My new kid

[spex4me]

Well according to my husband I have leaped overboard again and have acquired a new addition to the farm.

Her dam has had 7 foals 4 to race 4 winners 3 Black Type. Her sire is a full sibling to 2 very nice stallions in Europe that have done pretty decent in a short amount of time at stud there, Dr. Fong and Lucky Story. They also have had a wee bit more quality as far as mare selection too.

I am interested in any input people have because I am not really familiar with the Buckpasser side of things. I read 50% of information that seems in favor and then the rest that is not, so if any one has anything to add I would love to hear it. (Good or bad I can take it! )

some thoughts, and best of luck with the horse! i get optimistic about any pedigree containing Spend A Buck, who was whisked out of Ky with their usual lack of patience. unknown what others think, but my evaluation of this pedigree--you have either a runner or a horse that might get overly chunky. could go either way??? Seattle Slew + Buck Passer + Kris S. + Hail To Reason + miswaki + Prince John line-- big boned.

on the plus side this filly should be able to breathe. the great separator. and also run. i think you did well! I have one with Kris S close up. kind, stout, easy to train, hardly the brightest bulbs out there.

beautiful filly, Miswaki over Seattle Slew.. very nice. Lots of great breeding options with her! Best of luck

Congratulations! Love me some Buckpasser - one of my all time top favorites. All the best with your new girl!

Thanks for the encouraging words. When I first looked at her I thought she looked like Buckpasser, since I was told over and over he was supposed to be what many considered ideal for a race horse. The when I found out the dam was by Spend a Buck I either thought I had a great eye and an awesome memory or I was purely in fantasy land making things up..... probably more the latter hahaha !!
When I get her home I will take better conformation pics. She's a spitfire, 15.2, and very unlike her 3 yr old half sister I have, who is quite dense and petite but eager to please.

Congrats on the new mare. Looking forward to pictures.

One of my favorite broodmares had Spend A Buck. http://www.blazingcoloursfarm.com/goldenbelle.html

Gorgeous, gorgeous pedigree! Love Buckpasser female families, since our 'foundation' mare of our little homebred string is a great-granddaughter of Buckpasser. I got to meet her grandpop, Bucksplasher, a few years ago in FL. Classy, great eye, the epicenter of Irish Acres farm. I'd love to see your gal on the grass with that Miswaki/Slew nick going on...best of luck!

Thanks again!! I am intimidated though as should I get her to the track I am the one who looks like a schmuck trainer/owner if she doesn't perform ala her siblings..... actually I am scared !! Plus I have quite a few whispering in my ear to take her to FT MidAtlantic 2 y.o. sale. But even if she has talent, I don't think her pedigree is an attention getter to who would be buying as it is to me, lol!

My hope is to have her ready to grab a late turf run at Colonial. Her 3 year old half sister I have is a Favorite Trick/Miswaki sprinting blaze , who I am excited to see make her debut at Colonial this year too, though she should prefer dirt per pedigree. I don't know but these 'kids' have me on pins and needles with anticipation!!
