Default Spendthrift New Stallions

Spendthrift Farm announced yesterday the addition of three new stallions to their farm. Tiz Wonderful, Into Mischief, and Notional.

Currently they stand Malibu Moon, Action This Day, Don't Get Mad, and Teton Forest.

They had a great party, even got to meet Lynn Swann.

I was wandering the same thing. Thought I remember getting a workout notice for him not too long ago.

He is not retired yet , planning on making a start soon , and hoping to be able to run in one of the Breeders Cup undercard races. He had a minor setback when we shipped from Del -Mar got a lil case of shipping fever, but he has been back galloping about 6 days and will most likely work here soon.

What do you find interesting about Notional's pedigree?

Same sire as Indian Charlie ?

Do you really think any of these three are better than Malibu Moon?

That already makes him a better bred horse than most on the planet!

The difference between the two though, however, is that IC came about as a result of someone having sent the only decent mare ever sent to INXS.

Now, as for Into Mischief, he's due to race back soon, but is listed as a stallion at Spendthrift????

That is odd.

You have to go along ways back to get any Northern Dancer or native Dancer blood. He has a relatively obscure mare named La Morlaye on both sides of his pedigree in the 4th generation. And I like French Deputy as a broodmare sire along with in Excess as a sire.

malibu moon has done very well for himself. if they get any of those others to produce as well as him, then they've done VERY well for themselves with those new aquisitions.

All three of these horses graduated from 2yo in training sales.

Tiz Wonderful posted a sales record 20.60 quarter mile at Fasig Tipton Calder. His stride length measurement of 27+ feet was also the longest of any horse that year.

Forest Music was the only other horse I ever remember running a 20 and change quarter at the Calder sale. She won her debut nicely with a 107 Beyer figure - and was rushed into the BC Juvenile fillies out west a few weeks later in start #2 and was eased. Ended up being a multiple Graded Stakes winning sprinter who would set strong paces and always stagger home.

Tiz Wonderful is the best athlete that Tiznow has thrown. It will be interesting to see how he does as a sire.

He was a huge horse who struggled badly around turns. He looked like he was making hard work of it in his debut at Saratoga - and suddenly won by 15 with something like a 98 Beyer with a monster finish. In the two-turn stake he ran at 2 - it looked like Any Given Saturday had him put away on the turn - and he turned him back in the stretch.

Into Mischief came out of the same sale (obs mar) and same small consignment (M & H) that Japan's 2yo champ Goshawk Ken and Santa Anita Derby favorite El Gato Malo came out of.

Notional was from Barretts March.

...which probably explains the paltry 21 cumulative starts these 3 made during their respective racing careers. Not to mention the cumulative one blown suspensory, one bowed tendon, one broken cannon bones, a broken coffin bone and a really bad foot they bring to the table.
