Interesting pedigrees

Here is that pedigree Ticino.  Mad inbreeding but at least not 2 x 3 like some try.  Way too close then.  He was a decent horse with two G2's and and G3 to his name.  And plenty of G1 places.

I got a phone call a few hours ago telling me my mare Maymay had to be euthanized. She could have produced many good foals but it was not to be. Her 2025 filly foal is six weeks old.

So sorry Diomed.  I presume she was the Fr mare Maymay.  Will the filly foal survive?

Her six week old filly foal is very active and very correct. She had an unusual habit - she led her dam out to the field, not following like other foals.

Shortly before the bad news phone call I watched my gelding Saint Eligius finishing 3rd of 15 in a handicap in France.

A winner of three including today this on is interesting and one I've followed from the sales.  I've noticed Darby have a similar eye to me.  I have followed a fair amount of ones they have bought!

The filly foal born 17th May 2025 (mentioned in my post  22 May 2025 at 11:38am) was put down this afternoon. She had a twisted gut.
