And ofcourse, is she my best mare? Maybe but I need to see her 1st foal in Jan to help answer that one. And by then the Makfi's of this world will have flown!
Another conundrum  |

Well Pot M what a dilemma perhaps if you have had her family for a few years you must have an idea what sort of stock they get,I'm sure Makfi will be red hot maybe take the chance if she does foal a rat she is still young enough to sell her BEFORE you sell the foal,a mare with a solid page like you say she is and still young in-foal to Makfi should sell well that's what I'd do then you can sell the '11 foal as a yearling,telling punters at the sale her foal is so nice you are keeping it to sell as a yearling you know the score [;)] we all do it from time to time.

I like your tips Prima!
She is from a traditionally 'salesy' family and has nothing that would mark her down really and is quite exciting right now. It's just a case of bringing a slightly sharper look to her progeny hence me starting this thread - which has been a lot of fun! Incidentally I found a portrait photo of Multiplex on the Mickley website (another thread, perhaps) Interesting. I think they need a little help with matters of Image  |

It's just a case of bringing a slightly sharper look to her progeny Pot M would you consider sending her to France next year?The reason I ask is Naaqoos stands for 6k euros,a very fast early GR1 winning son of Oasis Dream out of a mare by Machiavellian a nice looking sire with a terrible lot of quality at that price he might be attractive to you. Incidentally I found a portrait photo of Multiplex on the Mickley website (another thread, perhaps) Interesting. I think they need a little help with matters of Image Your danm right they do  We sent one to Captain Gerrard this year but did not board the mare with them,need I say more.........to many horses not enough competent staff,mind you the Aus guy showing the stallions was fine also the blonde head groom was a good girl to talk to. |

2 more names to through into the hat:
Captain Rio, only E5K and gets plenty of winners and out of a Miswaki mare, soft ground form may not be to PD's liking though. Equiano retired today so may be interesting, fast, out of an Ela Mana Mou mare so stamina in there, 1st season so could be commercial? Fee TBA. |

I think that I will probably be a bit grander with this mare. I like to show confidence in a mare if I can as buyers tend to value a mare by the quality of the covering. Unless a mare is a real star and can take any sire regardless, staying modest with a mating can bring a mare down a level perhaps.
Having said that, a great foal is a great foal, and it will always be profitable however modest it's daddy. |
