Thanks!! I wonder if we're looking at the Arc winner. Leave it to Coolmore to get Ouija Board's one good offspring (so far, anyway).

I'm just glad she has had one.

At least Lord Derby has a full sister to Australia, who might end up being a fine broodmare. And, of course, he still has Ouija Board.

Sometimes that whole "breed the best to the best and hope for the best" thing actually works out.

Joseph Hennessy, with whom I am totally unfamiliar. Maybe someone else here knows him and can fill us in.

Heyaarat (Distorted Humor x Mushka) makes his first start on grass tomorrow in the 4th at BEL. Also in the race is Wing Foot (1/2 to Lucarno).

Interesting. I wonder if Mr. B is going to stay with him or eventually go back to Mott.
