Grade 1 winner Constellation retired, will be bred to Curlin

Grade 1 winner Constellation has been retired from racing and will visit Hall of Famer Curlin for her first mating during the 2018 breeding season.

The 4-year-old Bellamy Road filly finished her ontrack career with five wins in 14 starts and earnings of $619,809. She raced for the Roth family’s LNJ Foxwoods and spent time with trainers Steve Asmussen, Jerry Hollendorfer, and Bob Baffert.

That foal was meant for me! Curlin over Bellamy Road... my heart cannot handle it

Marsha(IRE) --> Galileo

Coolmore and Godolphin got in another bidding war and Coolmore won this one. She sold for an incredible 6,000,000gns, a European record for a broodmare. That's more than $8 million if I'm remembering correctly. Godolphin won the bidding war for Dank's Galileo filly by Galileo at the October yearling sale. Looks like there will be a lot of mixing of Dubawi and other Godolphin mares' bloodlines with Galileo's and other Coolmore stallions. And Coolmore mares will visit Godolphin stallions. Will be fun to watch and hopefully will improve the breed in Europe.

Can I get a price on Galileo X Marsha for the 2022 Guineas?

Take a Deep Breath arrived in Ireland. G3 placed at Leopardstown last summer as a 2yo, got hurt after that race and didn’t come back as well. Talented, good looking filly will be bred to Dark Angel.

Glittering Tax & Eversmile have arrived safely at @EcurieMonceaux in France, between them they’ve produced the winners of Six Grade 1 races earning over $4m including Miss Temple City, Coil & Chiropractor. Both mares will visit European champion ALMANZOR at @Haras_d_Etreham #SF – at eastwood

2018 matings finalized. If all goes well, we're sending mares to the following stallions:

Tapit
Into Mischief
Malibu Moon
Quality Road
Union Rags
Hard Spun
Munnings
Orb
Tonalist
Unified

Down side of having 4 open mares this year is that they're all scheduled for early covers in 2018. fingers crossed.

[bare it all]

May I ask who you're sending to Munnings? He's a lovely stallion and I wish he got better opportunity.
