This past year has been a big one for Housatonic Bloodstock, and we want to thank all of the amazing clients who made that happen! Among the highlights of our 2019:
- We helped our friends at Wasabi Ventures Stables acquire their first stallion, the Grade 1-winning millionaire Force the Pass, and are helping manage his stud career at Anchor & Hope Farm where he’ll cover his first mares in 45 days or so. We have also helped them grow their broodmare band to a couple dozen.
- Two Maryland-bred yearling fillies by Declaration of War and Munnings that were both foaled at, raised and sold by GreenMount Farm for Greenspring Mares LLC (both Housatonic Recommended Matings) sold at the Fasig-Tipton Timonium Yearling Sale for fantastic prices.
- Mega Millions, who was born at, raised and sold by GreenMount Farm for Greenspring Mares LLC, broke his maiden as a 2YO this summer at Delaware. He was an in utero Housatonic Recommended Purchase.
- Our homebred Nautical Nature picked up his second career victory for our partners this summer at Delaware.
- We recently helped Connie Erickson acquire the Grade 3-winning millionaire Rise Up to stand at stud in Oregon at Oakhurst Thoroughbreds.
And looking ahead to an even bigger and better 2020, we are expecting a large crop of foals bred from Housatonic Recommended Matings, or out of dams that we recently helped clients acquire (see below) — best of luck to everyone this coming breeding and foaling season, and Happy New Year!
