A new turf monster is born...
 

i loved watching megahertz ! let's hope her babies are that fun to watch!

I know Megahurtz never won an eclipse, but, out of curiousity....

Over the last 25 years, how many of these champion 2-year-old fillies or champion filly and mares have dropped a champion in the breeding shed?

The only one I can think of was Inside Information (perhaps the most naturally talented filly I've ever seen)

And the champion she dropped (Smuggler) has to rate as one of the all-time worst to ever win that award. As much a fan of II that I was, and as much as I loved the name Smuggler---I have to admit, Smuggler was a complete dog biscuit with modest talent...if she had any at all

All the years I can remember looking at these message boards, theres always people who make a big deal when a top filly or racemare has had a new foal----and, the vast majority of the time, these horses couldn't outrun me.

How about Handicap Mare Champion Glorious Song? Dam of Singspiel...

DrugS intentially said 25 years so you couldn't include her.

That would be correct.

Although, Glorious Song was a champion 27 years ago.

What's very interesting about Singspeil, is that he is the only horse to ever win an Eclipse Award without ever having made a single start in the USA.

Yeah.. figures.

Not a Champion, but close.. War Chant out of Hollywood Wildcat.

Storm Flag Flying out of My Flag was also close.

And after SFF---you had to hear about that miserable Leading the Parade weekly on the boards---until he had finally proven to everyone he was a bum

how bout Flanders.. didnt she have Surfside?

Flanders was a Champion 2yo and Surfside was Champion 3yo all in the last 25 years! (according to pedigreequery)

What do I win?

You want to talk turf breeding, wait until the foal arrives from Kingmambo / Ouija Board.

I believe I read somewhere that she would be heading in his direction.

her lovely face graces the cover of this week's bloodhorse...title is 'King for the queen' or something like that

King Board?

Ouijamambo?

:D

Where is Intercontinental? Who has she been bred to?

Answered my own question... Produced a filly by Empire Maker on 2/13/06.

Empire Maker will end up becoming the one of the best American turf sires out there. I guarantee he will throw a couple Arlington Million winners

Dance Smartly produced a Canadian champion, in Dancethruthedawn...does that count?
