Photos/News about Broodmares

Recycled newspaper bedding, interesting. I wonder if that is standard in Japan. Most of the foal photos we get seem to be of mom and baby outside, never in the barn/foaling stall.

I remember seeing Gentildonna's first filly foal by King Kamehameha on that as well.
But I guess that recycled newspapers are used only occasionally in Japan.

Great photos, Tachyon; thank you for sharing. I especially enjoyed the ones of Princess of Sylmar and her foal.

[Sparrow Castle]

Lol, that Princess of Sylmar colt seems a bit puzzled about what mom's doing...but how exciting. Glad to see her enjoying the snow!

Not sure where else to put this, but I saw an advertisement for a "court ordered dispersal sale".

Article says the sale goes from Feb. 22 - 25. You would think they would have the catalog up ASAP.

The horses will be sold as part of a dispersal of holdings for Gaylen Dean Rust of R Legacy Racing after his family's Rust Rare Coin precious metal trading company was determined to be a Ponzi scheme by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Utah Division of Securities. Flashpoint Bloodstock LLC will sell the horses in an Internet auction, without reserve, to the highest bidder.

Jane Lyon reveals the sires selected for her Summer Wind Farm star mares

Unfortunately, some of Lyon’s mares have come to the end of their producing careers. Runway Model, the dam of McKinzie, has been pensioned after being diagnosed with a condition that limits her ability to retain a pregnancy.

Runway Model’s last foal is a juvenile filly from the initial crop of Liam’s Map that Lyon has retained and named Map Maker.

Breeding is such a difficult and sometimes heartbreaking endeavour, Lyon says while discussing the family of Game Winner, the champion juvenile colt of 2018 and the early favourite for the Kentucky Derby.

The son of Candy Ride proved to be the last foal of Lyon’s seven-year-old homebred Indyan Giving, a daughter of A.P. Indy and champion Fleet Indian who died from complications following colic surgery.

Fleet Indian, acquired privately after going unsold at $3.9m at the 2007 Keeneland November sale, also died young, succumbing to colic at age ten.

Another Grade 1 winner acquired by Lyon, Tapit’s daughter Careless Jewel, a $1.85m purchase in 2013, stands at the sunset of her producing career. Concerned about Careless Jewel’s occasional colic troubles, Lyon says she would pension the mare after she produces a colt by Union Rags due this month.

Careless Jewel has an attractive yearling American Pharoah filly named My Cartouche.

Mares acquired by Summer Wind gain a special life, and Lyon places their welfare first even while pursuing her dreams of sporting glory.

She views her mares as beloved family members and does not follow other breeders in selling older individuals or those with problems, preferring to retire them or carefully place them with people she knows.

“Those mares that have been producing foals for me don’t owe me anything,” Lyon says.

I'm sorry to hear about Indyan Giving. That leaves only 2 other Fleet Indian daughters (I think one is in Europe?). Fleet Indian's dam, Hustleeta, also died young.

Lyon really takes care of her mares.

I have just realized that Blind Luck(USA) is now in Japan..
Don’t now yet who imported her.

Oh wow, I wonder if this means Dr. Dedomenico gave up on her as a broodmare? I know he was getting frustrated that she hadn't produced anything close to her talent level. He was the breeder of her 2018 Curlin colt, but I don't see any evidence she foaled her 2019 Secret Circle. Sure hope she'll be successful there, whether for him or someone else.

Thanks for posting. Can't wait to hear where she's standing and her breeding plans.

I hesitate to ask because I don't expect good news but can anyone provide a status on Blind Luck's dam, Lucky One? She sold to Shadai Farm in 2010. She was the sweetest mare I've ever been around. Her last foal report was in 2014

According to the Japanese Stud Book, she died February 4, 2014. Since that is also the listed foaling date of her last offspring, foaling complications seems like an obvious cause of death.
