00:01The TDN stopped in at Del Ridge Farm, where three-time grade one winner Gina Romantica
00:06recently had her first foal. Des Ryan tells us about the new colt by Gunrunner.
00:13He's doing great, arrived pretty straightforward foaling, got up and nursed pretty fast and just
00:20did great from the get-go. Mayor was a great mom from the start as well. It was pretty
00:26straightforward. Maiden mares sometimes can be a little bit standoffish, but she
00:30took the motherhood straight away and did everything like we'd like them to do.
00:35After seeing such a really nice foal out of her, Mr. Brant decided he's gonna bring
00:38her back to Gunrunner again this year. He's obviously a very big fan of Gunrunner
00:42with Sierra Leone and all that, and he's bred a couple of other mares as
00:48Gunrunner as well. He's got the personality of Gina and he's got kind of
00:53look at the class of her as well. Very nice to be around, just a good straightforward foal.
00:59So I think a bit of the mum and dad in him, you know, but definitely a lot of the
01:01mum in him.
01:03I've had Gina here when she's had a little break when she's on the racetrack. She's
01:07always been a very classy filly when she's on the racetrack to be around on the farm
01:11here. Just straightforward, easy going. It was great to get her back here, to get her
01:15bread and foal her out. She's just easy going. We're honoured to have all these nice mares and Mr.
01:22Brands here, like we are with all our clients. So it's nice to have mares who have been superstars
01:29on the racetrack and have him back here and have him foal him.
