Quirky Scent

GCh. Quirky Scent - Stud Fee: $10,000
ICh. Prince Of Wonder x Ch. BreakALeg - Created
15.2h, Dark Bay
$1,285,450 in earnings, 444 points
Race Record: 29(26) - 7(7) - 6(4) - 5(5) - 3(2)
Dirt Wins: 7(7), Turf Wins: None
Sprint Wins: 4(4), Classic Wins: 3(3), Endurance Wins: None
Noteable Bloodlines: Townsend Prince, Townsend Holly

Highlights include wins in the G1s Cantala Stakes (2023) and Sunshine Millions Sprint (2024); G2s Wyndham Stakes Cup (2022) and St. George Stakes (2024); and G3s Aristides Stakes (2023) and Land Down Under Stakes (2026).

Winner at 3-5 and 7. Best year for wins was at 5YO. Successful on dirt at the sprint and classic distances. Retired with no injuries.

Quirky Scent was claimed from Final Furlong when he was 3, so he may have had more early potential that was missed due to a lack of training. He is currently the only stallion with Prince of Wonder in his bloodline, but he is related to Local Haunt through Townsend Holly and Ducati through Townsend Prince.

To anyone who placed breeding requests before I finished writing up this post, please check the slots I assigned to your mares. There was at least one that I had to give a later date because of overbooking. Let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

Hi there! Could I please get a March 3a (Dunharrow) for Quirky Scent, and March 2a (May Queen) for Tense Imagination?

Should be good to go!

May I please have Tense Imagination’s Feb 2b slot for WASP?

Got it! Also, it looks like WASP is a multi-stakes winner with no injuries, so she has been given the associated discount.

Could I get the Aug 2a slot to Tense Imagination for Cearnach please? She is a multiple stakes winner.

@AllegroThroughbreds I’ve arranged the Aug 2a slot for Cearnach, but unfortunately she doesn’t qualify for the discount as she is Bronze instead of unranked.

I sent you a couple for Charismatic through the game, but can I also please get the two July 2 spots for Highland Royalty (Gold, stakes winner, no injuries) and Baja Baby (Silver, Stakes winner, no injuries) and an August spot for each Phoenician (gold, stakes winner, 2 cuts) and Gummy Bear (Silver, MSW, heat in one leg)

Ok, here’s what I’ve got for you:

Highland Royalty - 75% discount since she’s a Gold-ranked mare with no injuries - Jul 2a
Baja Baby - no discount because she’s Silver-ranked - Jul 2b
Phoenician - 50% discount for Gold rank - Aug 1a
Gummy Bear - no discount because she’s Silver-ranked - Aug 1b

For the requests made through the game:

Indy Magic qualified for a 50% discount because she is an unranked MSW with no injuries.
Elm Street Dreamer qualified for a 75% discount because she is Gold-ranked with no injuries.

Edited to Add:

Black Rose - qualifies for a 25% discount but I had to deny the March request because Tense Imagination was already booked. Gave her the remaining May 2 slot but let me know if that does not work for you.

That’s ok, I read that wrong. Thank you!

Hi can I get the next available slot to Quirky Scent for Moniker please.
