FLD Stables Colts Retiring

Post by Jo Ferris »

Figured it's time to post who I have retiring this year. I currently have 5 colts set to retire in the next year or two. I have some royally bred boys set to retire this year.
Outlaws For Life - Paint Mid, will retire this year, he's on the struggle bus this year, but finished 2nd in the SC as a 2yo. He is out of arguably the best broodmare I've ever had, Heroes Never Die (dam of FLD Cota) and is by Blue Corazon. He potentially will have some tri distance ability but likely not as good as other tri distanced stallions out there.

Road to Tevis - Paint Mid, provided he reaches 350k he will retire. He is out of Swinging Like Ali who needs no introduction, 2x SC winner herself and SC producer with Tevis Cup. He is out of Son of a Paint who also needs no introduction.

In Our Blood - Paint Mid I'm 95% sure I'm retiring this year. He's been doing really well over the past couple years, but hasn't really won anything major, one of those that got 350k the hard way. He is out of a Kissin Frogs daughter, Insecure who wasn't her best foal earnings wise but is probably her best producer, and by Blue Corazon. He also potentially will have some tri distanced ability.

Now Rebel Cavalry I'm on the fence about. He's Paint Mid as well. He's still running well and only 4 so I keep going back and forth on him. If he's anything like his namesake, he'll fall off the deep end here soon :lol: (He's named after my RL horse) At the moment I'm leaning towards running him at 5 since I have 3 retiring this year, but also still have him listed as retiring this year. He is out of White River who's one of those really good mares that no one knows, decent racer, has been a decent producer as well. Patriot is by Son of Darkness who's a recently pensioned tri distanced QH. Rebby should be able to produce tri distanced, just like the others, isn't as advanced as a versatile bloodline so likely won't produce as well as the more established tri distanced studs

Son of a Brother - Paint Mid, he's my only one definitely running one more year but figured I'd put him here. He's one of those horses I sold as a yearling that was so good I bought him back at 2. He's a 2x G1 winner and he just peaked last year. He is out of Inspired Puddles who was a solid racehorse herself and by Son of a Paint

Quick update:
Given Son of a Brother’s latest races I’m seriously considering retiring him this year. He will run in a small race, his result there will decide for me but he’s seemed to have lost his edge

Outlaws is still definite.

Tevis depends on if he makes enough but desperately hoping he does.

Rebby I still haven’t got a clue… that horse is living up to his namesake

In Our Blood is probably my best runner right now, still leaning to retiring him but it’s tempting to run him another year since he’s doing so well. He will likely still retire

Dirt Road will race another year

Both Outlaws and Tevis retired yesterday, both look “meh” but are so beautifully bred I don’t care 🤣, been drooling over that Outlaw/Ali cross all year. Both have A/A- nicks, I’ll post those when I get home/remember.
Outlaws is standing for $5,000
Tevis is standing for $10,000

As for the other boys, thinking Son of a Brother will retire, In Our Blood I keep going back and forth, think it’ll depend on if Son of a Brother retires or not. Currently leaning towards trying him at 6, he’s literally my best runner right now. Rebby and Dirt Road will race another year.

Son of a Brother Retired

Son of a Brother is retired and standing for 10k. He's a 2x G1 winner, out of Inspired Puddles who earned 500k herself.

In Our Blood after his record breaking performance winning the SC will race one more year as will Rebel Cavalry who was runner up in the SC behind In Our Blood. In Our Blood will retire next year, I don't love running horses past 5 and he's already there, Rebby is very likely to retire next year.
