RIPOSTE
NCh. Phenomenal (B) x Dark Assassin - NCh. Lasting Spirit (S)
7.2h dark bay colt
Tiny colt for this mare who comes from great breeding, but didn’t make a big splash on the track herself. This is only her second foal so still waiting on her foals to start running to see how she’ll prove herself in that regard.
JOSEON PRINCE
Knicks Go x Ch. Imperial Gesture - FFCh. High Chances (S)
10.2h dapple grey colt
Named as a reference to Knicks Go being owned by the Korean Racing Authority. A very big foal from a big mare. Her first foal is a SW, but didn’t have longevity on the track. I’m hoping another of her foals will have stakes potential and a bit more lasting ability.
LOLIGAGGING
GCh. Emoji x Ch. Loligo - NCh. Sunday Paper
7.2h mahogany bay colt
First foal for this accomplished MSW SC mare. I’ve had her from the time she was a yearling, so to have a foal on the ground from her is very exciting! This colt is 3x3 linebred to Sunday Silence, and I hope he likes the jumps as much as his sire and dam.
PIDWIDGEON
GCh. Honeydukes x Wren - NCh. I’m A Classic (S)
8.2h chestnut colt
Named for Ron Weasley’s owl. Second foal we have out of this stakes placed mare. Her older foals are all very lightly raced so it’s hard to tell what she’ll throw, but the first foal we have out of her has just turned 2 so hopefully she’ll give us a better idea.
FEMININOMENON
NCh. Phenomenal (B) x Bedazzled - GCh. Must Be Magic (S)
9.3h dark grey filly
With the sire and dam’s names I couldn’t help but make a Chappell Roan reference for this filly. Only the second filly for Bedazzled and the largest foal she’s thrown so far (from what I remember). Bedazzled’s other foals have run well on turf with short distances preferred, so that’s most likely how we’ll start this filly as well.
HOLD YOUR HALO
GCh. Emoji x Angelic Theory (S) - WCh. I’m Your Angel (B)
9.3h bay colt
This colt is 1/2 brother to Ch. Crack The Whip who is a SW and MSP over fences and MSP on dirt as well. While Angelic Theory also produced a SP mare on the turf, I’m hoping aiming for a steeplechase foal again will maybe reproduce the success of Crack The Whip.
SEATTLE STARLET
GCh. Fivel x Seattle Juilet - NCh. Seattle Sorcerer (S)
9.1h black filly
Excited for this cross, especially as Seattle Juilet’s foal, Ch. Pinch of Poison, has become a MSW over the last year.
THE YOUNGER LADY
GCh. Local Haunt x Princess Baketaten - GCh. Akhetnaten (S)
8.2h liver chestnut filly
Named for the mummy they believe may be Beketaten, the namesake of her dam. Princess Baketaten came to us as an unraced 4yo, and managed to become stakes placed through a short period of racing. She comes from a super producer dam, NCh. Untamed Horizons, and some of her half sisters have proven themselves to be solid broodmares so I’m hoping the same for her. Her first foal just turned 2, so I’ll be interested to see how she starts.
DOGWOOD
GCh. High South x Separate Garden - Blue Ensign (S)
10h black colt
A big first foal for Separate Garden, who preferred endurance distances on turf. Mainly keeping her in the breeding program as she has lines that are less prevalent in my herd, and her dam produced 2 MSWs and 3 stakes placed horses. Looking forward to how this colt does in a few years.
A little filly that’s here a bit early for this first time mom.
JAGUAR
GCh. Dark Debate x Irish Wildcat - NCh. Carrowmore
7.2h chestnut filly
Irish Wildcat barely placed on the track and had just one win in her career, but considering I purchased her as a 6yo I’m not surprised by that record. What she does have going for her, though, is that her dam was a GCH who scored SWs over both surfaces and produced 2 SWs and a MSW. Some of Irish Wildcat’s half sisters have also produced stakes winners as well, so fingers crossed she has some of those abilities
KEYBOARD WIZARD
GCh. Emoji x Highland Occult - NCh. Highland Wizard (S)
8h chestnut filly
Another mare with a similar story to Irish Wildcat, Highland Occult never proved herself in the track but she comes from a Gold ranked dam who produced 3 SW and 3 MSWs, one of whom was a millionaire. Her oldest foal is 4 and has been a solid allowance horse, but still waiting to see how the rest of her foals hit the track.
