Does that count include mares he bred on Southern Hemisphere time?

It wouldn't make sense to include them in that number especially since the Southern Hemisphere breeding season isn't over yet (in fact it has barely started if I'm not mistaken?) which means numbers aren't reported. I also haven't heard anywhere that he was going to see any mares during Southern Hemisphere time, was he supposed to?BaroqueAgain1 wrote:Does that count include mares he bred on Southern Hemisphere time?

Bloodhorse featured a throwback article about the 1986 Malboro and one thing leading to an other... I discovered that the great Turkoman is still kicking at 34 years of age. If that is still current and up to date, that's really quite amazing.

Confirmed by Our Mims... What a delight to read. Can't help but to include this link with pictures from 2013... Ears pricked, bright-eyed and prancing.

Discreet Cat Colt Speedy in Keeneland UnveilingSparrow Castle wrote:Discreet Cat to stand in Japanhttps://www.darley.co.jp/news/discreet-cat-stand-japanDiscreet Cat, winner of the famous G1 Cigar Mile and already the sire of six G1 horses (three of whom have won at the highest level), will stand as a Darley stallion in Japan for the forthcoming breeding season.

+BETHEL WILDCAT (c, 3, Discreet Cat–Excess’s Best, by In Excess {Ire}) fired a four-panel bullet from the gate here in :46.40 Oct. 14, and was given a 3-1 chance to show that zip in the afternoon. Quickly emerging with the lead without having to work very hard for it, the bay cruised through a half in :45.56 and was still moving strongly turning for home. Kept to task with some left-handed encouragement, he continued on powerfully to the wire to don cap and gown by 3 1/2 lengths. Seat of Honor (Tapit) rallied from last for second. Florida-based shipper Muzzy on the Move (Ready’s Image), who took the bulk of tote action, showed brief interest out wide before fading to last. The winner is a half to Tales in Excess (Tale of the Cat), SW, $122,750; a year-younger full-brother who brought $20,000 recently at Keeneland September; and a weanling filly by Shackleford. His dam was bred back to Fed Biz. Sales history: $9,000 RNA Ylg ’14 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.

Retiring perfectly sound two year olds seems to be a trend in England. This year's G1 Middle Park Stakes winner The Last Lion has been purchased by Godolphin and will stand at their Irish base in 2016. Too bad for the trainer

Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on the horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!

He does not share War Emblem's preferences that is for sureMel Mae wrote:Uncle Mo bred 253 mares this year during the northern hemisphere season. He must have loved it when he didn't hear trailers pulling up to the shed anymore.
Into Mischief 218, American Pharoah 208 and Kitten's Joy 201 round up the top 4. Those tied for fifth were below 200. (190)

The Last Lion is joining the also-retired-too-soon Mehmas at Darley's Kildangan Stud.
At least The Last Lion has proven he's a sound and consistent horse, finishing in the money in ten starts this year. I've seen three-year-olds retired with only ten starts in two seasons.

I have a feeling Coolmore wouldn't be as accommodating as the Japanese were in a War Emblem situation. That stallion probably wouldn't even have time to get comfortable in his stall.Treve wrote:He does not share War Emblem's preferences that is for sureMel Mae wrote:Uncle Mo bred 253 mares this year during the northern hemisphere season.

Is it me or has this year been particularly aggressive for CHC in acquiring hot commodity Bloodstock?

Soul of the Matter? Wow, I didn't know he was still around; much less breeding.
I'm surprised Gio Ponti only saw 21. Obviously he is thought of as a turf sire but with winners of the King's Bishop and Queen's Plate on dirt and synthetic one would hope he would see an increase next year.

The Euroears are runners. Remington is holding a card of Oklahoma-bred stakes tonight, and the Juvenile Sprint had sons of his run first and second.

If he he has another big performance or two, I could see him doing a similar comeback to Curlin. Curlin only got 51 mares in 2013 in a similar situation where his runners weren't doing great on the track then he got a few big ones that summer (Palace Malice for example) and jumped back up. The Belmont holds more weight than the Queen's Plate but the King's Bishop should have really grabbed peoples' attention.Starine wrote: I'm surprised Gio Ponti only saw 21.
