Love the names, Cat
Congrats on the lovely babies, Cat. I’ll be keeping an eye on them, especially since I own direct family members.
Thanks, guys. I’m psyched to have snagged them. =)
I went after three but sat on my hands once one went out of my price range. Still very happy with the two who came home with me!
[color=blue]Heavenly Crypt
14.0 liver chestnut yearling
Cryptic Ballad (B) (created) x Bright Future (S) (created)
Dam has had 3 foals to race, and all 3 are winners who seem quite successful at 2-3YO. Heavenly Crypt is 1/2 to Ch. Sirius Legend (by Starzen). Cryptic Ballad’s first crop of 2YOs started running last year, but he’s only had nine runners, so my verdict is out on him. I think this colt seems like he’ll be a fun little puzzle to figure out.
[color=blue]Scotch Highball
13.3 black yearling
Witness (B) (Class Act (G) x Time for Truth (S)) x Highland Madonna (S) (Highland Rogue § x Material Girl (B))
I couldn’t pass up this cute Rogue grandson. 1/2 to MSW [color=red]Ch. Lachesis and [color=red]Highland Ballad, a filly who had 2 wins in 2 starts as a 2YO last year and has yet to run as a 3YO. Witness’s first crops to race are quite promising, so I’m looking forward to seeing what this colt can do.
Due to a crazy RL week, I got to put my initial bids in, but completely spaced about checking back before it was too late. In the end, one of my initial picks still wound up at our barn for a mere $6,500. And bringing home one was probably for the best. Our barn is quite full!
We have named her [color=red]DO OR DIE - she is a 9.0hh bay filly by Ch. Gunningdownromance {S}, and out of Don’t Let Go (SP, x Affirmed). She was consistantly in the top 3 during her lifetime - just shy of 50% over a 3 year racing career. In addition to her 3rd place finish in the G3 Cicada Stakes, she also holds a speed record for 7.5f turf. None of her babies have raced yet, so we’ll see if she can produce. But with GDR as her other half, I have every expectation that she will be able to.
Congrats on the purchase of Cosmocello, imagine. I own his dam now, and am excited to see him in an active racing home.
Thanks Alyssa, I’m quite hopeful about him. I’ll be watching Do Or Die with interest too as I bought Don’t Let Go in the mare auction
Bought home one yearling (though I should have kept my nose out of it )
[color=red]Unnamed (Cryptic Ballad X Cure My Blues (Mr. Prospector)) 14.2 Liver chestnut.
She still hasn’t got a name, suggestions appriciated
I hope she runs well for you, as I bought her dam
As for name, Blues Ballad would be cute
