Matings 2019

[CorridorZ75]

May Be Now (G1W / champion) — Yoshida
Lucas Street (dam of Wavell Avenue) — Yoshida

It really is such a crapshoot in America. I get why people are excited to breed to him, but honestly Hilda's Passion is similar to California Chrome in that you have to go back a few generations in the tail female line to figure out where the talent came from. Her female family is pretty plain. The third dam was a minor stakes winner and produced some GSP horses, but the family only gets interesting with the offshoots from the 4th dam, Lost Virtue ( All At Sea, Quandary tree in UK ) and (Quackle Doodle Doo in US). And yet, she was able to produce Yoshida, although he is by far the best of her runners so far.

People tend to be more forgiving of mares' pedigrees than they do of stallions'.

Of course we've already discussed multiple times why Chrome's pedigree isn't as bad as commercial breeding says, but commercial breeders gonna commercial breed.

If US breeders don't like the son of Heart's Cry (Sunday Silence) for whatever reason, I would guess that he will soon return to Japan where he can find his market easily.
I strongly hope that it won't happen, though.

Is there a way to find out if a filly has been retired and bred other than word of mouth from connections?

I’m trying to find out if Spring Lily has been retired. She hasn’t been active since her win in the Kalookan Queen Stakes last January.

Equineline.com. $1 to check out her breeding record to see if she was bred.

Foaling season is coming... maybe track her through Jockey Club registry throughout the spring.

members.breederscup.com is the best site. Just type in 2020 for foaling date and the mare’s name and it will tell you who she was bred to for free. She wasn’t bred for 2020, but she could get bred for a 2021 foal

Stormy Sunday (dam of Hansen, Anonymity) ---> Curlin

Curlin? Because they're tired of getting those good Tapit runners?

Hope La Versalles is correct enough to overcome the conformation disaster known as Jess's Dream. (That is a prime example of a stallion that has NO business being in the shed).
