Pollard's vision is one of the top 4 2nd year sires. Blind luck is wonderful. Does anyone know why none of Pollard's Vision's offspring seem to do well at the sales. You would think that lots of people would want colt/fillies of his.

The more I read about the more impressed I am. I've been attached to her since before the BC last year. I'd love to see her success continue. She is deserving of the Eclipse.

Just loved that new trivia on Blind Luck and it still goes to show-size doesn't matter, just as long as the job gets done-and just look at the product! What a prize!

Blind Luck always comes from Clover-Love that filly-God Bless her heart!

Love & Blessings

Great story. I was wondering if anyone has done a study on horses that ruled their fields and ate first (Pasture Boss)? Is there a correlation with how they do on the track if they have the right physical to go with their dominate behavior?

I have a yearling filly who is pastured with other fillies. When she was first added to the pasture, she didn't know what to do and was moved out by the boss filly and some others for about a month. During this time, she'd move but wouldn't put up with being kicked or bit. After the first few weeks, she was equal with the boss filly, and soon she was #1. She's too fat because she lets the other fillies in to shake leaf and flowers off the alfalfa, then she moves them out and eats all the shake. There are multiple feeders, so don't worry, the rest are all getting enough to eat. She has 3 crosses of Northern Dancer, and is built a lot like him. Her sibs are about 16-16.1 hands, so she'll probably be a little taller than ND. She has the chrome too, although that's not my preference. All her sibs got to the track. One was hurt in the starting gate and is now a riding horse. Of the other five, all have one except 1, who placed twice on the SoCal circuit and now does dressage. The most recent is an allowence winner and possible Stakes quality. So she'll probably make it to the track. I'll be happy if she has just a bit of Blind Luck's ability.

Re: Pollards Vision - shades of Northern Dancer. I understand that they had a specially-sized breeding shed place for the Dancer too. Considering the Dancer, we can all agree that (wait for it)... SIZE DOESN'T MATTER.
