After a great deal of internal debate, I have decided to majorly whittle down my herd. This year was chaos, and with my dad now going on hospice (among other RL things), it’s looking like next year will be just as crazy.
I’ve set the auction to start on the 20th and listed 167 of my racers, broodmares, yearlings, and weanlings. The vast majority of the broodmares are bred for 2027. It was really difficult to give in and let a lot of these ponies go, but I feel like they will have better chances to shine while not under my management.
Some highlights:
Ch. Novelist (2022)
ICh. Unabridged (S) x A.P. Impala (S)
Winner of the 2025 Kentucky Derby, this dude already has all of the G1s he needs to qualify him for stud, but I just couldn’t figure him out this year enough to convince him to win any more stakes. He may still have the potential and just needs a different handler. (A.P. Impala is also listed in this auction.)
Ch. Revisions (2022)
NCh. Changeling (S) x Ch. Storybook Ending
Already a multi-stakes winner but so far hasn’t had any success at the G1 level.
Ch. Lasting Gold (2022)
NCh. Last For More (B) x Ch. Golden Fiddle (S)
Multi-stakes winner with all the G1s he needs for stud qualification. Lightly raced this year.
GCh. Undercover Agent (2015)
WCh. Double Cross (S) x Cool Breeze (G)
A multi-millionaire turf specialist. Her only existing foal at the moment is managed by FF and unplaced, but she is in foal for 2027 to our stallion, Final Scene, due at the beginning of January.
Plot Twist (2025)
ICh. Dr. Evil (S) x Chick Flick (P)
Yearling half-sister of turf stallion NCh. Flames of Passion.
