Helene Christensen perhaps?

They are sister and brother, so no breeding there...

Just bred my favorite Arab of all time. She clearly was ready to be a mom. Decided to go with a flat A hypo over the multiple A+ I got to help with any inbreeding. Fingers crossed it works out!

Here he is!

Just opened an all ALLOWANCE 3 year old Arabian auction. A few late bloomers are included, but surprisingly there were very few late bloomers in this crop. No minimums, and I would suspect many (if not most) of the females will become blue hens: I have pretty good Arabian bloodlines. You should be able to tell the relative speed from the workout times, with the equipment being set for what I believe is the correct combo. Based on past experience probably about 80% are currently set with the correct equipment. All have individual piece workouts should you need more info if equipment is not correct. I normally race all my allowance Arabians, but I have enough stakes and higher gallopers in this crop to only race them. Have fun with these, I consider myself lucky to have enough others to race from this crop. Best to all, Lucas.

Am I absolutely insane to pay $1M for an Arab to make sure my favorite mare survives foaling? Got a super cute $1.04M filly though

I'm definitely not making that back :lol: This mare is an absolute beast, guess who's paying for EquiArmor next year mostly for this mare

Thanks to everyone who voted for Stuffed Pepper as the Y60 Arabian Champion Older Male. He's been an awesome horse to run and I hope that Year 61 is his best one yet. To celebrate his award, I have order him a headshot. Can't wait to see how it comes out!!!

Y61-Preseason Trainer: Great mover! '60 Talib's Robe' should have a productive career. This horse looks to be a late bloomer. You should bring her along carefully.

I expected nothing less :lol: :lol:

So, not saying I'm a little slow, but I am. Just saw today that Day Line was pensioned... several days ago. Sad to see he only had one foal this year, a filly owned by myself, but really hoping it's a good one. She's a full sister to Zandvoort who's a late bloomer freshly started 3yo. Thank goodness I remembered to breed her to him early, usually I'm more of a last minute breeder

Sad year for Arab sprinters, first Sleeping Dragon, now Day Line. I only discovered Day Line a few years ago, he was very much under the radar but really liked him. I only have a little 7 strong broodmare band and every single one of my mares either has a foal (or 2) by Day Line or is sired by him. Retired Abu Dhabi last year specifically to make sure I got a foal by him

My boy Stuffed Pepper became the first horse to win both the W4 D5 Saudi Arabian Classic and the W6 D5 Arabian Desert Cup in the same year. He's been such a special horse and so much fun to race. I now have to decide if I want to keep him running next year to try to break the all-time Arabian earnings record. He's just over $1 million shy of that. Hard to believe he finished 4th in a MSW in his debut and that was the last time he didn't finish on the board.

I'm preparing to run my first home-bred Arabians next game year. I have some horses I'm really excited about <3

Love being part of this Arabian community, but hate the three year wait to run the babies.
