As you can see, Tentative Date has had 4 foals make the races. All are winners. Being bred to poor stallions she has still managed to produce. We are hoping to upgrade her to better stallions in hopes that she will produce a higher level runner. She was poorly managed from her previous owners. She is a new purchase for us and we see some potential. Her future is limited due to her age, however , we are hoping to get 2 or 3 more foals from her. Starting in 1998 we hope to get her to a much classier stallion than she previously has been to. The stallions we are looking at for 1998 are a fine bunch at a reasonable price; Fit To Fight, Alysheba, Dare and Go or Northern Baby. We have not decided as of yet, however, we hope it will be one of these four. My top pick is Fit To Fight.

98 ch. c by Virginia Rapids

98 IN FOAL TO SANDPIT

Foolery is a young mare with alot of potential. If you look up her pedigree you will see the in-breeding to the great Sea-Bird and the great bottom family she comes from. Her 4th dam is a full sister to Menow and her 5th dam is none other than the great mare Alcibiades. We are very excited for her chances to produce well. We already have her in foal to a promising young son of Riverman. Most importantly the mating reintroduces the heartlines asocciated with Alcibiades through the broodmare sire of the mate. The broodmare sire is Sir Ivor whose 3rd dam is a 3/4 sister to Hipparete(Foolery's 4th dam). Virginia Rapids was a fine racehorse who ran 37 races at the top level. He was sound and most of all very correct in conformation. Other stallions that fit our fee range that we might try her with are; Stop The Music, Party Manners, Anjiz, or Sandpit.   My personal favorite is Sandpit.  It has just been announced that he will be standing for $5,000 at the Vinery. His fee is within our range and it looks like she will have a date with him for 1998. Their bloodlines are very complimentary and we have high hopes for this mating. He offers a daughter of Dan Cupid and his dam carries a full sister to Sicambre and a half sister as well. It is a very exciting cross!!!!

Another mate I like is Stop The Music. He is our plan "B" stallion.

STERLING DATE gr.m 86

No foals reported

Sterling date is a lease and we hope to breed her to this coming season.  We like her because of her soundness and the fact that her dam may not have many seasons left due to her age. Hopefully we can get her owners to sell her, and it looks like someday it may happen.(At least we can lease her) Her dam is a good producer despite limited opportunities and we feel we can bring out the best in her family by upgrading her pedigree.  We are currently looking at mates for her, and the possiblities are abundant. Quiet American is probably her ideal mate, however, his stud fee might prevent such a mating. He is beyond our fee limit.  Other stallions with possibilities are, Northern Baby, Signal Tap, Dare And Go or Friendly Lover. These stallions all fit our range.
Minor problems caused Sterling Date to miss a cover.  Hopefully we will get her in foal this coming year.
 

This is our baby and the "ham sandwich" of the bunch. I can't really get too excited about her because her female family hasn't done too much lately. However, we will get a few foals and see what happens. These foals will be as upgraded as possible, for she may get turned down by most $5,000+ stallion managements. She does trace to Nellie Flag in female line, is by a very well-bred son of Nijinsky II and carries 30 dosage points, so we might be able to do something with her.  More than likely she will be the first cull of the clan after future broodmare purchases. Hopefully she can produce a winner someday and earn her keep. Never Wavering, Bound By Honor, and Buckhar are stallions that fit our range for her and offer some very interesting linebreeding opportunities. My top pick for her is Bound By Honor.
Update!!!!  The Gray Nurse diid not recover from her ailments quickly enough for a mating this year, however, 1999 looks very prominsing!!
 

6 wins at 2 to 4, $28,779, in NA. 1st Master Fairmont Breeders' Cup S.(N) ($15,000, Fp)

 Recusal is the newest member of our broodmare band and is probably the best bred. She is by Raja Baba and her 2nd dam is by Hoist The Flag. Her female family hails 2 Belmont winners and between them can boast a Kentucky Derby win and a Preakness. When you see her pedigree you will be quite impressed.  It's too bad she was in the hands of quarterhorse breeders early in her breeding career, however, when put back into the thoroughbred scene you can see her mates are highly improved and her last two foals look to have potential. The stallions we like with her are; Majestic Light, Twilight Agenda, or Mahogany Hall. The top pick here is Mahogany Hall. This mating is absolutely dynamic!!!!
