Not a great crop of 3 y/os this year?

[Chani Ruzzo]

Albeit I didn't get a single hazard in my crop, I got a lot of potentials out of greatest strengths/natural producing mares by stallions I thought were nice.

Did anyone else get a surprising crop this year?

Stallions that did not seem to perform well when crossed were:

Prize Bull
Appear
Zipless II
Elfstedentocht (no surprise there - will be pensioned)
Chased Away
Son Of Light
Leap of Faith
Skeptic


If anyone wants to buy the potentials they are unraced and listed $1-$1000 and I haven't made them into chasers yet.

[Kelley Wachter]

I had expected a little more out of my crop too...

Naturals from Cowboy Mac, Jete, Song For Ten, Pigeon Island (& a wings galloping yearling), Skeptic, Tschikmo, Smash Into Me

Potentials from Elfstedentocht, Mine Those Stars, Star Attraction, Broadsword, Unclench Your Fist, Yeats, Chretiens

No hazards! (Out of those intended for chasing)

[Fanta Arcadia]

I had more potentials this year than last year, but over all the crop still had 17 naturals in it if I counted right so I can live with it.

The naturals were sired by: Mine Those Stars (x10), Broadsword (x3), Pigeon Island (x2), Cowboy Mac, and Manayunk.

[Chani Ruzzo]

I should add my naturals

90 horses jumped 41 were naturals

Appear 1
Broadsword 3
Chretien s 1
Cowboy mac 2
Fosbury 3
Indisputable 5
Jete 11
Konstantine bay 2
Leap of faith 2
Manyanuk 1
Prize bull 2
Skeptc 6 (I will retract what I said about him he's not thaaaat bad)
Shadowless 1
Smash into me 1

[Jazz Brown]

I'm happy to say I had no hazards as well but other than that my crop came out as expected. Only 4 potentials from my small crop of 14 and they came from mares I didn't expect much from and had already marked to get rid of.

The Potentials are by: Chretiens, Fervor, Skeptic, and Leap of Faith

The Naturals are by: Do Something, Moment of Clarity, Pigeon Island (x2), Otia (galloped Wings as well), Leap of Faith, Song for Ten, Star Conquest, and Cowboy Mac (x2)

[Bradley Davis]

The only chaser I bred was a natural, by Pigeon Island.

[Paul Heinrich]

2 for 2 naturals with broadsword and leap of faith.

[Madelene Gilbert]

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone tried any Moment of Clarity offspring over jumps yet? I haven't gotten anything good from him as far as flat racers go, but found it interesting he got some naturals. Maybe that is his "greatest strength"?

[Chani Ruzzo]

He doesn't scream chaser .... someone else experiment lol

[Nick Gilmore]

7 chaser bred-
6 naturals by Star Conquest x2, Cowboy Mac x2, Star Attraction, Leap of Faith
1 potential by Yeats
