They sent all those Galileo fillies over here to War Front

Just wanted to make sure you noticed Sophisticat's daughter Sanima is here in the US

BaroqueAgain1 · Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:27 pm

I would be curious to know, if you added them all together, how many mares Dubawi, Galileo, Tapit and War Front have bred over, say, the last two seasons. Two thousand? More?

War Front gets a notably small book in comparison to most top stallions.

Private Thoughts · Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:39 pm

Isn't that because Claiborne tries to keep their books on the smaller side anyway?

That, and I've heard his libido and fertility aren't the best. The way it was put to me is that his fertility starts to wane if he gets too many mares.

Galileo covered 180 last year. His book for this year hasn't been turned in yet, but I would imagine it's somewhere around that number. Dubawi covered 160 last year and this year. That's roughly 680 mares for the two of them.

Biofuel is by a Storm Cat son (similarly to Littleprincessemma being by Yankee Gentleman).

Exclusive Rosette might be interesting.

Really Excited about No Such Word - had never looked at her pedigree before but there are some really nice names in her pedigree top and bottom... Gone West, Seattle Slew, Natalma, Nearctic, Nureyev, Dr. Fager. Crossed on Cairo's Prince pedigree I can only say yum! Curious to see what will come of this.

War Front covered 105 mares last year, I would assume its around there again this year.
Tapit covered 165 last year and I think they said his book would be smaller this year, but from the looks of this list, is probably around that again.

There are some ex-Coolmore mares among the list of mares to Dubawi, Coolmore don't support Dubawi.

... and Coolmore don't support the Darley stallions at stud.

Starspangled · Fri Jul 24, 2015 10:08 am

Not in Europe, occasionally in the US

Twingo · Fri Jul 24, 2015 10:18 am

Coolmore usually buy Bernardinis, once Medaglia d´Oro (Indianapolis Baffert-trained). In Europe they were underbidders last year on Shamardal x Cassandra Go colt, sold for 1,700,000 gns. This colt is named Chess Master (IRE), and he is with Charlie Appleby.

Coolmore don't support the Darley stallions at stud anywhere.

They have used Street Cry and Medaglia d'Oro in the past.

any homebreds apart from Street Cry x Vertigineux story? Because there are still a lot of unanswered questions about Vertigineux.

As I said, they sent mares to MDO. I cannot recall whether they ultimately kept or sold those offspring. Vertigineux visited Street Cry 2 different breeding seasons while they had her, but only one live foal resulted.
