Dopey 209 Report post Posted March 19, 2022 Rip van w an amazing racehorse but from a somewhat under rated direct family in the UK. Others know more than I on that, just relaying what I was told. to my eye has some nice broodmare sire names in his pedigree. nice 2000 guineas win in a weaker year than usual.

Blue 1,080 Report post Posted March 28, 2022 Not being facetious at all but three races and a break then four races on easy ground and broke down beyond repair. Do breeders consider this as possibly a weakness or do they look only at the Savabeel influence compared to, say, The Chosen One who lacks nothing on breeding either? Just asking.

Dopey 209 Report post Posted March 28, 2022 Interesting comment. I think it ended up in hindsight being the price paid to get the necessary experience and fitness into a horse to get to the 2000 guineas - and win. often the most educated and professional get the job done - and clearly the stable is good at that. the race is in November remember, and can take its toll on a 3yold…It’s not easy.

Abernant 37 Report post Posted March 28, 2022 But you would think he couldn't be more expensive than ZED at $6k. I was hoping someone with pedigrees knowledge would give insight.. Without promoting or knocking the horse, or do they only do that once runners on track proving there theory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohokaman 5,759 Report post Posted March 28, 2022 Some pretty stout bloodlines there…..3 wins including Group 1 2000 Guineas and G3 War Decree Stakes…plus 3 placings from 7 starts. Ligament damage caused the retirement so we probably didn’t see the best of the $800,000 colt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 1,080 Report post Posted March 30, 2022 We hear it a lot " we probably didn't see the best of him". I tend to think we probably did see the best of him. He obviously couldn't stand up to any more racing as he was showing signs prior to the 2000 Gns.

Mill Reef 119 Report post Posted April 1, 2022 Xtravagant's successful start still shows that our Guineas winners can make sires. Not sure of the relevant merits of their Guineas although I suspect Xtravagant's rated higher. Dopey 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
