Weigelia might have a bit of an off-beat pedigree, but he was a stone cold runner and he has sired nothing but the same in his limited opportunities as basically a house stallion at WynOaks Farm in Pennsylvania — we believe he will make a fantastic first partner for Kuznetsov in the latest Housatonic Recommended… [Read More]

Our favorite tactic in planning matings for a mare is to find something that has already worked with her female family and find the best option for trying to duplicate that — for Winning Bet, that means a 2019 visit to Giant’s Causeway’s fantastically-bred son Imagining in a Housatonic Recommended Mating.

We purchased Kitten’s Peak for a client last January while she was in foal to the promising young stallion Fed Biz, and the mare was subsequently bred back to popular first-year sire Cupid for 2018.  In 2019, Kitten’s Peak will head to another son of Tapit when she visits the classic winner Tonalist in a… [Read More]

Our latest Housatonic Recommended Mating features Pinkprint, a daughter of Maryland’s legendary stallion Not For Love and a half-sister to last year’s Breeders’ Futurity-G1 winner Knicks Go, who will visit the veteran leading sire Tiznow. Given his long-standing record of success as a sire, Tiznow would make sense as a mate for just about any… [Read More]

The big, beautiful, hard-knocking race mare Smile Big will be mated with the epitome of a slam-dunk stallion prospect when she visits Mendelssohn in the latest 2019 Housatonic Recommended Mating. Smile Big’s looks can be inferred from the fact that, despite being a daughter of Big Drama out of a mare with no black-type, she… [Read More]

La Wildcat is a multiple stakes-winning sprinter by the similarly quick… [Read More]
