I was about to post this in the Paddock, and then realized MMSC would already have been on top of it in International.

I make no secret of being angry that breeding controls the sport, but I can't help being happy at this news. How many was he said to have actually impregnated? Seven?

I thought the number was six, but I'm not sure.

Hints that Coolmore doesn't believe there will be ANY other Geo. Washington foals. Makes this a fascinating filly...

The last I heard was that many of the mares had 'slipped' and that his one remaining mare in foal was somewhere in Italy. So whether this mare has moved from Italy to Ireland or whether there are at least two, I'm not sure.

Why couldn't she have been at the National Stud here..... I would have been with the foal everyday then.
