Siblings (and offspring) of well-known horses

[BlindLucky]

Never So Few (Galileo x Rags to Riches) is in at Belmont on Friday, Race 1 (MSW 1 mile on turf). He has a new owner (Nick Manifold, I think that's the polo guy) and new trainer (John Hertler).

Doesn't bode well for this colt's chances if Coolmore was willing to let him go. With a pedigree like that, if he had half an ounce of talent, IMHO they would have hung on to him.

He's slow. He's the one that Pletcher, when asked about his debut, said something like, "Um, yeah... he's just here for the experience."

Courage Under Fire (2014 War Front 1/2 brother to Take Charge Brandi) debuts Thursday at Leopardstown in the 5:55 race. His stablemate Istan (Excelebration)appears to be the most highly regarded of the 3 Coolmore horses in the race.

Rouge Buck(JPN), 2012F. Manhattan Cafe(JPN) x Ginger Punch(USA), has finally come back to winner's circle.
She won impressively in the G3 Epsom Cup 1800m turf at Tokyo on June 19th 2016, beating the boys, overcoming her widest draw.
I'm sure that she will return to the G1 company in Autumn.

I'm glad Rouge Buck is back to winning ways and hopefully she will get her G1.

Courage Under Fire finished 7th. Istan was 2nd.

R Sunday Surprise (full to California Chrome) was 3rd today at SA in her debut.

Coolmore have sold much nicer horses than Never So Few, particularly horses that have already won G1s or are even better bred than Never So Few. If they dont see the horse possibly being a sire of the highest calibre, it won't be with them for too terribly long, whether or not it is in training or has already stood a few seasons at Coolmore.

Not surprising. I mean, how many sons of Galileo can one farm stand?
If you can sell the bottom 95% to other breeders, you can probably fund your operation for years.

Never So Few (IRE) finished 7th beaten by 9 3/4 lengths, on June 17, 2016, at BELMONT PARK in Race 1.

Sounds as though Baffert likes what he sees, although I'm not sure he'd say anything else at this point.

Serena's Song's grandson Made You Look (More Than Ready/Night and Day '14) just broke his maiden at Belmont in his debut.

Pletcher Juveniles Saratoga Bound

Pletcher said that Lets Go Stable and Three Chimneys Farm’s Made You Look (More Than Ready) will likely target the GII With Anticipation S. at Saratoga Aug. 31 after annexing a six-panel maiden dash at Belmont Saturday. The colt–whose second dam is 1995 champion 3-year-old filly Serena’s Song (Rahy)–previously finished a clear second behind ‘TDN Rising Star’ Red Lodge (Midshipman) in his five-furlong debut at Belmont May 27.
“We might wait all the way until the With Anticipation with him, we’ll just play it by ear,” Pletcher explained. “He’s a strongly bred horse with a big bottom side, and like a lot of More Than Readies, he seems to excel on the turf.”

Whoops. My bad on that being his debut. I thought I read that somewhere. I should know to always double-check.

Nice! I often wonder if Serena would have taken to the turf as well as the main. Looking forward to seeing this one again.

I love that shade of liver chestnut... He's not just a Lucky guy, he's a handsome guy!

He really is a lovely color.
