Now they have a full brother and sister to Chrome, I wonder if they will send the mare to a different stallion...

Here's a better picture of California Chrome's new brother and Love the Chase. Shared on FB by the Coburns.

What's better than another baby picture? Here's the little boy, a chestnut. A big blaze face just like big brother, and 3 white sock feet!

I would expect Tapit.

I wonder if they would actually spring for the $300k fee? They always seem to stress the money/cost aspect of everything.

Tap of the Day(full to Tapit) rests with her Tiznow foal

Ah, only saw the one on Pedigree Query... anyway, now they've got the set.

There are some nice, reasonably priced stallions here in California that they could send her to, unless they're really expecting lightning to strike twice...

Four of our five foals for the year have arrived! Waiting on Fire Assay (daughter of Jostle by Medaglia D'oro) who has a Blame colt on the way!

Here are some pics of what we have so far

Artie Schiller x Bridal Memories colt (dam half to Winter Memories)

Union Rags x Haysee colt (dam half to Shackleford)

Pioneerof The Nile x McCool colt (dam from Aga Kahn family including Daylami, Dalakhani)

Midnight Lute x Bemused filly (family of Overanalyze)

Hope all of you other breeders out there are having a safe and happy foaling season!!

Those are some fine looking babies, JustinNich, with very nice pedigrees. After spending the time and money to breed those quality mares to the right stallion, you must be so pleased...and relieved....to have such attractive and healthy foals on the ground.

Congratulations on a nice crop of foals, JustinNich! Who are you breeding your mares back to?

JustinNich · Mon Apr 13, 2015 11:04 pm

Thanks guys! Now the waiting game as we see what they develop into from here, but happy to start with 4 healthy foals at this stage.

As for the mares, the plans are:

Fire Assay - Hard Spun
Bemused - Shackleford
McCool - Alpha (ny-bred foal)
Haysee - Into Mischief
Bridal Memories - Declaration of War
Much Rejoicing (daughter of BC winner Soaring Softly, we alternate years with co-owner so didn't breed her this yr) - More Than Ready
Mosaicist (maiden mare) - Data Link

We've used a lot of young sires lately so hopefully we have some luck. Getting into PotN this year for McCool worked out great given how well he's doing. If blame and union rags work out, we'll have some nice crosses with them from this year, and we'll be big declaration of war fans if that mating leads to a foal for us next year. Always fun to look ahead!

Very nice foals! Thanks for sharing your pictures and plans. I especially love this cross: Bridal Memories - Declaration of War. Best of luck with them!!!

Love those pics, thanks for sharing, and congrats!

Much Rejoicing reminds me so much of her mother. The MTR cross intrigues me.
