Take Charge Indy is headed to Korea, if he's not already there. Violence is at Haras la Pasión in Argentina for Southern Hemisphere duty, but he is still standing at Hill n Dale in 2017, unless something has changed really recently.Catalina wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Violence and Take Charge Indy both overseas.
He's looking pretty spectacular at La Pasión, too.

He sure is a stunning specimen. Too bad his career was cut so short.

Many of these mares may have been posted already, but I thought it was a nice write-up by DRF's Nicole Russo.
Bookings for 2017
We've been reporting some of these on DRF.com as they've been announced, but here's a roundup of some notable bookings for 2017, in alphabetical order by mare name:
Beholder to Uncle Mo
Beholder has won three Eclipse Award divisional titles, and is favored to take home a fourth after her stirring Breeders' Cup Distaff victory in her career finale. For her first mating, she will visit fellow 2-year-old champion Uncle Mo, who got off to a phenomenal start with his first crop, led by champion and classic winner Nyquist. Uncle Mo, by Indian Charlie, is from a line known for its professionalism and good dispositions; that also makes it an ideal cross for the high-strung Beholder.
Better Not Cry to Curlin
Better Not Cry, by Street Cry, is out of blue hen Better Than Honour. One of the most outstanding families in the stud book.
Bridal Memories to Data Link
Bridal Memories is out of Grade 1 winner and multiple stakes producer Memories of Silver; this is an outstanding Darby Dan family, particularly when it comes to turf fillies - making it an appropriate cross with turf Grade 1 winner Data Link.
Cathryn Sophia to Pioneerof the Nile
The Kentucky Oaks winner is part of an outstanding book this year for Pioneerof the Nile, who seems to be getting a great boost from following American Pharoah up with Classic Empire.
Champagne Royale to California Chrome
This mare is the dam of Grade 1 winners Danza and Majestic Harbor. She will be one of the highlights for the first book of California Chrome, favored to win his second Horse of the Year title.
Danza Cavallo to Flintshire
The long-winded graded stakes winner was purchased specifically for the first book of this globetrotting turf router, who will stand for an intriguing multinational partnership that should get him an outstanding book.
Haysee to Uncle Mo
The resulting foal out of this half-sister to classic winner Shackleford and several other stakes horses will be a full sibling to her Grade 1-placed stakes winner Uncle Lino.
Hazariya to Galileo
This Coolmore purchase, dam of European classic winner Harzand, will visit the operation's star stallion.
Iotapa to Pioneerof the Nile
Iotapa is a multiple Grade 1 winner.
Lexie Lou to Frankel
The Canadian Horse of the Year is set to become a world traveler; after heading to England to be bred to Frankel, she will then ship to her new home in Japan, as interests from that country purchased her at Keeneland November.
Love the Chase to Pioneerof the Nile
The dam of California Chrome will visit the sire of American Pharoah in 2017 - expect the resulting foal to be a social media star.
Mamma Kimbo to California Chrome
This young mare is a Grade 2 winner.
Mecca's Angel to Galileo
The Group 1-winning British sprinter visits the international titan for her first mating.
Moulin de Mougin to California Chrome
Another Grade 2 winner, Moulin de Mougin is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Schiaparelli.
My Tina to Medaglia d'Oro
She is the dam of Grade 1 winner Midnight Storm.
Peppers Pride to California Chrome
This is the second year in a row that the popular mare, who was unbeaten in her native New Mexico, will visit a highly-anticipated first-year sire. She was bred to American Pharoah this year.
Pleasant Home to Tale of Ekati
Charles Fipke purchased this regally-bred Breeders' Cup Distaff winner out of the Phipps reduction at Keeneland November. He plans to support his own stallion Tale of Ekati with her, as he feels the cross can be productive; Pleasant Home's daughter S'Avall is the dam of the stallion's stakes performer Tale of S'Avall.
Promotional to American Pharoah
Still waiting for more names to roll in for the Triple Crown winner's second book; this one is a stakes-placed half-sister to multiple Group 1 winner Marketing Mix.
Rosalind to Speightstown
Rosalind is a versatile Grade 1 winner who would seem to match well with Speightstown, who can get out any sort.
Roughing to California Chrome
This mare, a $500,000 buy at Keeneland November, was the second most-expensive of several mares California Chrome LLC and/or Perry Martin landed for their incoming star. She is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Diplomat Lady and Grade 2 winner Dream Play.
Taris to Curlin
The mare finally delivered on her world of potential by winning the Grade 1 Humana Distaff this year.
Theworldweknow to California Chrome
She was the most expensive Keeneland November purchase for California Chrome's crew at $560,000. The mare is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Marylebone.
Treve to Shalaa
The two-time Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine will be part of an outstanding first book of mares for this multiple Group 1-winning juvenile.
Twyla Tharp to Shalaa
This mare is the dam of multiple Group 1 winner The Fugue.
Uchitel to California Chrome
Yet another Keeneland November purchase for the stallion, the mare is the dam of graded stakes performer Suddenbreakingnews; she is also a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Composure.
Unrivaled Belle to Tapit
Mandy Pope, who purchased the 2010 Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic winner for a sale-topping $3.8 million at Keeneland November, said she would send the mare back to North America's reigning leading sire. The resulting foal will be a full sibling to smashing maiden winner Unique Bella.
Untapable to Frankel
Untapable was an Eclipse Award winner in 2014, when her signature triumphs included the Kentucky Oaks and Breeders' Cup Distaff. She was expected to ship to England this week for her first breeding early next year. Frankel is concluding an outstanding freshman season, with Group 1 winner Soul Stirring and five other group stakes winners.

Book Review to Pioneerof the Nile
