Has anyone seen Frankel's book for 2015?

He didn't mention who Irish Mission is going to in 2015, but Tabreed is going to Australia.

"She's (Irish Mission) going to be bred in the spring of 2015, so maybe she can run once more in a race like The Very One (gr. IIIT) at Gulfstream (Feb. 21)," Clement said. "The other filly (Tabreed) is going to quarantine, I think in January. She's going to be bred to Australia, because the owner of Tabreed owns a share of Australia."

Allicansayis Wow(USA) --> Cape Blanco(IRE)

I Am Kamino Mago(JPN) (G2 winner) --> Cape Blanco(IRE)

also..
Concave(CAN) (G2 winner at Del Mar) --> Cape Blanco(IRE)

Was Concave(CAN) sold to Japanese interests? (um.. it won't surprise me....but...)
I've just found her name on Cape Blanco's 2015 book.

There is an export report on file for her and Kosho Farm is listed as her owner.

Thanks MM for the info!!

Kosho Farm = Kosho Bokujo, a breeding farm in Hokkaido.

Champion filly Meisho Mambo was bred by Kosho Bokujo.
Great Champion filly Kawakami Princess , bred by other farm, was trained at Kosho Bokujo prior to her debut.
It must be a nice place!

I think it was a no-brainer, her winning that award.

Two very exciting breedings to look forward to in 2016 - Close Hatches/Tapit and Dayatthespa/Curlin

The Close Hatches-Tapit and Fiftyshadesofgold-Tapit are both a D in True Nicks. When farms can take their pick of mares (as I assume they can with Tapit) do they consider nicks, or do they think that maybe a larger n will influene and/or improve the nick?

Dayatthespa x Curlin is a D as well

mariasmon · Sun Jan 18, 2015 3:34 pm

Eh, Curlin was a C+ with Rachel Alexandra, too, and they seem to think JD is at least a halfway decent racing prospect.
