Forgot to make this thread until it’s already January 2nd whoops. We have a New Year’s Day baby, though, and today another pretty foal showed up.
[color=blue]Vox Populi is a beautiful black colt by Ace of Hearts-Super Tuesday, by Candidate. I felt the name, which is Latin for “voice of the people”, really fit the names of his parents. His dam was a good juvenile runner who didn’t do so well once she hit three. His sire was a late bloomer so here’s hoping he takes a bit more after his sire than his dam.
Super Tuesday is coming home for a date with the home stud.
[color=blue]Last Week Tonight is a handsome bay colt by Sunday Paper-Quorra, by No Duplicate. Named for John Oliver’s fantastic show. Quorra was a multiple winner; we’re hoping Sunday Paper will give her foal some class.
Quorra will probably also come home to be bred back to Karat.
New baby turned up yesterday but took me a while to settle on a name. [color=blue]Vigilance is a beautiful bay colt by Karat-What’s Honor, by What’s Debatable. I’m really hoping that Karat imparts some size since none of Honor’s babies are taller than 15 hands (The Time Lord is the tiniest at 14.3, wow).
Haven’t decided where to send What’s Honor. Might be one of the new FFH studs.
I totally did just name the stable’s newest face [color=blue]Poe Dameron after the wonderful rebel pilot in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Couldn’t think up a name for the Karat-Out of the Hood, by Robin Hood colt but after going through a billion Star Wars posts on Tumblr I just threw my hands in the air and went, “To heck with it!” He’s a beautiful bay like his father and comes from a solid female family.
A most beautiful foal appeared in the barn today. [color=red]Adamas is the spitting image of her 2YO full sister and a daughter of Karat-Diamond Prospector, by Mr. Prospector. The mare has given me nothing but fillies so far and the Karat sibs are both black with no markings. Interesting. “Adamas” is Latin for “diamond”, continuing the diamond-themed names for Diamond Prospector’s girls.
Diamond Prospector may go back to Karat for a try at a colt or to an FFH stud. Am also considering leasing her so that she can get a chance with stallions I won’t be able to use.
The foaling barn saw a new baby tonight, a lovely black colt by Karat-USS Enterprise, by Tiznow. His name was easy to figure out - [color=blue]SSV Normandy, for the original starship in the Bioware game Mass Effect because Bioware is running/ruining my life. i hope he becomes a classy turfer like his parents.
USS Enterprise is up for lease; contact me if interested.
[color=red]Justicar is a lovely flea-bitten grey filly by Belanso-Vishnu, by Irish River. The name is from the Mass Effect games; the teal deer version is that they’re asari warrior monks. Nuns? They live by a code and are sworn to wander the galaxy righting wrongs.
Vishnu is up for lease for $8k. PM me if interested in her and I’ll lower the price.
[color=red]Anticipate is a lovely bay filly by Worth The Wait-Spice Spice Baby, by Highland Laird, bred on the extended Worth/Rogue cross. She is from her sire’s last small crop so she’s just that much more precious.
Spice Spice Baby is up for lease. PM me if interested.
