Sumwonlovesyou is in foal..
 

A successful cover of Sumwonlovesyou by Purim as the pair get it right on the first try!

Mazel Tov!

Another check up in a few weeks (at 30 days) before we can be sure all is well. If so, she will will move sometime during the summer to NY.

good news!

i'm not very familiar with ny breeding rules. does she just have to foal there or does she have to be bred back to a ny stallion as well?

To run in NY bred races she just has to foal there. There are additional NY stallion races which require being bred to a NY stallion.

There is probably a date that she has to be 'in-state' to qualify.

For example, in Illinois, you can keep a mare on Mars until October 30th, but she has to be IN STATE on November 1st, and they have like 25 people that spend two weeks going to farms to verify, after they foal, they can leave right away.

NY bred conditions...

Resident Mares: Must be continuously in residence in New York State from within 90 days after last cover in the year of conception, and thereafter remain in residence until FOALING the following year, with no breed-back required.

Non-Resident Mares: Must FOAL in New York State, be BRED BACK to a registered New York-based stallion, and remain for a continuous period of 90 days after foaling.

Whoa...Those are really strict and guided

so, since she's shipping soon, i guess you're going for 'resident' status, which requires no breed back?

Great news!

What...why should NY make that any easier for owners than it does everything else?..It's amazing that people actually want to own and race horses in NY the way they nickel and dime you to death.

EDIT...That's kind of harsh on my part...Let's just say that with all the special fees and deductions from purse accounts, the seperate set of silk rules that are different from every other state and the less than user friendly licensing offices, it wouldn't be my first choice to race unless I lived there.

Its great that our DT baby is going to be a NY bred... one of the BEST breeding incentive programs out there... like 2nd behind New Mexico (GREAT incentive programs).

Pennsylvania is real good also in this category.

Great to hear! :) hopefully get to see her sometime later this summer.

Well done, Momma!

I wouldn't be naming the offspring. It's a foal share with Richland Hills, meaning it's 90% likely to be sold.

sumwonslonggone? :D

Do I have to pass out cigars ?

seeyousumwhere

What about the other 10% :confused: any chance the original partnership gets a piece of the foal or was that partnership (DT#1) dissolved when she retired?

As long as I get one ;)

Yes, what is the deal? Is there a contract in this 90/10 split? Who's paying the expenses for the mare and the foal? What if (God forbid) the foal doesn't make it and it's another year of expenses before foal number 2?

Where do we stand?

Sending a letter out with details.

Your name is on the first one !! As long as you have a Cold UC !!

wow - just heard that she originally conceived twins. Will only deliver one, one was pinched off. On ATR today with Dr. Allday

Thanks for the update :) - Steve, any idea when you'll have time to share the breeding career details?

Pinched off?

yep-that's what it's called when you remove one of the embryos. twins are very, very rare in horses-and most of the time neither twin survives. best to remove one now, rather than chance problems later in the pregnancy.
