oh darn

I thought he was coming to my farm...

Glad to see he is there though!

Hope they don't geld him after a few years. His elder half-brother, The White Fox, died with very few descendants and the latter's full brother was gelded. I thought he had a better chance as a stud. Time will tell, but this note looks to me not that auspicious.

Maybe they will breed him from the horse park?
Don't they breed others too?

This one has the best pedigree of them all IMO but I guarantee he won't be bred there (except to maybe Horse Park mares, but even that's doubtful) and I'd suspect he'd be gelded as well.

I'm going to have to sneak a mare in there somehow. :lol:

The "problem" with such a relatively high number of entire white Thoroughbreds around is that now many people consider them expendable and care less for them. No longer a rarity and unless a very talented runner appears we are beginning to see some disregard for them. Alas that is the situation, for this one is a son of a talented runner like DHD. Hope that some of our breeders take note.

noooo he can't be gelded! that family is going to "end" with so many relatives gelded ... At least the sister, Spot of Beauty will continue it.

Hi Jorge, In case you didn't know, Allamystique has (3) 3 y/o's and (1) 2 y/o in training this year.

This is off the "white" topic, but if we have an overo colt out of one of our race bred mares, we are going to really try and put him on the track if he shows promise. The Reed's are slow, but I think we will get there in the near future. We have a mare due any day now that is by MONGOOSE (Chef-de-Race, Broad Brush) out of a Halo daughter!
