2022 Matings

[KatieK101]

Maria, has Lane’s End submitted their list? Any Honor A.P.’s ? Thanks!

Anyone have a list of Bernardini mares bred? Thanks!

There have already been quite a few Honor APs posted and I noticed a slight uptick in them a few days ago so I believe Lanes End submitted their report. I'm actually looking up Honor Code mares right now, but I'll start on the Bernardinis next!

Great, I’ve not visited this thread for a bit - should have checked first. I feel like he’s not getting great support - obviously he retired very early, but he was awfully talented; I’d have thought he could get a few good mares - andi don’t mean super producers, but I expected more than mostly bad racemares, especially at LE


Thank you so much !

I think there will be a lot of Bernie mares bred to Curlin....and why not?

Rampion was super talented, but also apparently very unsound. I followed her for so long - maybe she just got tired of John working her and not racing her, lol

Oh my god, yay, Church on Time is ok ! She ran well in her debut, got hurt...I thought maybe she’d had to be put down. I like the choice of Nyquist - good cross.

I follow HC intensely - most of these were disappointing or poor racehorses. I’m surprised Faudah could get to Candy Ride

Honor Hop was a turf marathoner - not familiar with either sire

She Throws Heat...same type, like the choice.

I Like that many of these were bred to speedy sires...HC badly needs that infusion.

I’m not sure how Maxfield will do as a sire, but I like the choice for Roadrunner - Street Sense does brilliantly with Bernardini, so why breed him to a son of Indy?

Thanks, Katie !

Thanks for those lists, Starry Dreamer and Brunanas!

[KatieK101]

Rampion was super talented, but also apparently very unsound. I followed her for so long - maybe she just got tired of John working her and not racing her, lol

Oh my god, yay, Church on Time is ok ! She ran well in her debut, got hurt...I thought maybe she’d had to be put down. I like the choice of Nyquist - good cross.

I follow HC intensely - most of these were disappointing or poor racehorses. I’m surprised Faudah could get to Candy Ride

Honor Hop was a turf marathoner - not familiar with either sire

She Throws Heat...same type, like the choice.

I Like that many of these were bred to speedy sires...HC badly needs that infusion.

I’m not sure how Maxfield will do as a sire, but I like the choice for Roadrunner - Street Sense does brilliantly with Bernardini, so why breed him to a son of Indy?

Thanks, Katie !

Honor Code is one of those stallions that seems to have a cult following, lol. I know he's underperformed as a stallion given his expectations, but he's still young and has some nice horses in his pipeline; but the reason I started looking through his daughters is because I thought his first few books had some classy mares, and I was right. If nothing else, he still has a good chance to become a nice broodmare sire!

Re: Faudah, her big selling point is definitely her pedigree. Her own dam is a half sister to multiple stakes produces, including the dams of Frost Giant, Pacific Ocean, Sea Canter, Oregon Lady, etc... all graded stakes winners. Here is her pedigree page if you want to take a look yourself: http://apps.keeneland.com/sales/Jan22/pdfs/122.pdf . As far as the fillies go, a fancy pedigree will usually guarantee them a few nice dates in the breeding shed.

Re: Honor Hop, I'm not sure which stallion she is actually i/f to but I'm hoping it's Yoshida! Especially if she was a turf filly, I think that will be a very nice match for her. WinStar purchased Yoshida as a yearling from a Japanese sale and he won graded stakes at 2 and 3, including the G1 Old Forester and the G1 Woodward in 2018... turf and dirt! He didn't win a race in 2019 but he did run second in that year's Whitney Stakes. Very nice pedigree as well; his dam, Hilda's Passion, won the G1 Ballerina in 2011 and was then actually purchased by Katsumi Yoshida (thus the name). Anyway, sorry for geeking out, but I really enjoyed following Yoshida's career, and I wish more US farms would purchase from Japanese sales!

I also like that several of these mares were bred to speedy stallions. I think these crosses will help Honor Code get off to a good start as a broodmare sire!

If you want to go ahead and start following some of those offspring, I know that Celtic Honor, Sentimental, and Quiet Talk all have yearlings that will be juveniles next year! They're entered in the Keeneland September Sale
