Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Sophie Antoinette
As a nick that produces Rasmussen Factor inbreeding to the legendary Miesque, Karakontie’s success with Lemon Drop Kid mares makes loads of sense.
24 Coffee Pond
chestnut colt 4/5/24
By Raging Bull out of Coffee Pond, by Havana Gold
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Areuhavingfunyet
Although Areuhavingfunyet was purchased earlier this year as a racing prospect, things did not work out as planned and she won’t get a chance to improve on the strong 2nd-place finish that she attained in her second start.

By Tapiture out of Wild For Love, by Not For Love
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Frame of Mind (revised)
Frame of Mind’s family has had success with Street Cry and A.P. Indy, so she makes perfect sense to send to Speaker’s Corner in 2024, as he’s bred on that cross.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Irish Pharaoh
Tapiture gets a large number of winners and 2YO winners, and as such he continues to be a strong value option for a mare owner looking to race her offspring.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Wowwhatabrat
We loved the match of Wowwhatabrat with Blofeld last year, and see no reason not to take her right back to him again in 2024.

24 No More Excuses
dark bay/brown filly 3/15/24
By Speaker’s Corner out of No More Excuses, by Not For Love
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Modernism (revised)
Given some recent racetrack developments, we’re going to switch up which son of Into Mischief that Modernism will visit in ‘24 — she’s now slated to head to Airdrie Stud for a date with the second-year stallion Highly Motivated.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 — Floral Hall (revised)
Floral Hall’s immediate family has had repeated successes with the A.P. Indy sire-line, and as such she’ll make a great match for that horse’s upwardly-mobile son Army Mule in 2024.
24 Floral Hall
bay colt 3/5/24
By Greatest Honour out of Floral Hall, by Bodemeister
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Saucily (revised)
It’s always important to be flexible with mating plans, and Saucily is now slated for a different exciting new G1W stallion in 2024 than we’d initially planned – she’ll head to the court of Annapolis.
24 Buff’s In Love
dark bay/brown colt 3/2/24
By Paynter – Buff’s In Love, by Buffum
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Queen Ann
The recently acquired broodmare prospect Queen Ann comes from a deep and active Claiborne Farm family; for her first mating she gets a shot with the exciting up-and-coming Maryland stallion Blofeld
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Zarella
With a potentially stakes-caliber half-brother back to the races in 2024, and a promising freshman sire from that line one that we’re high on, we’re excited to switch Zarella to Instagrand in 2024.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Lime Squash
Lime Squash is a half to a multiple stakes winner by a grandson of Danzig, and will get a visit in 2024 with the exciting first-year stallion Two Phil’s, who is also a Danzig grandson.
24 Mad Grace
bay filly 2/24/24
By Aloha West out of Mad Grace, by English Channel
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – I’m Engaged
I’m Engaged is now up to 5 winners from 5 foals of racing age, and for 2024 she’ll stay local and get an intriguing matchup with our favorite Mid-Atlantic sire, Blofeld.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Cascabella
Blofeld has just one runner so far out of an Afleet Alex mare, but with that foal being a six-figure earner, it makes sense to send Afleet Alex’s black-type placed daughter Cascabella to him in 2024.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Queen Mum
Maclean’s Music is poised for a big couple of seasons, and Queen Mum matches up intriguingly with him for some reasons that we believe should trump a subpar nick rating.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Coffee Pond
After producing pretty foals by a couple of young, unproven stallions, Coffee Pond gets a shot with a thoroughly-proven, veteran turf stallion in 2024

By Liam’s Map out of Gun Slingin, by Gun Runner

With a successful turf sibling and several close relatives that excelled on the track by Giant’s Causeway, Aquatic Approach made all the sense to send to Up to the Mark in 2024.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Hurryupandcomeback
We believed that Aloha West would make an excellent match for Hurryupandcomeback in 2023, and all that logic still applies so she’ll head for a repeat mating at Mill Ridge in ’24.

bay filly 2/8/24
By Midshipman out of Giving Spirit, by Ghostzapper
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Wand Work
With a black-type half-brother by Maclean’s Music at the track, and our belief that MM is destined for a big couple of years, Wand Work heads his way for her first mating in 2024.
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Desert Rendezvous
With a female family that’s already had success with Medaglia d’Oro and his sons, Desert Rendezvous will be a solid match for the gorgeous first-year stallion Dr. Schivel in ’24

chestnut colt 1/30/24
By Dialed In out of Ebb Tide, by Medaglia d’Oro
Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Giving Spirit

By Midshipman out of Paw Prints, by Kitten’s Joy

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – No More Excuses
Army Mule is a rapidly ascending son of the MD-based Friesan Fire, and will be a perfect match for No More Excuses, a half-sister to a MD Million Classic winner by that regional stallion.
Housatonic Recommended Purchases – Giving Spirit (IFT Midshipman)
Midshipman is one of our favorite proven Kentucky value stallions — his stats make him a great choice with which to start off a young mare like the well-bred Giving Spirit.
