The TDN article about War Front reaching 100 SWs, says War of Will covered an unprecedented sized book for a Claiborne stallion this spring when he covered 144 mares.

Uptowncharlybrown moves to WynnOaks farm in Pennsylvania for the 2022 breeding season...the owners of Diamond B Farm where Charly currently stands are retiring..I assume Talent Search, Boisterous, Rowayton and Eastwood will also relocate

Interesting that while M d'oro has maintained decent live foal % his sons have relatively low percentages. MtR, the OG, still hitting at 82%

I should have included this: http://www.jockeyclub.com/default.asp?s ... story=1297
The Jockey Club says they think they have only received 85-90% of foaling reports at this time.

Who is MtR?
(When I find out, I'll probably face-palm because it should have been obvious.) :oops: :P

The Sky is Falling took the "West Virginia Triple Crown Nutrition Breeders' Classic Stakes" (whew) to become the first SW for sire Cupid.

ETA: Another SW for Cupid as God of Love takes the Cup and Saucer at Woodbine.

Fort Loudon, In Summation, and Awesome of Course have been removed from Ocala Stud's website.

AOC will be 22 next year and IS will be 19 so they could've been pensioned + lack of interest.

I love More Than Ready. If it's possible, I think he is undervalued and underrated.

He’s super underrated. MTR is an excellent and consistent sire.

I'm glad Cupid appears to be doing well. While Tapit isn't known for siring ugly horses, Cupid is one of his most gorgeous sons. 8-)

Multiple Stakes Winner Galilean (Uncle Mo - Fresia, by El Prado) has been retired and will stand at Hidden Lake Farm in New York. He won stakes on the dirt and turf, mostly for California breds, and was 3rd in the Rebel S.(G2) behind Long Range Toddy and Improbable in 2019.

Disappointingly, Will Take Charge not doing well. So few breedings. Wonder how long 3 Chimneys hangs on to him?

He would have been long gone at most other farms.
