Dear Judy.Thank you for your new email address.Hope everything works out well for you.I can quite understand your worry about the change in routine for Kitten’s Joy I know Ken Ramsey will chose an excellent stud for him.Godolphin bought a Galileo foal today John Gosden paid 1 .2 million euros outbidding MV Magnier.Godolphin started buying from Coolmore sires at Keeneland for the first time in 10years.Frankie is getting nervous and excited about the Arc but he says it’s a race in which you need a lot of luck as well as ability.Goodnight God bless you LM PC and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX

Dear Sheena:
Yes, hope this is the final email change. Frankie is so right. Luck plays a huge part in races with so many horses going. Hope the racing Gods are with him and Enable. Godspeed. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Judy, You are so right about Kittens Joy. Just hit my heart really hard when I heard. It’s my beloved Leroi’s leaving all over again. Miss him all the time. It did help my heart to see his son last year. Animal Kingdom. Looks so much like his dad, and he has such a kind eye. I liked him very much.
God bless Kittens Joy and bring him back home again.

.Dear Peggy:
I love Animal Kingdom too. Sad that we lost his Dad, Leroidesanimaux at 15 last year. Hope AK comes back home some day too. Love and Hugs, JB

Terry Crow
Thanks to all who posted about my birthday. I definitely miss the old days. I fully intend to be on the blog more often. Watch out for Mister Crow in the Vosburgh. It will be the first sentimental bet I have made in a long time.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear TC GP,
Great sentimental bet — hope it pays off!
Best of Luck to Mister Crow in the Vosburgh!! Safe and sound racing always.
The more often we hear from you, the better we like it! :-)

De Coronado is up for sale later this year along with Spanish Steps and Long Island Sound .The Tattersalls autumn horses in training sale.Ballydoyle rarely sell privately.Zayat Stables have just bought a Frankel colt at the Orby sales for 1.6 million euros.He will go into training with Aidan O’Brien.
Max
You may mean that Coolmore rarely sells publicly? The way this looks is that this sale will not be a private sale. Tattersalls sells to the highest bidder and that is not usually private, although it could be. Zayat appears to have purchased their colt in partnership with the Coolmore connections (Magnier etc). O’Brien only trains for those connections through Ballydoyle. It will interesting to see who purchases De Coronado. It’s kind of sad that they have chosen to sell rather than to transfer him to a US trainer. He may not be coming home.
sheena.davies(wales)
Yes Paul Rhodes said most of Coolmore’s sales are private but this is public at Tattersalls.I cannot see much interest for him in Europe because he prefers dirt.It ‘s all about money for some owners I’m afraid Aidan could easily have sent him out to the US.I hope he will get a good home he is such a beautiful horse.
sheena.davies(wales)
I apologise for the error in my post got private and public mixed up.
Max
I agree that there is likely to be little interest in the UK or Ireland for him as a flat racing prospect. However, he does have great turf horses in his pedigree for a stud career. This is worrisome. I wish Mullins would buy him for the jumps. He’s got the build for that like Annie Power.
judy berube
Dear Max and Sheena:
That’s what I was wondering too. As this sale is public, hoping some US interests will be there and have a chance to acquire him. Hoping so. Love and Hugs, JB
Max
The problem is that he has never raced on dirt so that there are no stats as to how he would do. His races in Ireland were not with the elite Euro horses. US buyers usually do not attend those sales unless they are interested in acquiring turf horses. As you know, there is very little interest in turf horses here. Maybe Darley would want him to replace his father at stud? As you will recall, Darley agreed to the breeding of Verti with Street Cry, which resulted in his birth. Worried.
judy berube
Dear Max:
Very true. Worried too. Love and Hugs, JB

Long Island Sound is a son of Treasure Trail. She is Zenyatta’s half sister.

Dear Sheena:
In a perfect world DC would come to Lane’s End with his sister. We can dream. Godspeed Enable and Frankie D. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

That would be nice.
I’m also hoping for Enable to win, or that Japanese horse.

Yes! Godspeed all; safe and sound.

Dear Judy&Max.De Coronado is racing tomorrow in a group 3 at Dundalk along with Long Island Sound.De Coronado would do well at stud given his pedigree.
sheena.davies(wales)
Race is at 8pm on the all weather.
A nice win for Elarquam at Newmarket just now He reminds so much of his mum Attraction.Sadly Midday’s Frankel foal Midi was very green and many of us were critical of Ryan hitting the horse too much.There was no need and hardly a good introduction to racing.
Max
I hope that DC wins. He does have a good pedigree but clearly not one which Coolmore wants anymore.
judy berube
Dear Max and Sheena:
Sheena, thanks for this info. Godspeed beautiful boy; rooting for you. Love and Hugs, JB
Max
Long Island Sound comes from the same family as DC and Zenyatta. His mother is Zenyatta’s half sister, Treasure Trail.
sheena.davies(wales)
And in the same sales as DC.
Max
They both have the Epsom Derby winner, Roberto, on their distaffs. LIS is a War Front with Danzig and Northern Dancer on the sire line. It’s strange why they would be for sale.

Dear Max and Sheena:
Wonderful breeding. Hope they go to caring people. Love and Hugs, JB

Do not know if this was posted, but Memories of Silver, a winner for Darby Dan and the dam of Winter Memories has passed. A beautiful tribute by Barbara Livingston.

Dear Jan:
RIP gorgeous girl; she comes from the Roberto line. Wonderful tribute and photos by BL. Thank you for posting it here. Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Janet,
Thanks so much for posting this article which certainly is a beautiful tribute. Absolutely stunning photos of Memories of Silver and of Winter Memories. It brought tears to my eyes to read that Winter Memories was born just three days after Jody Phillips died. Her wish to have a gray horse had come true with this filly by El Prado out of Memories of Silver. I am sure somewhere Mrs. Phillips was smiling.
Rest in Peace beautiful Memories of Silver. You were gorgeous and truly talented.
Hugs and Love

Shuttlers make a world of difference
An insight into the influence of shuttle stallions on the Australian breeding and racing industry
Darley 29 September 2017
The Australasian breeding industry owes a huge debt to the pioneers of the shuttle sire concept and our sires’ tables today would look very different without the input of these dual hemisphere travellers. Just imagine a world without Danehill or his sire sons Exceed And Excel (pictured), Redoute’s Choice and Fastnet Rock. Consider how different our racetracks would be without the likes of Street Cry’s daughter Winx, Black Caviar through Royal Academy, Sunline through Desert Sun and Astern and Vancouver through Medaglia d’Oro.

Great to see Sandeep Frankel’s groom get another good horse in Beat the Bank a gelding by Paco Boy.He is trained by Andrew Balding at Kingsclere.They have yet to decide whether he takes his chance in the QEII next month.He looks to have a great future in racing.
sheena.davies(wales)
Stacelita leaves Japan on October 5th for another date with Frankel.She must be getting excited.Safe trip sweetie..
Hovey will see an opthamologist next week.A lot have been messaging Karen about the other health issue he had talked about.Hopefully we will get some news next Friday.Thinking of you Hovey.He doesn’t seem too worried.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
Sure hope Hovis will get a good report on his health. Fingers crossed for him, and healing thoughts being sent his way, too.
Hugs and Love
Max
De Coronado was a disappointing 7 of 11 at Dundalk. Long Island Sound was last.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Oh, too bad.
Good luck to both of them — may they land in a soft place with excellent care and lots of love.
Hugs and Love
