🟢⚪️ We wrote this Breeding Analysis for Murmur Farm's Blofeld two years ago today. His top two crosses remain with Storm Cat- and A.P. Indy-line mares, but he's done well with a wide variety of mares.
🟢⚪️ Blofeld has maintained his excellent statistics, and actually his BTW/runners ratio has increased to a sparkling 9% while his BTH/runners ratio still sits at 18%, and his average earnings per starter is now $10k higher than it was two years ago at $88,584.
🟢⚪️ If you're interested in sending a mare to Blofeld in 2026 and want to find out if your mare fits, don't hesitate to drop us a line!
