I don't want to hear "oh this video doesn't have music" or oh "wow thats not alot of pictures."
Update 1
Roy and Gretchen Jackson's La Ville Rouge produced a full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner Barbaro May 18. The Dynaformer colt, who was foaled at Mill Ridge Farm near Lexington, weighs 138 pounds.
"While only a day old, he appears to have plenty of leg and bone and is a quality foal," said Headley Bell, managing partner of Mill Ridge. "Any time you have a healthy foal you are thankful. Especially when it is a brother to Barbaro. The Jacksons are considering breeding the mare back to Dynaformer, for they have always sought a sister to Barbaro."
The newborn is the seventh foal out of La Ville Rouge, whose other offspring include stakes winner Holy Ground (by Saint Ballado) and Barbaro's stakes-placed full brother Nicanor. The Dynaformer/La Ville Rouge combination also is responsible for winner Lentenor and the 2-year-old colt, Margano.
Update 2
It looks like Roy and Gretchen Jackson have made the decision to have Margano join the barn of Mr. Barclay Tagg, who is home based at Belmont Park in Elmont New York.
Margano, a two year old colt sired by Dynaformer and produced from La Ville Rouge on March 10, 2009 at Mill Ridge Farm, is the full brother to Barbaro, Nicanor, and Lentenor. Also, Mill Ridge Farm reported today that La Ville Rouge is still very pregnant and due any day now!
Margano recently made the trek up north from Ocala, Florida. Just like his brothers before him, Margano started his training at Stephens Thoroughbreds down in Florida.
I feel for Mr. Matz and his staff, being that this is the first brother that won't be under their guidance, but in the long run, it might benefit all those involved. I just hope Margano gets the care and love that Barbaro, Nicanor, and Lentenor recieved from all in Mr. Matz's barn, they are a class act!
The Jacksons (Lael Stable) have had numerous horses under the guidance of Mr. Tagg in the past and presently have quite a few in Mr. Tagg's barn.
I would have to say, one of the more prominent horses the Jackson's trusted with Mr. Tagg was one of my favorites, the Champion Showing Up. Showing Up was a multiple Graded Stakes Winner, winner of the 2006 Grade II Coolmore Lexington Stakes, 2006 Grade I Secretariat Stakes, 2006 Grade II Jamaica Breeders' Cup Handicap, and the 2006 Grade I Hollywood Derby.
Showing Up also placed sixth in the 2006 Kentucky Derby, a race that Margano's big brother Barbaro won. In Showing Up's last race, the Grade 2 Maker's Mark Mile on April 13th 2007, he placed second behind another true Champion, Kip Deville. Showing Up finished his brief, but brilliant career, with a record of 10 Starts, 7 Wins, 1 Second, and 1 Third, with career earning's of $1,660,500.
Update 3
Riches Causeway has most likely begun training as a 2 year old and will make her debut maybe around the end or the middle of the year. I will keep you guys posted as I said I couldn't find much on her just the yearling pictures.
