09.02.08 A Future Champion Is Born

My fave race mare of recent times (ok ok she's joint equal with Bosra Sham!) Ouija Board has had her first foal. A colt by the mighty USA based sire Kingmambo who commands a mind boggling fee of $250k for one shot of spunk. Really puts the human male species into prospective doesn't it??

Anyway he looks a carbon copy of herself & I always thought her very pretty (see above). This foal will be so valuable its unreal. I hope Lord Derby keeps him & races him for at least three years because the racing scene needs a new champ.

For her next foal Ouija is off to Monsun sire of the recent top colts Manduro & Shirocco with another hefty stud fee of 120k euro's (approx £84k) though this may rise to 150k in the next few years. He is a top German middle distance horse. Nothing but the best for this girl. I can't wait to see this baby either. Roll on 2009!
