Unaided, dam of BC Mile winner Uni, sold for €1.25m at Arqana today. She is currently in foal to No Nay Never and was bought by Oceanic Bloodstock on behalf of White Birch Farm.

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.

carole

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.

Breaking News! California Chrome's stud fee at Arrow Stud has been announced! He will stand for a fee of JPY 4,000,000- (about US$ 36,700-) in 2020. And he has already been fully booked. source http://jscompany.jp/nomination/js.cgi Fully booked, great news! Hope he becomes a very good sire, I have ...

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...

carole

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...

carole

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...

carole

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...

carole

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 ...

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...

carole

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

I thought Spun to Run was aiming for this too?
He’s listed above in the probables by his Hip hop name S2R.

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.

carole

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.

Beholder ---> Medaglia d'Oro
It’s actually Bolt d’Oro
Wait, what? I swear the Instragram post said Medaglia d'Oro.

Confirmed on Twitter, it's definitely Bolt d'Oro

I just found this out today and it definitely gave me a good laugh! I wager some of you already know the story of Potoooooooo . From Wikipedia: The origin of his name has several different versions. According to the most common, Abingdon intended to call the young colt "Potato" and instructed the st...

Maximum Security is targeting the Cigar Mile. My question for you all:

If he wins, would you vote him champion three-year-old?

Yes definitely, he would have the most Grade 1 wins for a 3yo male and he would prove that he can win a Grade 1 against his elders.

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...
