Just bumped this up in hopes that someone went to the Buck Pond open house and can report on FORT PRADO.

His weanlings did very well in the ring. Yearlings less so, but still quite solid. I'm wondering if he is getting any mares this year.

I think he is going to be a very good stallion. I have been keeping an eye on him for the last year.

Any reason for believing he will be a winner?

JM:

I noticed Fort Prado while looking for a stallion that would have a mix of Fortunate Prospect-Bold Ruler-Sir Ivor for the mare of a friend of mine. Not only FP had those crosses but I also found that he has on his pedigrees one of my favorites, Tom Fool.

In addition to that Fort Prado was a "work-horse" that lasted several years and he could do well over one mile of ground.

My friend ended up deciding for another stallion but in return I think a discovered a hidden jewel, Fort Prado.

I went to Lexington last year but did not have the time to go see him. Perhaps next time.

Kind regards,
Rosana

I have had two Fort Prado foals this year, and I believe they are the best foals the mares have ever had. Big, strong, correct with plenty of bone. Fort Prado is a handsome horse, well balanced with a beautiful hip and shoulder.
