 Lane's End Stakes (gr. 2) ThoughtsI have been aching for a Rock Hard Ten to really show himself to be a Derby contender, because I LOVE Rock Hard Ten! I want his first 3YO crop to have representation in the Run for the Roses. So Doubles Partner (by Rock Hard Ten, Serena's Sister by Rahy) will be a major favorite of mine in this race.Let's ...

Each March, editors of The Blood-Horse MarketWatch review a list of the previous year’s graded stakes-winning horses, attempting to identify runners whose dams deserve special recognition as top producers. We pore over data that show some standard information — number of foals, runners, and winners, as you’ll see in a few leaders lists in this ...

The triumphant progress was interrupted when, taken further off the ...

III), went to Chinchon, who carries the colors of Darpat SL (keen pedigree student Dario Hinojosa), and is a Pedigree Consultants recommended mating. By Marju (by Last Tycoon), Chinchon has the brother and sister Try My Best and Northern Prancer at the top and bottom of his ...

March 18 might as well have gone down as Kingmambo (TrueNicks,SRO) day in France, as his sire ons dominated the stakes events at Deauville. The 6½ furlong Prix Montenica, for three-year-old colts and geldings, went to Too Nice Name, a son of Kingsalsa. A group III winning miler, Kingsalsa also finished second in the Prix de la Salamandre ...
