Overdose (GB)

So this is one for you non-western, European racing and breeding nerds

I'm going to write to Balbona Stud where he stood his first season in Hungary, and then reach out to the German farm he stood at for his second season.
His first crop is turning 2 this year, and I was wondering if any of you knew where I could get a list of his live offspring? I imagine they aren't all named yet, and might be anywhere in central/east europe with some in Germany.
I'd really like to follow his offspring on the track and see how they do as racehorses.

Did something happen to Overdose, because you've made it sound like he had only two crops...and those will be his only offspring.

I looked him up on Bloodhorse, and could find nothing about him past 2015.

Sweet is correct, he died towards the end of his second season

Tried to look him up at the German database, but apparently the site no longer exists. If you need help with German, when writing to Gestüt Lindenhof (although there should be someone who speaks English) lemme know.

As Kurenai said, just write to Vollblutgestüt Lindenhof (http://www.vollblutgestuet-lindenhof.de/index.php?id=8) where he stood his last season. I'm sure you'll get a reply, as Volker Linde is quite open and active at the German thoroughbred forum and likes to write about his "breeding adventures". They do have a FB page as well btw.

Besides that, you can find some of Overdose's German-born offspring here -> http://www.turf-times.de/node/11416/nachkommen There are probably more, it seems those are only the ones named yet.

If you scroll through the list at http://195.228.135.95/php/gtreninglista ... stalloid=0 you will find several Overdose offspring in training in Hungary.

BTW... The first starter for Overdose "Night for Overdose" was second in his first race a week ago in Hungary.

Her first race. She's a filly

Thanks for the replay though I hadn't seen it!
And thanks for the info about Vollblutgestüt Lindenhof! I haven't had much time to get around to this since I'm leaving for Hungary on Thursday.
