LOUISVILLE 2010 I: A night of firsts

Owned and bred by Fischer Sisters LLC of Anchorage, KY, I'M FIRST BORN bested a field of 19 yearlings to capture the World's Champion ASR Futurity Of Kentucky title. She was presented by Mark and Whitney Bodnar, noted Morgan trainers, making their first appearance in Freedom Hall. This also marks the first World's Champion offspring of our multi-titled World's Champion stallion, I'M FIRST. The flaxen mane and tail filly is out of WC Simbara’s Cara Mia, a full-sister to our famous broodmare, WGC CH A Sweat Treat. Adding to the story, Cara Mia won this very same class back in 1995 with Carter Cox showing for owner/breeder Dr. Simon Fredricks.

On Wednesday, NOBU captured the Reserve World's Champion Open Harness Pony Stallion/Gelding class with John Scheidt on the lines. Nobu is trained by Rich and Maureen Campbell at Majestic Oaks.

Congratulations to Dr. Catherine McNeese of Austin, TX on her purchase of STONECROFT ROYAL SCANDAL

This beautiful two year old chestnut colt is sired by Undulata's Nutcracker and out of Majestic Jane. He should make Texas proud!

Congratulations to R. Alan Failor and Ginger Perry-Failor of Woodinville, WA on their purchase of STONECROFT LADY JANE

WC Belle Reve's Renaissance Man and Majestic Jane teamed up to present us with this very special 2007 chestnut filly, and we couldn't be more pleased. We're excited to watch her grow and develop under her new ownership!

The temperatures might be dropping, but sales are HOT! RWC STONECROFT TANQUERAY (Unlisted x Perfect Manhattan) has found an adoring new owner in Patricia Watson of Baltimore, MD (pictured left). STONECROFT BUBBLES (Heir to Champagne x Forbidden), a promising 4 yr old mare, was selected by Rickey Walker of Wytheville, VA. Chris Smith of Wauconda, IL couldn't go home without taking STONECROFT CHARADE (Seaforth's Billion Heir x WC That Special Face) along for the ride. STONECROFT SWEETEST MOMENT (My Magical Moment x WGC A Sweet Treat), one of the last daughters of this great mare, is now under the ownership of Astrid Mayer of Anchorage, KY (pictured right).

WC CH Amusing returns home to Stonecroft to begin what will undoubtedly be yet another successful career as a producer of World Champions. We are thrilled to return this outstanding mare to the fold. Sired by WC Santana's Charm and out of Concubine [BHF], she was expertly trained by Premiere Stables and ridden by Amy Dix Rock to multiple World's Championships.
