Krakatoa, Juggernaut, Warp Factor Ten


This first installment will detail the foals sired by guest studs Doomsday, Jenny's My Gal, and Run Missy Run.

Krakatoa (2013), 15.2 hand brown colt
By Doomsday out of Monsoon by Storm Cat

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 good on hard dirt.
This horse is ok on soft dirt.
This horse is ok in mud.
This horse is ok on hard turf.
This horse is good on soft turf.
This horse is very hardy and unlikely to fall victim to injuries.
This horse has average ratability.
This horse appears to be primarily a miler.

I expected a miler by this pairing, so no surprise there. Doomsday and Monsoon were both talented, somewhat underachieving racers, so I hope Krakatoa can take the next step.


Juggernaut (2013), 16 hand light gray colt
By Jenny's My Gal out of Shattered Record by Black Shatter

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 prefers 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 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 likes a lot of distance.

This fellow surpasses all expectations. Ready early, decent career length, good on all surfaces, and distance capable. Shattered Record has consistently turned out nice foals and JMG looks to have brought out her best yet. The supervillian Juggernaut who inspired the name is pictured above.


Warp Factor Ten (2013), 16 hand chestnut colt
By Run Missy Run out of Nova by Housebuster

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 good on hard dirt.
This horse prefers soft dirt.
This horse is ok in mud.
This horse is ok on 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 likes a lot of distance.

Bit of a surprise here, but not unwelcome. We were expecting a sprinter/miler, but got a stayer. This pair has a good a chance as any to produce a speedy colt. The fact that he also got endurance is very fortunate.

In the next installment, We'll release the info on the Union Jack and Nightwing foals.
