- I tried to follow up on Sue's post about the ugly Secretariat, but it
- was gone, alas! Anyway,~
-
- As I'm sure all of you have seen/know, Secretariat himself was one
- fine example of a horse - he was gorgeous. Unfortunately, he didn't
- stamp his babies with his own fine qualities. The farm I worked for
- had the ugliest Secretariat filly you'll ever want to see. She was a
- touch roman nosed (don't know where she got it from) and had the most
- crooked legs from the knee down that I've ever seen.~
-
- She did go to the races - briefly. She was sold at Keeneland last
- fall, in foal to Seattle Song for around $20,000. I was amazed!
- Somebody obviously bought her on paper.~
-
- The sorry thing is that I also know all her brothers and sisters and
- she is the ugliest one of the bunch! (they are by in chron order for
- you TB people (following up on the colour thread, what talent to mix
- two threads together :-) I've included their colours. The mare,
- Golden Skate is a chestnut)
-
- Colt 1988 bay by Dixieland Band~
- Filly 1989 - chestnut by Secretariat~
- Filly 1990 - chestnut by Vice Regent~
- Colt - 1991 - chestnut by Spend A Buck~
- Colt - 1992 - bay by Saratoga Six~
-
- Currently in foal to Regal Classic - that should be a chestnut.~
