...Reader Kelly that has seen the rump of his mount. Majideh was taken to the Homestall Stud Farm in Sussex, England in 1953 to be covered by Migoli, and returned to Homestall in 1954 to drop her foal. Since a horse is considered to be bred in the country where it was foaled, Gallant Man is English...
...felt that she had earned a life of leisure at home in New Jersey. When she was retired in 1932, the Moores imported a great Scottish stallion, Ophelius, as a stud. Pippin would have nothing to do with the old horse. (Later breeding with an American stud produced one foal, but it was never shown.) So Pippin lived out her years on the wooded acres of Seaton Hackney Farm-alert, lovely, always a pleasure to watch working in harness. Last week, at 36 (the equivalent of more than 100 years in a human), she developed a serious case of colic...
...King. Currently at stud in Kentucky, and booked to 38 mares this year, Polynesian looked like a real bargain. Last year he ranked second only to Bull Lea* as a sire of moneywinners, and his stud fees have steadily risen from $1,500 to $5,000 for a live foal. Averaging 20 foals a year for the next ten years, his expectancy, Polynesian can be expected to return $1,000,000 on the syndicate's investment...
...Hoot Mon's forebear was Hambletonian X, ancestor of almost every modern U.S. trotter and pacer. In 24 seasons, he got 1,331 foals, bringing nearly $200,000 in stud fees to his owner, a onetime farm hand named William Rysdyk, who bought him for $125. Hambletonian (after whom the race is named) in turn was sired by Abdallah I, an evil-tempered individualist who, after siring hundreds of foal's, wound up at 31 hitched to a fish peddler's wagon. After venerefully kicking the wagon to pieces, proud old Abdal lah spent the final months...
...superlative son of Polynesian (leading money-winning sire of two-year-olds this season) is the second foal of Geisha (a fair-to-middling Vanderbilt mare by the great Discovery). "He doesn't have a nerve in his body, or a drop of temperament," according to Trainer Winfrey. This is one explanation of the Dancer's greatness. Another, Winfrey suspects, is inside the colt's deep chest: "Those lungs may be his greatest asset. At the end of a race he never shows the slightest sign of being winded or tired." Winfrey likens Native Dancer...
