Well I think she looks nice enough, will be a nice looker when she fills her frame. Good hind leg for a sprinter.
I wouldn’t worry about negative comments, you wouldn’t have brought a horse without knowing it could be useless.
Well i’m damned sure MB wouldn’t have let you if you didn’t.October 7, 2008 at 23:05 #183983Thanks for all the comments – no offence taken, Fist.
As I’m a sucker for punishment
I thought you might like to see a picture of our other filly, Thankfully.
October 8, 2008 at 07:02 #184015Looks a nice filly to me Tuffers.
All in good proportion and stands well.
looks a likely type, hope she has a ticker to match.
October 9, 2008 at 23:27 #184156Race analysis from Racing Post:
This division was taken by the subsequent Horris Hill winner Beacon Lodge last year.
The runners were inclined to race further away from the stands’ rail early than they did in the opener, though a couple did edge over to it late on. Despite the smaller field and the presence of some massive outsiders, the winning time was over half a second quicker than division one and those with proven ability dominated.
FILM SET, just beaten by a rival with previous experience on his Pontefract debut, showed the benefit of that under a positive ride in these testing conditions, despite being weak in the market. He showed a decent attitude when the runner-up got to him and he was going away again at the line. A step up in class now looks to be in order.
Noverre To Go, who has shown ability in both of his previous starts but who raced too keenly in the first-time tongue tie at Goodwood last time, was produced to win his race in plenty of time, but he hung over to the stands’ rail under pressure and didn’t get home. He may have got there too soon, but he may also be worth another slight drop in trip and nurseries now become an option.
Shabib, a promising third in a Newmarket maiden on his debut last month from which the fifth horse has since been successful, was well backed to go two-better, but he became outpaced at halfway just as the principals went for home and, although he gradually clawed back some of the deficit, he was never doing it quickly enough. He looks in need of another step up intrip.
King’s Siren, despite plenty of speed on the dam’s side of her pedigree, seemed to need all of the 7f on her debut and it was a similar story over this slightly shorter trip, as she came off the bridle at halfway and could only plug on afterthat.
Fantastic Dubai, a $400,000 half-brother to three winners including the stable’s top-class miler Zafeen, showed up for a while but he showed signs of greenness and gradually dropped away. He may need better ground and is entitled to come on for this, but he will need to.
[b:optzvmfj] Feet Of Fury, a 7,000gns filly out of a winner in the US, wasn’t at all disgraced at this level considering her price. She will find easier opporunities than this and her breeding suggests she may be worth a try on sand at some stage. [DB]

She has her final run in maiden company on Thursday at Nottingham. Once that’s out of the way we should be able to have some fun with her.

PeterHi Peter
Her name is Thankfully,

October 15, 2008 at 15:25 #184847Thankfully pulled out of her box lame this morning so won’t be running tomorrow.
October 15, 2008 at 15:53 #184852Typical.
Bad luck.

She’s had a very frustrating first season for us. She’s prone to tying up but in addition has had several other muscle problems. I keep reminding myself that Elopement was a similar type and she also only ran twice in her first season with us and then ran 14 times the following year.

Who is the fan of line breeding among your group of owners? This makes 2/2 with notable linebreeding so I doubt it’s a fluke.
Thankfully has very close "pattern line breeding" in her pedigree.
Her fifth dam " Leading Home" is inbred 2*3 which my studies have found can produce exceptional performance of some decendants.
I would think Thankfully has a career as a broodmare when racing is finished.
Keep her!

Our trainer, Mark Brisbourne buys all of our fillies but our standing instructions to him are to buy fillies he feels will have broodmare value if they are successful.
We could do with some performances on the track first of course.

Leading Home doesn’t have any close crosses in her pedigree. She is linebred 4X5X5 to Voter, with no other duplications in her first 5 generations.

Leading home 1946 By Bull Lea whose dam is Rose Leaves[/color:3dm5hhnd].
Leading Homes dam Bounding Home is by the sire Espino a son of the mare Rose Leaves[/color:3dm5hhnd].
Leading Home is inbred 2×3 to Rose Leaves [/color:3dm5hhnd] a grandaughter of Voter.
Voter is actually 4×5,6,6 in Leading Home’s pedigree unless Tesiopower database has an error.Mark Brisbourne knows his stuff then when it comes to pedigree.
When you strike a mare that is high class on the track then you will have a very good broodmare. I was only suggesting you breed from her if she does turn out to be useful.
cheers
PeterOctober 16, 2008 at 17:58 #185034Leading Home
Tesiopower does have an error!
I cross checked through bloodhound and Leading Home’s dam is Marching Home not Bounding Home as in Tesiopower.Venusian you do your research thoroughly. Few readers would have taken the time to check the pedigree. A mark of respect you deserve.
October 16, 2008 at 22:32 #185055Thanks, Snoopo. Both pedigreequery and tesiopower can contain errors, especially the former, which occasionally throws up completely imaginary horses.
I usually crosscheck if something looks fishy.

PeterUnfortunately, having been pulled out of last week’s race, a scan has revealed she has torn a tendon and has been immediately retired. Anyone looking for a Green Desert filly out of a Darshaan mare for breeding purposes?
