upset at losing a foal from this mare, especially a filly. She would have been 1/2 to MSW Ch. Oh So Proud, SW Chicago’s Demon, SP Ch. Oh So Famous, and SP Ponte Vecchio. Thankfully, mom seems to be doing well and has been bred to Ducati for next year.
unnamed filly
SIRE: NCh. Bellagio {B} (Lonesome Glory {S} x Foolish Question {P})
DAM: GCh. Madd Karol (created)
March 10. This is the second foal we’ve lost from 5 foals from this MSW mare. She was one of my two starter horses, so she has an extra special place in my heart. Darn the luck! But again, mom seems fine and has been bred to Sleipnir.
26 fillies | 20 colts | 13 still due
2 stillborn
Sorry for the two lost foals. Rest of the bunch look lovely though.
Sorry for the loss of your fillies, especially from such nice mares. I hope their 2020 foals arrive safe and sound.
A Derby-day arrival:
NOTRE DAME - 9.3hh bay filly
SIRE: ICh. V is for Victory {S} (GCh. Jazz It Up {G} x Dark Victory {P})
DAM: Ch. Classic Irish (NCh. I’m A Classic {G} x Ch. Celtic Mist {S})
The name ‘fighting Irish’ was already taken, so I gave her the next best thing. Fourth foal (first filly) from this SW/SP mare.
27 fillies | 20 colts | 12 still due
2 stillborn
Nice filly! I totally forgot about Derby.
Love the name!
Three more!
POLYNESIAN PRINCE - 8.3hh flea-bitten grey colt
SIRE: NCh. In The Navy (Man O’War {S} x Dayatthebeach {G})
DAM: Mai Tai Princess (Almost Home {S} x Family Secrets {B})
This is the second foal from this multi-winning mare who set a speed record for 11f dirt at age 3 - the reason she’s in our breeding program. Her sire, while impressive, did better as he aged, so we’re expecting a late bloomer.
UPTOWN FUNK - 8.2hh dark bay filly
SIRE: ICh. Witness {B} (Class Act {G} x Time For Truth {S})
DAM: Uptown Girl {G} (created)
This is the seventh foal from this multi-winning mare. 1/2 to MSW Ch. Queen Catarina, MSW Ch. Newyorknewyork, and SW Ch. Goodnight Saigon. I couldn’t resist the name!
VIVACIOUS FOX - 9.0hh black filly
SIRE: ICh. V is for Victory {S} (GCh. Jazz It Up {G} x Dark Victory {P})
DAM: Lucky Fox {S} (Gallant Fox {B} x Here’s To Luck {S})
This is the fourth foal (and first filly) from this multi-winning mare.
29 fillies | 21 colts | 9 still due
While I was away, we welcomed several lovely new babies to the ranks and lost another one, too.
First, the stillborn foal:
unnamed filly
SIRE: ICh. V is for Victory {S} (GCh. Jazz It Up {G} x Dark Victory {P})
DAM: Highland Treasure {G} (GCh. Highland Laird {S} x Harada’s Treasure {S})
June 7. All of our losses this year came from prized mares, which is a shame. This girl would have been 1/2 to MSW Ch. Worth A Treasure and MSW Ch. Such A Fool. Thankfully, mom survived the ordeal and was cleared to be rebred. She is currently in foal to Bellagio for 2020.
Now on to the healthy arrivals!
MAY 19
GRECIAN GOD - 10.3hh bay colt
SIRE: FFCh. Foolhardy {P} (What’s It Worth {P} x Foolish Question {P})
DAM: ICh. Twilight Embers {P} (Ch. Irish River {G} x Evening Flame {P})
When the “worst” horse in your immediate pedigree is gold-ranked Irish River, you surely have a recipe for success - or so I’m hoping. 1/2 to MSW stud-qualified NCh. Fight The Twilight, SW Ch. Ciao Bella, SP Ch. Crucifix, and SW Evening Prayer. Needless to say, I’m wild about this one.
JUNE 1
ICE ICE BABY - 10.1hh chestnut colt
SIRE: ICh. V is for Victory {S} (GCh. Jazz It Up {G} x Dark Victory {P})
DAM: Ch. Hawaiian Ice (Bold Ruler {G} x Casino Maid {B})
