It's that time of year again! Because I love it, I'm going to do what I did last year - I'll go through Keeneland's sale books, find cool hips to highlight, and show you all baby pictures of my kids that are being sold. And tell you stories about when they bit me or tried to kill me because that's always fun!
** = my kiddos
Book One
008: Tapit half brother to Belmont Stakes runner-up Commissioner, who stands at WinStar.
**026: This little dude was one of my favorite babies last year! I caught his momma foaling in the field in the middle of the day, and it was the first foal we foaled without the manager or owner present. The mare died of complications from a bad colic, about two weeks after surgery, so between being the half brother to a stakes winner and a son of Scat Daddy, this kiddo is probably going to bring a fair price. Picture.
027: War Front colt, first foal of good race mare Iotapa.
029: Tapit full brother to Mohaymen.
044: Orb half sister to turf champ Divisidero.
048: Full sister to Scat Daddy's likely best son Caravaggio.
049: Tapit colt in the immediate family of Saint Liam and Gun Runner.
055: Pioneerof the Nile half-sister to Kentucky Derby runner-up Commanding Curve.
056: Tapit first foal of G1 winner My Conquestadory. I saw she and her foal when the foal was like three days old.
058: Tapit first foal of CCA Oaks runner-up My Happy Face.
062: If you're wondering what an amazing yearling page looks like, look at any offspring of Oatsee. She's foaled a ridiculous amount of stakes winners, including stallion Shackleford. That makes this foal the half-brother to Timber Town mare Grand Portege, the dam of Florida Won.
069: Full sister to Cupid.
072: Half brother to good filly Cavorting.
077: Full sister to WinStar stallion Carpe Diem.
078: War Front half brother to the BEST racehorse ever, Hoppertunity xP
084: Flatter half-brother to champion 2yo and KY Derby winner Nyquist.
086: Tapit half-brother to Honor Code.
089: Malibu Moon half-brother to KY Derby runner-up Firing Line.
**091: The handsomest (not really...), kindest colt born last year at Timber Town! He was a staff favorite, even if he did once swing me completely off my feet... but he might not actually be in the sale. Mandy might be keeping him. He's the half-brother to Brilliant Speed. He was also the first foaling I ever attended. Picture.
093: Candy Ride half-brother to Mylute.
095: Frankel half-sister to Hansen. This is what a book one page should NOT look like.... She must be physically impressive. That and Frankel is turning into one helluva sire.
101: War Front son of Take Charge Lady, who needs no introduction. We have her daughter I'll Take Charge and she's kind of an idiot.
102: Filly from the family of Barbaro.
103: Candy Ride half-brother to Salty.
107: Full sister to champion turf mare Stephanie's Kitten.
113: Pioneerof the Nile half-sister to champion turf filly New Money Honey and from the family of Any Given Saturday.
117: Grandson of many-times champion mare Azeri.
118: Second foal of super cool race mare Winter Memories.
120: Um, this has got to be one of the older pedigrees I've seen. This is the grandson of the dam of Pulpit, who was the sire of Tapit.
124: Pioneerof the Nile half-sister to Always Dreaming.
**128: Another one of my kiddos, born of the nastiest mare to grace American soil. Her mother tried to kill every one of us... she's just nasty. BUT she's incredibly well-bred, and her first foal, a full sister to this filly, sold for $900,000 last year. Which is awesome. Picture.
**140:: Another one of mine, he's a very very cool colt. As far as Galileo mares go, his momma was a pretty nice one. This colt was about the same size as the mare when he was weaned, and I bet he's massive now. His full sister sold for 1.45 million, I think, so he's a money horse. This is a picture of the noodlehead when he was only a few days old. Picture.
144: Medaglia d'Oro half-brother to Kentucky Oaks runner-up Broadway's Alibi.
149: War Front half-brother to Take Charge Brandy, so he's from the family of Take Charge Lady.
153: Full brother to champion Shared Belief.
161: Full sister to both Creative Cause and Destin.
162: Curlin half-sister to good race filly Dreaming of Julia.
164: Tiznow half-sister to stallion Majestic Warrior.
