Have a look at this filly bred by Brett Coffey – what a lovely type!
She’s the one in the foreground.
She’s by Tintin In America from the 6-win (1.57.4) Live Or Die mare I Am Special.
She reminds me a lot of Tintin when he was a similar age, especially that head and the eye!

Nevele R tell me that Tintin In America got 54 mares this past season, compared to 40 in his first season, and the type he is leaving is exciting.
He deserves quality mares like I Am Special, who won the WASBA Breeders Stakes, and gained 11 places as well as her 6 wins.
I’m interested in hearing from breeders of real quality mares, particularly by Live Or Die, Badlands Hanover, Grinfromeartoear, Soky’s Atom, Holmes Hanover and Falcon Seelster, and younger mares from top sires like Art Major and Bettor’s Delight who would consider putting their mare to Tintin In America this coming season. I would love to see him get some really top mares.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss: bee.raglan@xtra.co.nz
He was a racehorse with freakish acceleration and attitude, and the strength to hold his phenomenal sprint further and further as he matured.

Hi Bee, follow your blogs all the time and have learned a lot but am generally still somewhat baffled by the breeding industry although I love studying bloodlines etc. I have a mare, Gwyneth, by Soky’s Atom out of a Vance Hanover mare. Whilst I think she has done a good job I don’t know if she is up to the level that you are talking about as she has left no group winners or place getters. She has missed this season and last to Mach Three so it is time to move on. Would also like any advice you may have for a trot mare, Smitten that I own. She has been served by Majestic Son as a maiden mare this season. Look forward to hearing back from you at some stage. Regards Mark Nickel (Tabman Enterprises Ltd)
Will have a look and get back to you. Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the blog. We are all learning!!
Yes the industry baffles me sometimes, too.
If the industry isn’t clear about its direction, just make sure you are clear about yours – what you love doing, why you are doing it, how commercial you want or need to be.
The more we are clear about our own goals, the more we have a chance to succeed in at least getting closer (and enjoying ourselves).
