Otsego welcomes Arctic Fox


The 6yo mare Arctic Fox (Thunder Arctic x Fox) was acquired by Otsego Farms today in a two-sided transaction that also saw broodmare Flawless being sent to History's Own Stable.

Otsego owner Jim Webber stated, "We felt that Arctic Fox would be an upgrade to our breeding operation. She was still available after the annual auction, so we contacted the connections at Endless Vista to inquire about her."

To make room, Otsego sold the fine broodmare Flawless (War Chant x Azeri) to History's Own. Webber continued, "Flawless turned out a couple of fine colts for us (Captain Britain, Darkhawk), but we felt that Arctic Fox was better suited for our studs."

Arctic Fox will race during the 2013 season, then retire and go to the breeding shed. She will be matched with either Union Jack or Nightwing initially, with Union Jack having the inside track.

Arctic Fox just showed up in my stable and I got my first look at her AR. Very nice.

She's got some dirt ability as well, although she has never run on it. Good speed, likes distance. Excellent. A perfect addition as a future broodmare.

A win in her OF debut. Nice!
