Hmm. The Guardian finally found a horse race they approve of.

Katewerk, that was fascinating. Thanks for posting.

Our old friend Ocho Ocho Ocho, who bred a handful of mares in the US recently, has publicly entered stud in Peru.

Visited Claiborne yesterday:

- Orb left the farm 2 days ago. Currently in Florida for quarantine.
- Performer is on farm in ‘quarantine’ area. He will likely be placed in Orb’s former stall.
- War of Will is currently their most popular stallion. Booked full with approx 150 mares this season. Super nice stallion.
- Lea & Ironicus aren’t that popular with breeders. Ironicus only had 9ish mares this season. Hoping that Helium will breathe life into him.

Any word on Runhappy's book size? He is slowly building momentum as a sire.... very slowly.... but I can't imagine he's fully living up to expectations at the moment.

Noticed that Claiborne/Janney homebred stallions arent popular lately. Examples include Data Link and Parading

They said Runhappy’s book is about 120 this season. His stud fee was decreased from $25 to $20k to help with the #s. They were disappointed that his babies didn’t run well in 2020 but think that it’s picking up with several winners recently.

Yeah & now the inclusion of Performer

The Phipps stallions haven’t been successful in recent times.

War of Will <3 I hope he throws a lot of flash

I hope so too!
Claiborne said there was more demand than availability this season. He’s breeding 3x a day & lays down in his stall, inbetween, to rest. Lol

He does have bad feet. Front feet are still in shoes. His back feet are in some rubber booties.

My favorite mare on the farm is in foal to him and I’m so excited! She doesn’t like to throw much flash though.

How about Flatter? He’s incredibly underrated....I’m so thrilled he’s been such a success as I loved him as a racehorse

Flatter is doing well. They say that he has ‘definitely earned his place in the barn.’ He’s the oldest breeding stallion on the farm & starting to get arthritis in his hind legs so they restricted his books to 80ish. He’s got 2 runners in the Oaks (Search Party & Pass the Champagne) so they’re excited & will be rooting for them.

Info Lanes End visit:

- City of Light was incredibly well received & was the 1st stallion to be booked full this season.
- Mr Speaker isn’t very popular & only got handful of mares
- Quality Road had his R foreleg bandaged up & wasn’t being shown. Guide said that it’s just over precaution & that it isn’t serious.
- Catalina Cruiser, Honor AP & Game Winner were being shown to breeders & I wasn’t able to see them.
- Daredevil was well & munching in his stall. He has been incredibly popular since back & is booked full.
- Honor Code has been slow in stallion development so they’re trying to be patient. But hopes that he throws more ‘Big Horse’ soon.
- they said their ‘nicest’ stallion was Noble Mission, who has now moved on to Japan.

Wow, Flatter has been around for a long time .....aww, poor baby. Good idea about reducing his book...I do hope he hits with a sire son soon, but he could be a very good broodmare sire

I was afraid to ask about Honor Code...he’s got some very talented horses this year, but a couple of his best have had setbacks. A horse I think could be his big horse, who I love, runs on Friday - Creed.

I’m a Flatter fan too!
Kinda surprising how initially his full brother Congrats seemed to be hot but Flatter keeps churning them out. I think Upstart is a Flatter son that is doing well so far.

I love Congrats also !

Upstart is doing ok, I think - nothing special, but it’s soo early in his career and therefore impossible to judge him..

California Chrome had three winners today, first time in his young stallion career he's had three winners in one day. One was at Tampa Bay, another at Thistledown and the third in Chile. The colt in Chile is named Hotel California. It was his debut and he won by 19 1/4 lengths. There are now three Chrome colts in Chile who have dominated their debut races. In addition to Hotel California, the other two colts are named Incredible and Ocean Chrome.

Wow!
I've just seen the replay of the Chilean colt who has the great name.
Welcome to the Hotel California!!
That's one of my favorite songs of all-time, too.
