Oxbow was not in the Calumet silks. Brad Kelley still uses his Bluegrass Hall silks, as Stud TNT uses the former Calumet silks.

right, what i meant was he's owned by calumet, in calumet/brad kelley silks, as opposed to a horse who had 0 association to the farm prior to their retirement. calumet has not had a horse that they own in the winner's circle of a classic race then be retired to their farm since tim tam.

Forward Pass, even though he won the Derby via DQ

was he after tim tam? i thought he was before which was why i didn't mention him. oops.
edit; didn't he go to japan as opposed to calumet? or was he at calumet first then sent over?

I believe he stood at least a couple of seasons at Calumet.

Forward Pass retired to stud at Calumet for the 1970 breeding season. His first season in Japan was 1978.

He won the Preakness too.

ok, cool, thanks flanders! oxbow's got something going for him in terms of history.

that all aside, this new beefy roster makes me bummed they aren't open for visitors, or they weren't a few years ago.

This year in the US War Front's advertised service fee was $US150,000. But Coolmore's James Bester said this week breeders were paying up to $US300,000 ($320,000) to get a booking to the stallion.

I heard of someone paying MORE than twice the advertised fee for a NG season to War Front.

Super Ninety Nine to Country Life Farm in Maryland 2015

Izvestia · Sun Sep 14, 2014 6:41 pm

Super Ninety Nine has a nice pedigree, and he was fast. Hoped he would run some more this year, but I suppose last year was gruelling on him. He is priced nicely at $5,000 and Country Life Farm is fantastic.
