Breeding Help!

Post by Anna Leroux »

Soo... I've got some really great mares... they nick well, they are stars or blue hens, champions on the track. Haven't produced squat. I'd love to get at least one decent foal out of each of them! Yes I've been playing for ages but the last few years I haven't kept up with the breeding very well. So without futher ado... here are the mares. Let me know what you think!

Adrift at Sea..... turf router.... decent track record.
Nicks A+ to B+ on everything I've ever nicked her to. Her foals suck. She's supposed to be a blue hen. :? :roll:

Adrift at Sea...my condolences. I have her half sister Submerge and she’s in the exact same place...blue hen throwing garbage. Now I see why you wanted to lease her, lol. Both mares hypo A- to Cats in the Cradle and I have 2 productive foals to show for it. If you want to try him, I’ll gladly refund the stud fee. I keep hoping Submerge will die, but she keeps hanging on, lol, and at 16, that’s no mean feat. My mantra is, “this time she’ll give me a good one”. Lol.

Now I don’t do milers as a rule, but Frankel seems to work for everything and it’s a B+ cross.

Appys, I can’t help you at all.

Sounds like you're singing the blues over your blue hen. There's a joke in there somewhere. I nicked to Big Cy and yup, got a B+.

I feel like you might just be suffering from the curse of stewardbred mares 😳 and mixers still seem completely random to me, maybe try Hello Hello? He had a really good freshman season for Glenn L

I like her with Cats in the Cradle, but for next time I would look at Only Me. I like looking at a few things: first what did the steward do with her dam? Her best foal (and your mare's best 1/2 sibling) was Gojira. You get a repeat of the mare (at a point in the sire line it doesn't really make a difference) who was a very good producer, you get a Tattered line stallion who is getting very nice foals (but I'm a bit biased). I also love inbreeding to Deep Impact line horses, I've had very good luck with those crosses. Oh, and he's an A- nick fwiw
