Not sure. Sending a not exactly unproblematic broodmare reproductive- wise to a stallion with purported fertility issues might not be the best choice, especially in the late Spring.

And this then, naturally sent me back to look at her pedigree. Wow, she has Roberto and Princequillo in her pedigree! Who knew (obviously not I).Diver52 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 7:35 pm I didn't realize Zenyatta was a descendant of Troy. I travelled on the overnight boat train from Dover to Calais along with hundreds of optimistic (and drunk) Britons on their way to see Troy win the Arc. I then went to Longchamp to see. . . Three Troikas win the Arc. I stayed a few more days in Paris but I imagine the trip home for those lads was much more somber (and probably just as sodden).
Well, I wasn't aware that there might be fertility issues with City of Light. I hadn't heard about that. That's too bad if true. He was a very classy individual on the track with a pedigree that should be pretty attractive to breeders.CorridorZ75 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 7:24 pm Not sure.

Have you heard anything about Catalina Cruiser? He had a hard time getting the mares in foal here. Never got any of them in foal on the first try. It took two to three trips for them to get in foalCorridorZ75 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 7:24 pm Not sure.

I’m just talking about the mares on the farm that I work on, I don’t think he’s another Battle of Midway. Anyway the farm had four go to him and two are in foal. One mare took two trips while the other took three before getting in foal. One mare is barren for next year and the last mare just went on her second trip tonight to him so we’ll find out in a couple weeks if she takes.FlyToTheStars wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 9:07 pmSummer Bird wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 8:35 pmHave you heard anything about Catalina Cruiser?
