Do you want a 1/2 sibling to Moscow Burning for $3,000.00? Nureyev-Northen Dacer line.

[chango55]

for the sibling to be a half brother wouldn't they have to have the same mother? sorry if this is a dumb question i'm new to all this.

[chango55]

sorry i miss read the response. yeah a half to moscow buring sounds good. i think i'll give that a try and pray for the best

yeh, I was thinking of my Jackass ancestors!!LOL!!
How about stop-sibling? No relation? Don't know.
What I do klnow is that the patriarch of the Harris operation, John, is past president and currnt board member of the Caifornia Horse Racing Board, so you will not get screwed over!
I eat their beef and near Coalinga ate at their restaurant and got gas at ther station. Never flown into their landing strip!. Visit their website- nothing to lose.
They had 8 first time starters in a row win their maidens at one point, and the whole operation is quality.
You can order some of their beef online if you wish!

Get- offspring of the same sire.
I guess 2 offspring of Moscow Ballet would be gets, or half-gets?LOL!

[chango55]

i'll give him a try i always have liked his offspring. i didn't know he was still around. he must be over 20 years old

2006 stud fee $3,000 on their website!

I don't disagree with moscow ballet, I'm just gonna throw a few more out off the top of my head. I don't know nicking patterns, I just know these guys throw runners. Category Five(2500), Sea of Secrets(3500), Western Fame(3500), Event of the Year(4,000), Formal Gold(5,000), Mud Route(5,000), and You and I(5,000). If you're looking for turf pedigree, Atticus, Comic Strip, Momentum, and Gentlemen all stand for 5,000. Good luck!

Weird?
"Kim Hammond, chief executive officer for Falls Road Animal Hospital, said many horses develop laminitis after a broken leg, but a severe race injury inhibits recovery even more so. Ruffian, Holy Bull and Event of the Year found similar fates. All were put down after breaking legs."

[chango55]

thanks mister. i'll have to look into them also and try and pic the best for the mare.

With the mare (filly) tracing to Big Hurry/La Troienne, if you could swing it, Roar at 10K would provide a return to Big Hurry, and he has done well as a sire in California, but like I said, it is double what you want to spend, may be you could work out a deal with them for next year, it is kind of late for this year....

DDTT

[chango55]

i would love to spend more on breeding her but dont have that kind of money. i do have a horse in racing and hope to get another one soon maybe by next year if they win a few races i will be able to afford it.

[Mister Stigg]

I had the same thoughts when I looked in the stallion register and saw Roar, but he was out of your price range. Maybe your horses will run very well, or you'll hit a nice pick 6 before springtime? Nothing wrong with Moscow Ballet, it might even be a better cross, who knows? Of course we're just throwing out names for the fun of it, do you know a bloodstock agent, or know someone who does?

[chango55]

No dont know one or know anyone that does

[Rudy]

Possible Name Burning Beauty, Or Moscows Beauty

[chango55]

i like the sound of burning beauty if it's a filly

[ken]

Already for the naming?LOL!
One that looks available is Moscow Native.

[chango55]

yeah. cant help but get excited

[chango55]

Well i tried calling and emailing the farm where moscow ballet is located at and they never returned any calls or emails actually of all the farms i tried only one was very responsive and very helpful http://www.ballenavistafarm.com . so i decided to breed her to sea of secrets. They did an enicking for me and it got an "A" so i guess thats a good thing. I dont understand what an enicking is but i do like sea of secrets pedigree.

[Jerfi]

Has your mare did any racing? If so... how did she perform?

[chango55]

Yes she did some racing. she did well till she got hurt after that she went down hill. she made about 70,000 on the track. she was running for 40 - 50,000 she did end her career running for 2000 though. thats when i bought her.

[Mister Stigg]

I thought he was a bargain when he stood for 5grand in ky, now he's an even better deal in CA. SOS had a 2yr old that sold for alot of money a couple of springs ago, I think 2.something million? Good luck with that!

yeah i think you're thinking of baffert's filly, My Miss Storm Cat... she is still racing and is good... he is really going slow with her, still running her in small stakes and alw conditions.... i don't think she has ever been beyond 6 panels.

[Mister Sanderson]
