Artie Schiller :) who was always on my list. I had considered Holy Bull but was afraid with his age that if it took too long to get her in foal (she went to the shed four times in 2010) I would not be able to get into Artie's book.

There are pictures of the 2011 colt in the foals sub forum. He's really nice but I could not tell you who he looks like :? except that he does have the leg and bone that I expected.

This is the yearling from Saturday. One of my friends seems to think he looks a bit like Albert the Great, his grandsire. I expect all her foals will have the leg and bone this one does.

"I'm thinking you should be running not walking straight over to winstar and breeding her to Distorted Humor, I'm sure they'd be thrilled to give you a complimentary season simply because of the family affiliation."

Why on earth would I want to inbreed to Forty Niner that close?

My Bad! Go ahead and make that Tiznow, I'm sure when they see that mare's wonderful pedigree and that fabulous colt, they'll be throwing breedings at your feet.

She's not going to a 17 hand stallion, I want to breed a racehorse not a draft horse :D.
