Suggestions for a Waquoit mare

Postby Dream2B » Sun Nov 23, 2008 6:43 am

Big, strong, great bone and correct. Unraced due to a paddock injury as a yearling, but a really nice individual. We breed to race. Based in Texas but we race mainly in West Virginia. Many Thanks in advance.

If you race in WV I think it would behoove you to breed in WV.

Take a look at Limit Out. His average earnings per starter so far this year is $31,292 and he's doing that wilth mid atlantic mares.

Her name is Zoisite, 2007 filly o/o Honeymoon Blues. Although we foal and re-bred in WV; I like when possible to breed either to cheaper i.e. under $10000, KY stallions (did wonder about Pioneering for this filly) or for non-commercial mares like this one, a stallion in TX, LA, OK or AR. Then I can keep them here at home and then foal in WV. I love Limit Out, in fact I am probably going to bred her dam, Honeymoon Blues to him this year. She's currently IF to Captain Countdown. Although this family looks really weak on paper Honeymoon Blues was a very capable racehorse, running 2nd Maiden Specialweight at Laurel in her first start and just having the worst luck in her remaining 4 starts, but still showing ability and finishing no worst than 2nd-4th at Pimlico and CT. Zoisite is just a really nice physical and has the attitude and class that I like to see in a racehorse. Again thanks in advance.

Are you seriously thinking of breeding this Feb.5, 2007 filly in 2009?

No; sorry should have mentioned that - just planning in advance for 2010. We like to keep our small mare band (6) split between WV stallions and the rest even though all will foal in WV or maybe OK or AK. So where I breed mares in 2009 relates directly to where they will foal in 2010. Thanks.
