FoalsI have been fortunate
to own a few horses over the years that were what I considered to be worthy
breeding material. To qualify as such, the horse must possess several
qualities that are likely to make it's offspring contributors to the betterment
of the breed. To name a few, the horse must have a good pedigree, with
lots of black type up close. They must have good conformation with no
abnormalities. I like to see a good performance record as well. Jess is in foal
again, this time to Slew City Slew with a due date of February 23, 2008. Jess foaled at 4:30am on February 21st with many people watching from all over the country. The foal cam was a huge success. I am glad so many of you were able to share this special time with us. Allison gets to her feet for the first time

An example of this is my mare Honour, her mother produced six foals, all
of whom were multiple winners. Honour herself won 13 races by the time
she was five years old. Honour produced three foals before she passed
away unexpectedly on Good Friday, 2003. All three of her foals are
multiple winners. Her first foal Jess retired completely sound in
November of 2004 with earnings of $130,000 following her 11 1/4 length
allowance victory at Pimlico in which she received a beyer number of 93.
That is almost unheard of for a mare.
