Cute name!
Thank you!
Suprise! Another colt is here
THE ROSE KING
GCh. Cool Crusader x Ch. Bold Lilly (B) - NCh. Boldness Shows (S)
9.3h light bay colt
The last of our Lit de Lilly mares to foal out, Bold Lilly is also the most established in the breeding shed. Her most successful foal to date, Charismatic, just recently retired to stud after a great career on the track. The oldest foal I have out of her had a successful 2yo debut at the allowance level, but still waiting to see if he has the mettle for graded races.
27 Colts | 16 Fillies | 11 Foals Still Due
Unfortunately we had a stillborn foal today. All things considered though I feel lucky that it took us this deep into foaling season to have any losses and that Popular is doing well herself.
Stillborn colt
WCh. Sionnach (B) x Ch. Popular - WCh. Express Yourself
This would have been the first foal out of a homebred mare for us! Popular was a stakes winner and multi-stakes placed as well. With Sionnach having retired there wonât be a repeat attempt unfortunately, so Iâll wait a little on deciding who to rebreed her to.
27 Colts | 16 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 10 Foals Still Due
Officially in the single digits for foals left for the year!
LONELY GIRL
GCh. Powerful Soul x Summer Elaine - Created
8.3h black filly
Keeping with the Weezer song name theme for all of Elaineâs foals, Lonely Girl is off the album âEverything Will Be Alright In The End.â Elaine is one of my few created broodmares who wasnât raced or anything beforehand so her foals are a bit more of a wildcard. Her two oldest foals are both winners though, so Iâve been keeping her as an outcross option for the breeding program.
27 Colts | 17 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 9 Foals Still Due
Congrats on the Powerful Soul filly! Good luck with her!
WILL GRAHAM
NCh. Cop in Morgue x Bridge the Gap - ICh. Unabridged
8.2h dark grey colt
Another healthy foal for Bridge the Gap! This colt is named for the main character of Thomas Harrisâ Red Dragon novel. So far Bridge the Gapâs oldest foal is a successful allowance horse and her second oldest, Bury the Hachet, is MSP over dirt endurance distances. Looking forward to what this cross will bring.
28 Colts | 17 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 8 Foals Still Due
Two more fillies after the drought!
PALESTRINA
Gun Runner x Threni - Oscillation (S)
9h chestnut filly
First foal for Threni who did her best at Dirt sprints in her 2yo year. Threni is named for a Stravinsky composition so I decided to name her filly after a Renaissance composer who I thought had a pretty name.
NASHVILLE NUIT
American Pharoah (S) x Ch. Lingering Test - WCh. As You Wish (B)
9h dark bay filly
Second foal for Lingering Test who was a MSW on dirt. This fillyâs name is a reference to the Egyptian goddess of night since Lingering Testâs dam is Deep of the Night. Hoping for a Kentucky Oaks prospect in a few years with this cross!
28 Colts | 19 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 6 Foals Still Due
SECRETZ OF NIMH
GCh. Fivel x Tiz Famous (B) - Created
9.3h grey filly
A nice big grey filly for Tiz Famousâ last foal. Both made it through the foaling healthy, but in a routine check after it was decided that for the continued health of Tiz Famous she should be retired. Whenever I see the name Fivel it makes me think of An American Tail, so this filly is named for another Don Bluth film. All of Tiz Famousâ running foals have been solid allowance horses, but she has had one standout with Bullet Proof who is a MSW millionaire on dirt owned by Sakura Springs. Hoping for at least a fraction of that performance from this filly!
28 Colts | 20 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 5 Foals Still Due
Congrats on the Fivel filly! Also here for the nostalgia of that name.
Fillies are on a roll now at the very end of the season.
LIGHTNING NIGHT
Thunder Snow x Ch. Shadow Play (G) - WCh. Nightfight (G)
9.2h black filly
1/2 sister to NCh. Ancient Ghost. Still trying to have our oldest foal out of Shadow Play find his feet, but with her being a MSW and producing a National Champion I have every confidence weâll see more success with all of her foals.
28 Colts | 21 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 4 Foals Still Due
The fillies are really rallying in the end here!
CONFECTIONERY
GCh. Honeydukes x Sweet War - Man OâWar (S)
8.2h chestnut filly
Third foal for Sweet War. She wasnât too proven on the track herself, but as a Man OâWar foal Ivwanted to try having her in the program. Her only racing foal is a late season 3yo so I havenât had him out much yet, but so far has always been in the money.
28 Colts | 22 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 3 Foals Still Due
Cute name!
Thank you!
Only 1 foal left now!
PETITE CROISSANT
GCh. Emoji x Hot Danish - GCh. Go For Dash (S)
9h mahogany bay filly
A pretty filly for Hot Danish. Sheâs thrown solid dirt and steeplechase horses so far, with one of her colts being stakes placed. This filly is bred for steeplechase, but weâll see what sheâs interested in when the time comes.
SPILL THE TEA
GCh. Emoji x Teeccino - WCh. Whatâs Debatable (S)
9.1h chestnut colt
Another foal bred for steeplechase. This is only Teeccinoâs 3rd foal and her oldest has been having a good debut over fences this year, so looking forward to what this cross brings!
29 Colts | 23 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 1 Foals Still Due
And with this filly foaling season is a wrap! Overall a good year with a bigger crop, looking forward to seeing how these foals mature!
CEMETARY DRIVE
NCh. Kemistree x Ch. Minor Scene - ICh. Dr. Evil
9.1h chestnut filly
Named for a favorite My Chemical Romance song as a nod to her sireâs name play on chemistry. This filly is a chestnut just like mom, and if she ends up having her damâs proclivity to turf I wonât be complaining. Minor Scene ended up running her best as an older horse and was MSP over endurance distances and even won the Melbourne Cup at the end of her career. Hoping for a turf endurance power house with this filly
