  • northport · I wish one of the coolmore stallions, but it is hard to find one of the good ones without sadler's wells or with too much northern dancer! For one with no ND I really like Dalakhani, and he can sire distance. Sea the stars has the distance there but ND. A good miler stallion would be Dubawi, but he is already inbred to northern dancer. In north america, I would go Lonhro, hands down, no northern dancer. · 280 days ago ·

  • likin sparks · Well not sure if it's just bruising or degeneration of the condylar, if it's a degenerative bone disease then possibly down the road she'll end up lame, non curable and partially heriditary. Bruising cures with rest so hopefully it's not a serious condition. · 286 days ago ·

Since I fell in love with this mare, I was afraid to hear news about that that she will leave sports... but sooner or later, it should happens. Now I hope on its future posterity, and I want that she would become good mother...

Best wishes to this mare in retirement. She was certainly one of my favorites over the last few years. I wonder who they will breed her to.

  • zbuilder · Alex, In the early 90's, I had the good fortune to be the racing writer for the local newspaper. I had to make public picks for all of the races. It was the most fun job I have ever had. The pay sucked but my horseplaying education expanded exponentially. I was also able to write articles of my choosing, not suggestions from an editor. I like your attitude. You will do fine. Break a leg. Ooops, different profession. RonZ · 295 days ago ·
