Re: Siblings (and offspring) of well-known horses
She was incredibly green but she had a lovely turn of foot, especially when she had some company, didn’t want to let that other horse pass! Excited to see what she can produce once she matures.

Re: 2020 Matings
They'll be keeping the first foal, whether colt or filly, and thereafter they will be keeping the fillies and selling the colts. And yes the connections mentioned that Laurens has a fantastic cruising speed but not so much a turn of foot so they want to inject some of that into her offspring.

Re: California Chrome to Japan
Also just wanted to add that when people talk about the ‘crazies’ who ‘love’ Chrome, they mean the kind of people that will tweet, email and call Taylor Made to tell them that they’re pieces of s*it because obviously the horse will get chopped up into dog food in Japan. That’s crazy and it’s not lov...

Re: California Chrome to Japan
He looked thin and sickly because of the long travel and quarantine which he had gone through twice that year, if I remember correctly he looked super in photos and videos of him on the gallops in England. People were commenting how shiny his coat looks and how good he looked galloping. I just don’t...

Re: California Chrome to Japan
Ridan, what makes you think the Japanese grooms that look after him won’t bond with him in the same way his American ones have? In fact, as someone has mentioned here before, if Chrome ends up staying in Japan for a long time (10+ years let’s say) I hope he doesn’t ‘come back’ to America. By that po...

Re: California Chrome to Japan
I don’t know that selling Chrome is a public relations disaster. It’s not like the horse was in the news at the time, he only hit racing headlines (I’ve yet to see an article from mainstream media about this because they obviously don’t care, unlike when horses die on the racetrack) because of his s...

Re: California Chrome to Japan
Idk about you all, but I'm tired of the American thoroughbred model. I'm thinking I need to just focus on European, Australian and Japanese racing. At least their horses are bred for longevity and run for more than 6 races. Not the Europeans who also retire their top 3yos every year like clockwork ...

Re: Favorite Photos of Race Horses
https://twitter.com/Ascot/status/1194159895790211073 He's doing such a good job! Wonder how old this is or where it was taken. If this was recent it must be a foal bred on southern hemisphere time for X reason. It’s a few years old at least, I’ve seen it resurface around the start of the jump seaso...

Re: The Cigar Mile
I meant more like standout horses, of course you have to be a good horse (usually) to run in a Grade 1.

Re: The Cigar Mile
Ah ok! I’m just surprised people are saying Maximum Security is the only good horse here. Spun to Run won the BC and beat Omaha Beach, he’s very good competition for Maximum Securtiy.

Re: 2020 Matings
Wouldn't it be funny if the resulting foal ends up being a Triple Crown winner or something?
But seriously I do agree that Medaglia d'Oro would have been a far better choice.

Re: Clever Names for horses

According to the most common, Abingdon intended to call the young colt "Potato" and instructed the st...

Re: 2019 Two-Year-Olds
Independence Hall was super impressive, receiving a 101 Beyer in winning the Nashua. Other than ducking out a bit in the stretch, he looked great as he closed the final 1/4-mile in 24 and 2. He also appears to be long in body and has Seattle Slew both top and bottom in his pedigree. The sky's the l...
