Found out this morning Champion #UNTAPABLE will be retuning home with 2 #FRANKEL colts (1 at foot, 1 in utero). Hopefully 1 of the 2 will be half the racehorse #CRACKSMAN is. @EpsomRacecourse @JohnGosden1 @FrankieDettori

[Private Thoughts]

Excited to here this.

I was so happy that they sent her to be bred to Frankel.

Big fan of both of them, so I am hoping they produce something special.

This is more of a broodmare question (I already checked Pedigree Query & there's nothing) - is there a way to find out if the 1991 mare Melrose Wine (Desert Wine x Melrose Nugget) was ever bred to Devil's Bag & produced a bay colt?

PQ shows she was bred to Devil His Due but that's not the foal I'm looking for.

You can go to Equineline and pull a mare produce record for $1.

Wild Wine, 1997, bay colt - unraced, was a RNA at Keeneland 1998

Omgosh thank you Flanders! That was him. : )))) I wasn't sure if he was ever registered (I knew he never raced, if you'd seen him you'd know why, he was a quintessential Baby Huey but became a wonderful lesson horse ).

Thanks MM, I will know what to do if the situation ever arises again.

You can also just use either of Equineline's free services, the 5 cross search, and type in a year and the dam's name. Or use their Auction results Search by putting a dam name in and setting the horse type and years to all.

You actually can see the progeny of any horse who is in pedigreequery.com. I couldn't do this earlier when your question first appears (work and family took my time), but here is a link to the pedigree page for Melrose Wine. If you click "Reports" and select "Progeny" from the drop-down menu, you can see that the bay colt, Wild Wine, born 1997, by Devil's Bag, appears to have been her first foal (or first named foal) -- http://www.pedigreequery.com/melrose+wine

I added him to pedigreequery after i looked him up.

...and the reason I asked here was *because* I had already looked on PQ and he was not listed there. Thanks for adding him, MM!

I know, but didn't know anyone here had updated the pedigreequery.com info. As mentioned, I came to this late, and I was just trying to be helpful.

Can we show some love for Miesque?

I wasn't old enough to follow her when she was racing, but as a young fan I had a VHS of what was then considered to be the 10 best Breeders' Cup races ever. Her two Miles were featured of course, and I was just smitten with this filly who came over the States twice and whupped the boys. So I still get a kick when her name comes up in pedigrees.

Last weekend Alpha Centauri captured the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She is by Mastercraftsman with her third dam being Miesque.

And this weekend the handsome Study of Man, a son of Deep Impact, captures the Prix du Jockey Club. His second dam? Miesque.

[Izvestia]

Miesque was a queen. I love watching her BC Mile races!

[lurkey mclurker]

Miesque was, and continues to be, amazing. A blue hen undoubtedly, like Toussaud. And it's interesting that some analytics/stats looks are considering inbreeding w respect to the mares... I think Urban Sea was mentioned as being similarly significant.

love Miesque, definitely up there with Toussaud and Urban Sea for me.

Which farm is she going to be boarded?

[Flanders]

Winchell has their own farm where they keep their mares.

Nice article about Preach and Yarn. Preach is still alive and kicking (and probably biting) at 29, sharing a pasture with fellow pensioners Starry Dreamer (dam of War Front), Hidden Reserve (dam of Reload and Defer), Matlacha Pass (dam of Point of Entry and Pine Island), and Cunning (dam of Quota).
