Photos/News about Broodmares

[Flanders]

It's really too bad we lost Certify so young. It's also kind of wild how Please Sign In *only* had 7 foals throughout her 15 year career as a broodmare, yet two of them were G1 winners.

I don't think Certify is dead.

Racingpost/Wetherbys has her listed as dying in 2020, though the Godolphin website has her listed as being alive, though they also have Cavalryman listed as being alive, when he fatally broke down at Meydan years ago.

You are right. I had no idea she died.

Four Wishes, the dam of Alcibiades winner Simply Ravishing, was a rescue mare.

I believe Claiborne will foal some outdoors later in season, but it is probably too cold for the KY and NE states in the early foaling season. The way that grass looks makes me think that must be in a pretty temperate zone of NZ for this early in the SH Spring.

Yes it never snows in this part of New Zealand. Though even where it does snow in NZ most are foaled outdoors and the majority of NZ studs do not even have a indoor foaling barn (I don't actually know for sure of a single farm that does have a designated foaling barn)

Just curious, Rugby Girl--where are you in NZ? I've mostly been to South Island although I did visit Rotorua many years ago. Still can't believe people had mini-hot springs boiling in their back yards. Yikes!

I'm in Hamilton about 15 minutes north of Cambridge Stud which is about a hour and a bit north of Rotorua

She's so clean and shiny!
And I bet she would roll in a patch of dirt the first chance she gets.

I've just realized that British Idiom(USA)(Flashback) is now in Japan.
I don't know who owns her yet.

What a sweet, heartwarming photo. The two mares obviously care about each other. Wish more humans were as kind.

Winx will not be bred this year.
