April 9, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Areuhavingfunyet

April 5, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Mia Rosa

April 2, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

The MG1W turf miler Raging Bull is horse that we have a lot of time for, and are looking forward to sending the big, pretty, well-bred mare Mia Rosa his way in ‘24.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Frame of Mind (revised)

March 30, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

March 26, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

March 22, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 — Misty Sky

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Modernism (revised)

March 12, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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)

March 9, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Saucily (revised)

March 5, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Queen Ann

March 1, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

February 29, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

February 27, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – I’m Engaged

February 22, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

February 21, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

February 20, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

February 16, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Aquatic Approach

February 13, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

February 12, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Wand Work

February 6, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

February 3, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Giving Spirit

January 30, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

With her half-brother by Speightstown looking to be stakes quality, Giving Spirit makes perfect sense to send to Speightstown’s wickedly fast son Nashville in 2024.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Mad Grace

January 29, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

Versatility is the byword of the match between Oscar Performance and Mad Grace, who have both had success on multiple surfaces over a range of distances — in addition to pedigrees that blend well.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Paw Prints

January 21, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – No More Excuses

January 16, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

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)

January 12, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 — Itgetsgreaterlater

January 12, 2024 by Housatonic Bloodstock

We believe that Gunite has a chance to be one of the most commercially successful stallions retiring for 2024, and he makes a great fit for the young Justify mare Itgetsgreaterlater.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Raggedy

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – American Thriller

December 11, 2023 by Housatonic Bloodstock

Maclean’s Music is poised to break out commercially in the next couple of years, and should be a perfect complement to the Michael Tabor-bred American Thriller.

Housatonic Recommended Matings for 2024 – Modernism

December 7, 2023 by Housatonic Bloodstock
