Fairy Bridge progeny needs corrections

I'm not sure how you delete horses, but just FYI, Fairy Bridge has two horses listed as progengy which are surely wrong (DOB 1997 and 2002 - quite a trick since she died in 1991). Can members delete horses or is that something only Administrators can do?

Thanks! :?

Did Inverness Die?

Inverness, 2yo More than Ready filly. The info on Pedigree Query says she died late November 2005 - does anyone know if this is true? I can't find anything else about her. I thought she was promising enough that her passing would have been mentioned somewhere.

Thanks for your help.

I think Thunder Rumble is a fabulous looking stallion. He's big, well-balanced and beautifully proportioned.

Re: Blood-horse Conformation Series

Hey, all. I was looking up the race records of the foals used in the Blood-horse series on conformation and I have found all of them (including Harlington) except for the 2002 colt by Red Ransom out of a Deputy Minister mare. Anybody got an I.D. on this one? Ooh ooh! Would you mind posting their na...

Kris S was a Roberto, and there have been lots of successful Roberto sire line descendants that have been trained by Americans and raced in this country and done well. Halo has many of the same characteristics as Roberto (except for his temperament), and his descendants have also raced successfully...

It's so nice to hear that there is a plan for his future racing, even if some of it isn't certain yet. The way the BloodHorse phrased it it sounded like he'd tossed-in the towel :oops: BTW- body soreness. Eh? What did the big boy do to himself? :roll: I read that he got cast in his stall - I'm real...

Stop the Music is still around??? That's terrific! I knew Cure the Blues was gone, and just figured STM surely had to be as well. That's such happy news. Thanks, Kimberly and Denise!

Just FYI Bellamy Road won't be another Point Given. He's popped a splint and is off the TC trail. Zito may try him in the Travers. Bummer.

Ahhh, okay, thanks Green Hills and Ruffian! I think I had missed the parallel cannon bones part. (BTW, Ruffian, I'm sure you've got a fine eye for horses - look who you picked for your namesake. :D )

Thanks again!

Thanks, Heather T., for the response. That really helps - I was never sure what that conformation fault looked like (Green Hills's diagram was a big help too). For some reason I kept imagining a curve to the hock (stifle?) rather than an angle. Can't be too horrible a fault, considering how many gre...

Does Almahmoud have sickle hocks (picture on Pedigreequery)? I've always thought she had an odd-looking hind end, yet she was a great Blue Hen mare. Wondering if she could be the source of sickle hocks in Northern Dancer and Halo line horses (Sunday Silence had sickle hocks, I believe).
