OnTheRise 1 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Megan can you please rub your hand over my name so's my mare can have a colt. I am so over fillies. Thank you. Fillys hold the future to our racing/breeding industry, without them we are stuffed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmhood 1 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 BIG Indy King Filly Yes, she was a very large foal born, from our medium size mare. Filly was the same size born as our two week old Remind filly. She was very tall also. This mare usually foals large foals but this girl was extraordinary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess 1,244 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Some cracking photos in there MegL (pity there aren't more foal pics on this forum) - he's showing a turn of speed already by the look of some of those! Good for you. My mare still holding out .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegL 5 Report post Posted November 5, 2011 I am happy to put up foal pics for others too, if Sheriff is happy for me to do it this way Doesn't take too long and I can do it if they are emailed to me at liefting@hotmail.com (or posted as I can scan them in). I can do a separate Facebook link to a 2011 Foal album - maybe restricted to two photos for each foal, and then could do again at 3 - 6 mnths old or something like that???

kmhood 1 Report post Posted November 6, 2011 A few years ago Peter was able to put foal photo's up here on Racecafe. Was hugely popular and got thousands of hits - I really enjoyed seeing other peoples foals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmhood 1 Report post Posted November 19, 2011 He has arrived safe and sound - another bay with white sox. Was thinking the world had run out of colts as the fillies kept arriving. He is very tall - all legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmhood 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2011 He has arrived safe and sound - another bay with white sox. Was thinking the world had run out of colts as the fillies kept arriving. He is very tall - all legs. In the daylight our dark bay colt is grey at the roots, just what we ordered - a grey colt from his grey dam. We said to each other when our first colt was born that to top the breeding season off - let's visualize a grey colt.............and here he is.

Lynne Corbett 11 Report post Posted November 20, 2011 My Edenwold filly now a yearling is grey Kay. Of the seven foals I have bred over the past eight years, only one isn't grey. When I was riding I loved the grey's but this is overkill.lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmhood 1 Report post Posted November 21, 2011 I did hear while at the RTR that one of the larger studs had 80 colts from 240 foals. Who knows maybe the pressure will be on to run fillies races more often. Most of the colts head overseas too it seems. Here is hoping.

When I was riding I loved the grey's but this is overkill.lol. Lynne - the dam of the Edenwold filly is obviously a grey and if you're using a grey mare you've got at least 50% chance of grey every time. If you're REALLY sick of greys might have to move the old girl on!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne Corbett 11 Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Lloyd the dam of the Edenwold filly is indeed a grey out of a grey daughter of Spectacularphantom whom I believe left 100% greys. I always thought that she, (the Spactacularphantom mare) would have one coloured foal out of four as was the case with the first three being grey, the 4th bay and the next 2 grey. Interesting to note that her full sister has to my knowledge not left a grey but as she was bred last season to one of the stallions I used over my mare could have produced one this year. However, I am not complaining as the three to race from the old girl have won 10 races between them including black type and as this was my first venture into the breeding side of the industry I guess she will stay with me forever. Another grey filly from her has recently gone off to a trainer so hope she can carry on the family's winning ways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne Corbett 11 Report post Posted November 25, 2011 Yes Lloyd, she is a very special mare but not just for what she has produced. It's the history behind her but that's another story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
