Voler La Vedette retired

Slattsy

Looks like Big Bucks wrecked her last year.


Goodbye my beauty, enjoy the life of a broodmare (hooker)

A great mare who fully deserved her grade one. Will always remember when she thrashed Go Native a few years back.

Weapons Amnesty retired also. I'd nearly retire myself today at this rate.

Not a huge surprise, he showed nil over hurdles at Xmas

Pity, thought he was a potential Gold Cup winner before his injury troubles

Glad the mare is retired she looked like she had enough.The next question is would you be rushing to buy her offsprings.Ive seen the best of mares who have been run into the ground throw zero.

At least she was retired sound. A lovely horse who won me a few bob over the years.

If I was buying a horse and had the money I wouldnt hesitate in buying one of her foals.

How many has Feathard Lady foaled so far does anyone know? Didn't Graham Wylie paying big money for her after she retired? She had a leg in every county if I remember correctly!

I remember people on Betfair commenting that she sounded reasonable value when Wylie bought her, 270k I think!

Declan Phelan used that phrase on Betfair to describe her. Said he wouldn't have touched her.

I dont get this that Big Bucks wrecked her or broke her heart and she hasnt been the same since???

Just another won of the horses who have regressed since big bucks smashed them,ran the race of her life in the WH and still got beat.


Will always remember the day she beat that mule blackstairmountain a great race to watch.

Will always remember I had a big bet on her to beat Mourad the day the Betfair malfunction. I was listening to the race on Timeform radio with the prices up, I couldn't understand what was going on, there was something like 29 million pounds to be matched at 23 or something like that

I was fond of that little mare. Sorry to see her retired.

Thud

anywhere (other than Racing Post members section) to look up progeny?
Would be interested to see what Asian Maze, Solerina, Sweet Kiln, Blazing liss and a few othere have produced...

UrbanSea

Thud, you can see the ones that have been sold for free on Racing Post. Not sure where else, that's the one I use

think you need to pay their membership fee to see their names though, used to be free

Soteira was only one i could find, out of Solerina, doesn't look much good though.
Also found a story that an Asian Maze 3yo foal went for 100k in 2011

UrbanSea

You can see their names as long as they were named going through the ring, this might not be as common with jumps racing progeny given they don't start racing as early as flat
