Crackerjack, Darkhawk, Jack the Ripper, Samurai Jack


These are the foals sired by Union Jack and Nightwing.

Crackerjack (2013), 15.2 hand bay colt
By Union Jack out of In Spirit by Bellbuster

This horse will mature quickly and be at peak performance early (2-3).
This horse will have an average performance peak, at least two racing seasons.
This horse is ok on hard dirt.
This horse is good on soft dirt.
This horse is good in mud.
This horse prefers hard turf.
This horse prefers soft turf.
This horse has physical problems that may lead to alot of injury downtime.
This horse has average ratability.
This horse looks like it can run at classic distances

A classic distance turfer is exactly what we wanted with this pairing.


Darkhawk (2013), 17 hand bay colt
By Nightwing out of Flawless by War Chant

This horse will mature quickly and be at peak performance early (2-3).
This horse will have a very short peak time, perhaps only a single racing season.
This horse is ok on hard dirt.
This horse is good on soft dirt.
This horse dislikes mud.
This horse prefers hard turf.
This horse is good on soft turf.
This horse is very hardy and unlikely to fall victim to injuries.
This horse has a mind of its own and likes to run at its own pace.
This horse appears to be primarily a miler.

This big fella looks alot like his daddy, but doesn't have the steam to get the distance. Flawless put out a stayer last year with Union Jack and we were hoping for the same this year with Nightwing. The picture above is the superhero Darkhawk, who inspired this foals name.


Jack the Ripper (2013), 15.3 hand light bay colt
By Union Jack out of Ace Of Grace by Ace of Hearts

This horse will mature quickly and be at peak performance early (2-3).
This horse will enjoy a long peak performance time, several racing seasons.
This horse is good on hard dirt.

This horse prefers hard turf.
This horse prefers soft turf.
This horse is very hardy and unlikely to fall victim to injuries.
This horse obeys its jockey and is flexible in its pacing.
This horse looks like it can run at classic distances.

Rip has a ton of potential and we very much like his chances of being successful. Really no downside that we can see.


Samurai Jack (2013), 16 hand dark chestnut colt
By Union Jack out of Affirm Gal by Affirmation

This horse will mature quickly and be at peak performance early (2-3).

Another fine looking colt by Union Jack. Affirm Gal is a stable favorite so we have high hopes for this little fellow.

The last installment will preview the foals by the Triple Crown winning champion, War Machine.
