Loved the LIS slide show. Tried to find out about Azeri, Ginger Punch and, now, Dubai Majesty at Northern Farm, Japan. But no email address is listed and no info on mares. Other than writing to Japan is there a way to check on them?

Thanks so much.

The Princess, thank you. I wanted pics of her next to Zenyatta. Do you know where and what happened to Little Rachel?

BTW: [Regarding my previous note] Lethal Heat is in foal to Street Cry, Mr. Abrams said.

Zenyatta was shown with Barry Abrams in a lovely video where she is getting a real rubdown, while he answered questions about Lethal Heat, in foal to Street Cry. Not sure how old the video is. Also Vertigineux, as someone already mentioned. Thanks for this.

Just ran across these photos of LIS (through your beautiful Zenyatta photos). These are beautiful as well. LIS is also one of my favorites..thanks for pix of her!

I was under the impression that Life Is Sweet is rather high strung and the opposite of her name. Anyone know if that is true? Were she and Zenyatta pals?

What wonderful pictures! She looks very happy. I would love to see updated pictures of Stardom Bound. I don't know who she was sold to, so I don't know if she is in the Lexington area.

Hi Anne, again -

I commented on the Rags slideshow earlier, but I didn't mention how amazing it is to see the photos of her foal. What a little beauty and she looks SO much like her mama! That last picture with the sun shining on her tiny body is beautiful - they all are. Do you know what has become of her?

Hi Anne,

Thanks for your blog! I love the pics and reports on these horses!

A question: You posted the link to the "Rags" slideshow. One of her handlers is named Peter Keogh and you've been signing your name with Keogh - is there a connection there?

Thanks,

I have to agree on all of the above! I actually sent in a request to Bloodhorse for this exact thing awhile ago...I love hearing about our lovely girls and their babies. I'd also love hearing updates about our geldings too.. Better Talk Now (my favorite for many years.. actually bet on him at Belmont a few years ago; what a grand old man), The Tin Man, Lava Man (duh), and many more. But the girls are where my heart lies. They seem to disappear after they go to the breeding shed. Ouija Board, Wait a While, Balance, Fleet Indian (would love to know how she's healed and her produce record), Round Pond, Mushka.. so many, so little time!!

Do you mind figuring out what happened to Rags To Riches' first foal? And check up on Tiznow. I'd like to see what he's up to

@ Animalallover: Smokey Stover can be seen at Old Friends, Georgetown Ky.,:) Also I would love to know how MEGAHERTZ is doing, Please :)

It is just great to see Life Is Sweet. Thanks so much for these photos as well as a little update. Love seeing her running on the grass and knowing she has a couple of good buddies to play with. She gave us all a lot of joy!

I'd love an update on Curlin. He was so massive when he was racing. Is he still or has he gotten soft and comfy? Haven't heard a thing about any of his foals. Any photos? Also, the eternal longing for updates on Rags to Riches!! It won't go away. She and Curlin gave us the race of the decade (just my opinion). I heard she was a really great mother. Any news on her foals? And Octave. Where is she, how is she doing? She was such a steady contender with real guts and focus. Indian Blessing...where did she go? And, while we're on the girls, how about Better Than Honor. Wow, what a mare! Would love some updates on her.

Thanks so much for these gifts of pictures!!

Everyone has made such good choices. I'd like to add one of my own: Sightseek.

The ladies and geldings are so much harder to keep track of. Thanks for sharing.

I would love to know where Octive is as well Dreaming of anna was at three chimmeys but when I was there a couple of weeks ago and asked about her she is no longer there so please find out where she is , also someone asked about Evening Attire he has been retired and now lives at akendale farm in Pawling Ny Mcdyanamo is also retired and is used as a hunter but he has a good life. Songster from what I understand from Darley was sold without papers to a private farm to be used for a show horse they give updates to Darley and he has a home with old friends in ky if they dont want him anymore.

Great pictures, thanks for posting!

Hi Anne,

Thank you so much for the pictures and update on Life Is Sweet. Also, thank youf or the pictures of Rags To Riches and her filly. The filly is gorgeous, just like momma. The filly seems to have a nice slanted shoulder with good muscle front and back. May life be kind to her.

The only two horses I would add to everyone's list is the beautiful grey Stellar Jayne (who was Ashado's competition) and a gorgeous chestnut filly named India (trained by Todd Pletcher) who was retired not too long ago. She unfortunately had an accident a few years ago in the starting gate due to another horse acting up. She had a little success following surgery, but I don't think she lived up to her promise due to the injury. Her blood-lines were great. She had the look of eagles. So, I would love to know if she and Stellar Jayne are alive, mommies, and happy.

Thanks for the photos - she is a beauty. I, too, would like to see Pepper's Pride, and also Ginger Punch - she was a gutsy gal!

Pepper's Pride was bred to Distorted Humor at Winstar this spring.
