Vaucluse Farms 2015 Foals

wow 60 +  thats a lot of babies!!!  :astonished:

Nice cross! :slight_smile:

Two fillies to even up the colts to fillies ratio!

[color=red]Balaclava is a black filly standing at a nice 9.1h. Her sire is As You Wish, a World Champion racer with two crops on the ground racing. Her dam is Bank Robber who is Silver-rated and the dam of MSW Bashir (Gr.1), SW Ethereal Stars (Gr.3), SW Corruption (U.) and SP Behind The Mask (G.2). I may sell her.

I pretty much love your entire foal crop, from names to pedigrees to descriptions.  :slight_smile:
Good luck with all those little future monsters!

Thanks Alyssa!

Another filly…

[color=red]Mount Agung is a black filly standing at an impressive 10.0h. She is by Silver-rated Ring of Fire, a fantastic runner and doing reasonably well as a sire. Mount’s dam is Misty who was a decent winning racer who managed a fourth at Grade Three level. Her family isn’t overly impressive - one of my filler broodmares! This filly is named after one of the most sacred volcanos in Bali, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Summary: 29 foaled (13 [color=blue]colts, 14 [color=red]fillies), two stillborn, no deceased mares, 33 foals left for 2015

Lost a filly…

[color=red]Unnamed didn’t make it. She would have been by Prince of Wonder and out of Starz Aflame (daughter of What’s it Worth and Seeing Starz). Have sent the dam to Strike It Rich.

Summary: 30 foaled (13 [color=blue]colts, 14 [color=red]fillies), three stillborn, no deceased mares, 32 foals left for 2015

Sorry about your filly. :frowning:

Thanks… But another colt out of a Gold-rated mare was lost today…

[color=blue]Unnamed didn’t make it. His sire was Dark Continent and his dam was my Gold-rated Dark Love. I’ve sent Dark Love to Foolhardy. Fingers crossed for the next foal…

[color=blue]Itsakindofmagic however did make it safely and is a lovely bay colt standing at 9.2h. He is by Highland Wizard (Silver-rated) who has always been a favorite stallion of mine - perfect bloodlines… Magic is out of Coal Dust who won the Kindergarden Stakes (Gr.3) as a 2YO. She didn’t win any other stakes, but placed at stakes level right through to her 4YO year. This is her second foal. She has a Gold-rated sire (Run For It) and a Silver-rated dam who has produced all winners, so here’s hoping she does well herself as a producer! You’ll see this boy for sale most likely.

Summary: 32 foaled (14 [color=blue]colts, 14 [color=red]fillies), four stillborn, no deceased mares, 30 foals left for 2015

Cute colt. :slight_smile:

So sorry to hear about the DC colt; he would have been quite pretty.  You’re more than welcomed to send her or another mare to DC for free.

Two more arrived earlier this month…

[color=red]Point of Passion is a lovely black filly standing at 8.3h. Her sire is Silver-rated Point Given who has some nice runners on the ground. Her dam is MSW Torrid (Gr.2) who was a good runner and has Silver-rated parents on both sides (one side with Highland Rogue influence). This is Torrid’s first foal. I may keep this filly.

[color=red]My Ambition is a bay filly standing at 8.2h. Her sire is my Silver-rated stud Strike It Rich. Her dam Moonlighting (Gr.2) is a young MSW mare - My Ambition is her first foal - who is out of Gold-rated mare Executive Session. This filly will probably appear in a sale at some point.

Summary: 34 foaled (14 [color=blue]colts, 16 [color=red]fillies), four stillborn, no deceased mares, 28 foals left for 2015

Two more foals to report…

[color=blue]Simply Poetic is a 9.0h bay colt. He is by Prince of Wonder who is a young sire with one notable foal - Bay of Biscay. His dam is Idylle who was a decent runner on the track placing in a number of stakes. This foal will be sold.

[color=red]Queen O’Scots is a decent sized bay filly standing at 9.1h. She is again by Prince of Wonder. Her dam is Sweet ‘n’ Sour (a daughter of Slew O’Scots, hence the name) who was a decent runner and managed a couple of stakes placings. This foal will be sold.

[hr][/hr]
Summary: 36 foaled (15 [color=blue]colts, 17 [color=red]fillies), four stillborn, no deceased mares, 26 foals left for 2015

Three colts in one day :astonished:

[color=blue]Phantom Cosmonaut is a 8.3h grey colt. He is by Spock who we all know was a fantastic racer with good bloodlines. His dam is 2008 Steeplechase Filly of the Year winner American Rhapsody. She hasn’t had too much luck with her foals with four raced and the best being one stakes placed. Hopefully this colt does better. Phantom cosmonauts has something to do with conspiracies surrounding the Russian space program. I’ll most likely keep this colt.

[color=blue]Lawrence of Arabia is a big black colt standing at 9.3h. His sire is TakeMeToHollywood who was a fantastic runner but looks to be waiting to fire as a sire but should do so with his bloodlines. His dam is SpritofArabia who was stakes placed at 2YO. Her oldest foal is a 2YO and she is from created lines. This colt may be sold.

[color=blue]Notsoinnocent is a bay and another large colt standing at 10.0h. His sire is Secretsarebound - a young Secretariat sire who was a decent runner - who only has a few progeny running around. His dam is Innocence who I bought on a whim (and in foal with this colt) due to her parents both being Silver-rated. She was a winner on the track and has a winner and a placed from two raced foals. This colt will be sold.

Summary: 39 foaled (18 [color=blue]colts, 17 [color=red]fillies), four stillborn, no deceased mares, 23 foals left for 2015

I’m No Fool’s half-sister has landed…

[color=red]Oekaki is a tall dark bay filly standing at 10.0h. Her sire is International Champion Doodles who had a long and successful career over jumps including a Breeders’ Cup win and being named 2011 Steeplechase Colt of the Year. Oekaki is part of his first progeny. Her dam is Highland Gold who was unsuccessful on the track but has gone on to gain a Silver-ranking as a broodmare largely due to her phenomenal foal I’m No Fool along with two other stakes-placed foals. Oekaki is the Japanese term to describe the act of drawing, meaning “doodle or scribble”. I will most likely keep this foal. Highland Gold has been sent to Highland Wizard which will give 3x2 Rogue and also a 3/4 sibling to I’m No Fool (as well as the stakes-placed Letmeentertainyou and Ring The Alarm).

Summary: 40 foaled (18 [color=blue]colts, 18 [color=red]fillies), four stillborn, no deceased mares, 22 foals left for 2015

Pretty filly, Jason. =)

Thanks Cat!

A colt and a filly to add…

[color=red]L’Officiel is a grey filly standing at 9.1h. She is by Worth My While - a very nice stallion who was pensioned recently. She is out of Shades who was a decent runner managing a few stakes placings including one at Grade One level. Shades has great lines being out of a Gold-rated Highland Rogue mare and by a sire also with Rogue through his damline. This is her first foal. Will probably keep this one. She’s named after one of the leading French fashion magazines (Worth My While’s dam is Vanity Fair).

[color=blue]Colossus is a black colt standing at 9.1h. He is by Prince of Wonder - a young sire with two crops on the ground which includes the phenomenal Bay of Biscay. His dam is stakes-winner Dock of the Bay (Gr.3) who is by What’s It Worth. This is her first foal. I will probably sell him.

[hr][/hr]
Summary: 42 foaled (19 [color=blue]colts, 19 [color=red]fillies), four stillborn, no deceased mares, 20 foals left for 2015

Nice foals - can’t believe you’ve still got another 20 to go!

Thanks! Next year is looking like 85+…

Now that’s just greedy LOL!
