  • He Touched Many - by Headley Bell

    My mother, Alice Chandler, and I were scheduled to meet with the Editor-in-Chief of The Blood-Horse April 4 to reflect on her life and the transition of our familys Mill Ridge Farm. But it was hard that morning to also not reflect on the life of our dear friend Buddy Bishop, who had passed away the previous night after struggling with cancer for ...

  • Sales Sold - by Dan Liebman

    Few have the resources to do anything they want in the Thoroughbred industry. Sheikh Mohammed would be one of the exceptions. The news of the last few weeks only further validates how much the ruler of Dubai not only loves the Thoroughbred industry, but desires to be its most dominant global player. On March 24, news arrived that Sheikh ...

  • Labeling A Winner; All In A Name

     Recently I glanced at a horse classified section. There was an ad promoting a company that exists to help name horses. I thought to myself, ''man, I really enjoy brainstorming and coming up with clever ideas and names. I want to get paid for doing something fun like that.'' So, the gears started turning in my head.Some people look to name ...

  • A Broodmare Sire Worth Watching

    I've got to say, the Northern Dancer line never really excited me as broodmare sires.  Sure, there were loads of successes along the way, but you'd expect that just based on opportunity: a lot of well-bred mares had a lot of well-bred daughters by Northern Dancer and his sons, and just by sheer numbers they're likely to have their fair share ...

  • Readers are Breeders

    A recent poll asked The Five-Cross Files readers ''Are you a horse owner?''  It turns out that 2 out of 3 readers own at least one horse, and apparently several of you guys own a bunch of em.  Of those non-owners, half of you have had horses previously. Not surprisingly -- this is a breeding/pedigree-oriented blog, after all -- the ...

  • Keeneland Changes

    Keeneland made a lot of changes in its April sale of 2-year-olds in training and you have to give management there credit for trying. Director of sales Geoffrey Russell indicated the company would be open to doing some more tinkering in the future. One of the most popular suggestions from consignors and buyers for future change involves the ...

  • Fasig-Tipton's Future

    I don't know what was more shocking April 11, Michael Johns getting kicked off of ''American Idol'' or the announcement that an agreement had been reached for a company owned by a friend of Sheikh Mohammed's to buy Fasig-Tipton. Guess, after a little thought, I'll have to go with the Fasig-Tipton announcement. One fun thing about a Blog is that ...
