@BloodHorse@BH_JPerez Chad has a point on the weight issue. The only exception would be on a heavy, undulating, or uphill course more common in Europe. In the US we dont have the same conditons as we rarely run on a heavy/yielding turf. I'm not sure the 5 pounds cost Gezora the win.
@SireWatch Have you perused the broodmare line on Chief Wallabee? In order: Medaglia D'oro, Ghostzapper, Distorted Humor, In Excess. Distorted Humor 3fx4f. Traces abck to a Cal Bred, bred by Old English Rancho and Bruce Headley.
@Pedigreeconsult I enjoyed your article in Bloodhorse on his pedigree. It is interesting that Rock your World has a double dose of Wild Risk (on his damside) albiet way back through Giant's Causeway/Blushing Grooms dam Runaway Bride.
@AronWellman7@theTDN@jockeyclub Require a fair appeal process with H.I.S.A. which doesn't involve ex-jockey club employees as a third party mediators. Mandatory cross confirmation of blood test with DNA, to insure the sample in question is the sample from the horse in question. Simple fix.
@AronWellman7@theTDN@jockeyclub As a breed to race breeder (B.T.R), one of the most glaring stats, is the diminishing foal crop. The loss of the (B.T.R.) component has been greatly overlooked by the industry and it's relationship to the foal crop. B.T.R's need representation and incentives.
@AronWellman7@theTDN@jockeyclub Universal rules for each state with an automated computer system to include all race horses, so each jurisdiction can coordinate issues before they create fatalities. More communication with trainers to have an open discussion/collaborations with H.I.S.A.
@AronWellman7@theTDN@jockeyclub The industry needs to crack down on the CAW's, optically it is a very bad look, makes bettors lose confidence in the system, bettors are the back bone of the industry. Current block chain technology could remedy this. Update the tote system!
@WelbourneStud@AirdrieStud@endeavorfarmky I have a Dynaformer lined mare as well. They seem to transfer good bone to their offspring. I bred mine to Omaha Beach last year. Foal due in late April. I contemplated breeder her to Macleans Music and Complexity (a nice cross with Dynaformer). Best of luck with that beauty.
