00:00I can't get out of my mind I saw him down at OBS for the two-year-old sale, his breeze

00:06was spectacular, and then top of the sale, everything he did in his career, breaking

00:13his main sprinting on the dirt, winning a grade one stretching out, and then the Breeders

00:23Cup at Del Mar, and then going on and being a champion two-year-old, extremely difficult

00:32to do.

00:33Obviously Quality Road has done enough for all of us to understand what he's doing,

00:37I felt wasted tears, was a very very good mare, a Nashman mare, she obviously won the

00:41Ginny Wiley stakes, also a course record holder in the Ouija board, so really good female

00:47family, good sire line, was delighted with him physically and was excited to breed to

00:51him.

00:52It's very important for us to breed physical to physical and try to get the best physical

00:57cross.

00:58We're very happy with the foal we've gotten.

00:59He's got a great natural shape to him, great hip, got a lot of power behind, very nice

01:04balance to him, plenty leg, you always like to see a horse have enough leg, also he's

01:10a very intelligent foal, you know, pricks his ears, has good presence to him.

01:17This is a Cornish filly, out of Anima Gemella, been a standout since she was born.

01:24Very strong, very well made, good mover, really everything we were hoping for.

01:29You know, he's got a really sharp eye, good shoulder, neck set, nice top line, like the

01:36way he finishes out behind, but he really sort of travels over the ground smoothly and

01:40just has a real sharpness to him about his body and is exactly what I was hoping for,

01:45I mean we all know that hopes and dreams are not actually what they always pan out to be,

01:48so when they pan out, you're double down.
