Matings 2015

[ChampionCurlin]

Main Sequence was a C+ and now he's a champion. Breeding is like a box of chocolates.

[ThreeMustangs]

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

Any word on whether Rachel is going to be bred this year?

She's not.

Royal Delta is going back to Galileo, and hopefully things turn out better this year. That is one foal I can't wait any longer for! I still have no idea if she just didn't catch or if she lost the foal early? I hope her and her sisters or at least one of them can carry on their mother's legacy.
