Pedigree Query

talk about exciting....i cant freaking wait ! it's like your first grandchild being born.....am i nut's or what? catina park is due to foal a utopia offspring feb. 24th.

reenci, don't get my hopes up like that! I thought you had some good news (and pictures) to share.

(Can you tell I'm impatient for mine too? )

I thought it was born too! (HA) We're on the same page LB but I've got a lot longer to wait than anyone I think! We're not due until April

sorry for the mixup....you know how there's many stories behind horse's ?....well catina park has one...my longtime best friend pat lupiani {20yrs+} always took the road trips with me to check out stallions first hand....we would take 2-3 trips a year going to different farms , just me and him and along the way talk about life in general, family, our kids, politics {we were both far apart on this}....well anyway's pat didn't own thoroughbred horse's but always wanted to...so when my first homebred{catina} had some success we had a ball....this horse never missed the board without a legit excuse in her life ! so when she injured herself by breaking a bone i retired her and decided to breed her. well patsy asked if he could go in as a partner . well we took another couple of road trips ...came up with UTOPIA as the sire ....so we are waiting and waiting.........april comes around this year....patsy is told by his doctor that he has lung cancer but its treatable....long story short...patsy died this past november ...he was looking forward to his second grandchilds birth in february..and catina's first foal and his first venture into the thoroughbred horse biz.....so you can understand why THIS FOAL is extra special to me.....god moves in strange way's.

when the time come's ,you can bet i will have some pic's for the board.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. A true friendship is priceless, and the memories are forever.

Great story and wouldn't it be something if that foal is a special one..

at least thats the plan.... ...were getting short....17 days to go. by the way his second granchild {patsys} was born 2/1/10.....and it was a colt....errr....boy!

7 days late and counting...{pacing}....LOL

We're 12 days late--and pacing--here. Best of luck to you and your mare!

I have a maiden that was due on the 17th but she is up in PA so all I have to do is wait for the phone to ring. That would drive me nuts if I were foaling her out myself.

IT'S A FILLY! ....filly was born at night on the 2nd...will take some pic's soon and post them....best of luck to the rest of you!

Congrats! Yeh a filly!!!!

Congratulations reenci! I can't wait to see pictures.

Congrats reenci I'm so happy for you! I'm also sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.
