Pedigree Query

Hi board members, I have stumbled across a multiple stakes winning mare on a equine sales website. She is being sold as a hunter jumper. I haven't yet contacted the owner to inquire but I assume a mare that has won multiple stakes races and well over $270,000 must be infertile? Pedigree Query doesn'...

Yes thanks. Ive read both of those threads and neither of them addressed my queries above, hence the new post/topic. Likewise, I'm aware that he is not commercially fashionable which is why I mentioned he might be a "breed to race" sire option...but I'm looking for additional information f...

Any stallion that races through age 10 is definitely "intriguing" in my book. Does anybody have thoughts about him as a sire? His sales record isn't very good but it's based upon a very small sample pool at this point. The Stallion Register said he entered stud in 2013...has anyone seen hi...

Hey Jeff, so I have to preface my post by saying: I don't own any horses yet so these are just my musings, but, here it goes: So, I spend a lot of time researching stallions as potential mates (for the broodmare band that I don't yet possess) and I tend to put a lot of weight into sales averages sin...

Thanks again Kimberley! All super helpful information. I think getting a bloodstock agent is a good idea. I am not sure yet if I'm going to the TOBA Breeders clinic in May but if I do, I will start inquiring around for an agent. It's stuff like knowing that Katie Its Fine was a well respected campai...

Interesting. Looks like she was a RNA 14k in January at Keeneland.

Thank you so much Kimberley! It is extremely helpful to have someone else (with way more experience) breakdown their catalogue analysis. My budget is quite modest...no more than 15k is my max I think. I think one of the hardest aspects is trying to pick mares from a catalogue that will sell within m...

Yikes. Way overpriced.

Thanks Blue Feather! I think I might sign up for this...

Thank you Jellac! Great information...I didn't know he had a Whitney connection. I really appreciate you taking the time to research this. I will definitely do some inquiry into the local Kentucky and Texas resources. Unfortunately the track photographer (Coady) at Oaklawn couldn't find the 1994 Dix...

http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/89694/jockey-chapa-suspended-pending-investigation I can't believe that a jockey can get "suspended" three times for carrying an illegal device...three times? Suspension shouldn't even be an option...after the second infraction he should hav...

Yeah, looking through the results it's pretty clear that any red flag on the page was reflected in the price. I have a question regarding hip 899. What does "2009, 2010, 2012, no report and 2013 not mated" really mean? Like, when you see that on a catalog page...does it mean she has major ...

Wow, thanks Cherry, this is so incredibly helpful. I live in a state where horse racing basically doesn't exist and beyond reading the TDN and the Bloodhorse everyday I have zero contact with the industry. So talking to people actually involved in the industry is really important to me. When I'm loo...

So, I am having a lot of fun going through the KeeJan catalog and I have questions regarding a few things: First, can someone comment on Hip 782? Really surprised to see her price tag at 20k. I get that she hasn't produced anything of note but is it possible she just isn't a good match with Candy Ri...

Thank you Teunis, this is very good information. It's is really helpful to hear other people's sales catalog strategies since I am so new to this. I have always paid much more attention to the first two dams and their produce record but I think aiming for a broodmare sire with 5% is a good angle, an...
