Night Thrasher by Nightwing out of Different. Will Race as a 2yo next season.
We are excited that a Nightwing foal will splash on the racing scene in 2009. Nightwing was our first big earner. We always consider him to be the foundation of our stable. As a result, we have been waiting inpatiently for his offspring to come along.
Nightwing was an all-surface stayer with tremendous stamina. We chose Different as the broodmare (although she was not our first choice) because of her surface adaptability and comparable stamina.
In spite of deep lungs on both genetic sides, Night Thrasher appears to be a sprinter. He does have capability on both dirt and grass, consistency, and good acceleration. Additionally, he'll be ready to run as a 2yo.
One concern is a tendancy to start slowly, a trait passed down by Nightwing no doubt. That is not particularly desirable for a sprinter.
Of course, we'll test our theories about Night Thrasher on the track. Perhaps he'll surprise us and have more distance in him than we suspect.
