There were quite a few horses at the two-year-olds in training sales last year by Hook and Ladder that could really run. Some of them are nice hosses.

Sons of Dixieland Band seem to do OK at stud... I wonder how the Bowman's Band two year olds are going to look this year when they hit the track.

Here's a neat bloodhorse comparison of the 2...
http://www.bloodhorse.com/stallion-r...s/default.aspx note: Scroll down to the comparison section. If you enter Hook And Ladder you can then compare him to Bowmans Band, etc. Purty cool. H & L has done well. He deserves credit. You'd think the Bowman's Band juvis should do well also. BB looks stockier than H&L. Last edited by sumitas : 03-17-2008 at 05:33 PM. |

The NY State Breeding and Development Fund provides an incentive to breed to NY stallions. If you breed to a NY stallion your breeder/owner awards are 20% of purses earned, and if by an out of state stallion the award is 10% of purse earned. The breeder has the option of trying for the bigger breeder awards or higher quality stallions. There is nothing devious about the rules. They are very straightforward.

Thank you pgiaco. I am not an expert on any breeding rules and I appreciate your educating myself. That rule makes a whole lot of sense to me.
I'm here to learn not just shout. |

Glad I can help, Sumitas. NY does a good job of trying to level the playing field as far as breeding goes. It sometimes is a difficult decision, Since I run some of my NY breds out of state I tend toward the KY stallions. But I have a couple of Catienus babies (before he left NY) and I am a fan of Freud and I'm sending a mare to Hook and Ladder this year.
