Go West (TM)

Post by Ma Springs »

Turf miler GO WEST is retired at the age of 10 and now standing at stud.

Earnings: $1,697,110
Total Stats: 52: 19-20-3
One time G1 Winner, multiple G2-G3 wins.

By Run You Clever Boy.
Out of Westward Sunset (Star Signs), which makes him a brother to top sires like Shatterdome, Red Ferns and Early Edition, and millionaire mare Silver Borne (and with that I guess the uncle of Fearless Spirit and King Moonracer, if that is a thing... :)). Please see catalog page for lots of nice bold text!

I have A- hypos with Blue hen and Star mares by Distant Dream and then B+ with other stars and formibable mares.

Edit: Fee is set to $7,500.

Please send him some lovely ladies!

Since I'm a newish trainer I rely a lot on outside mares to get this boy started and I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who supports him one way or the other!

Good luck to all!

/Ma

Re: Go West (TM) - Now standing, more A- hypos

Post by Ma Springs »

I've been messaged reports about more A- hypos for Go West to star and hen Distant Dream mares. (Thank you, I appreciate it, wouldn't mind more reports of that kind!)

I've also seen an A- to a nicer Frankel mare (one of the Steward's, but nevertheless...). Just a hint as to what kind of mares he will love a little more. ;)

Want to say thank you to all who have used him so far!

And there are still slots left. 😊

I'm quite happy with the results from Go West, he seems to be a predictible producer. One stakes filly in my barn looks really pretty and so does a couple of allowances, one late bloomer. He also produced a handful of productives, with most of them also beeing late bloomers so there is room for improvement. Go West himself raced until he was 10. "Patience", he says.

The fee is adjusted to $15,000 this year. Plaese keep him in mind for your mares. He is still the best chance of getting Westward Sunset this leftward in the pedigree. :) Thank you!

Breeding season! First crop was 61% productive or better which I think is quite alright for a turf miler. Most of them are productive right now, but of my 14 Go West foals more than half are late bloomers.

I bred two mares to him with A- hypos and they gave me one stakes progressive and one allowance late bloomer. Those are fun. 🥰

I'd love to see many more shiny foals! I will introduce a Dylan inspired (Ok? Thank you! 😇) breeding incentive and hope it will work!:

➡️ For year 57 breeding to Go West will be free for any A- nicking mares.

Just message me in game with the foal and a lease for the $15,000 stud fee. Please provide proof of the nick either in this thread or via the message you send me!

Good luck to all!

Go West now has a stakes late bloomer yearling out of a formidable Mastercraftsman mare.

Kacchan

Happy!

Also an allowance late bloomer filly. She will be fun too!

Last night rewarded this guy with three stakes winners, one improver winning with a 90 SF. 🥳

Go West right now has 7.1% stakes gallopers (no need to mention the allowance % 😎, but they will improve).

Stud fee is down to $12,500. He wouldn't mind some company.

And now he has a graded stakes winner as Couch By Couchwest 🥰 ran her heart out in Italy, winning by a nose in a G3 against the boys with a 91 SF.

Go West turned 13 this year. Stud fee has been adjusted to $7,500.

And we celebrate tonight with one more stakes win, Seven Sunsets did it this time. 🙂

His stats aren't the top of the pops but he produces a few nice ones with every crop. These two 2 year olds are now stakes winners and both are still late bloomers:

Go send a mare to the lottery! 😅

So Kacchan ended the year by placing in a G1 after placing in a G3 with a 91 speed figure, Seven Sunsets won her last race of the year (restricted stakes but still..), and Couch By Couchwest won the Banner stakes a couple of weeks back.

Go West is now 13, and as he retired quite late he will have a short career at stud. His oldest runners are 3 years old and with small to medium sized crops he already has total progeny esrnings over $1,3 M including 4 runners over $100,000 and 2 over $200,000. To me it looks very decent. I like him more with every new stakes win. 😊

He doesn't see an overwhelming number of outside mares though, and when I get the declining fertility message I will most likely not delay the pensioning, so I would just like to say thank you to those sending him company, and...bump! 😉

Re: Go West (TM) - now 14, fee set to $5,000

I’ve set the fee to $5,000 for this 14-year-old

As said earlier, pensioning will most likely not be delayed when the time comes, so get him while you can. 🙏
