Pairings / Names finalized for upcoming breeding season

The final breeding pairs along with the names of all prospective 2015 foals have been released by Otsego Farms owner Jim Webber, who stated, "The expectation of the new crop is always an exciting time.  In that regard, we like to publish the foal names early to get the juices flowing here at the stable."

War Machine x Ace Of Grace

Colt - Steel Lion

Filly - Dream Girl

Note: We've wanted to use both of these names in the past and they've never come up.  We'll get one this year.

War Machine x Arctic Fox

Colt - The Golden One

Filly - Andromache

Note: Both names inspired from the "Troy" series of books.  Andromache is pronounced An-DRAMA-kee.

Jenny's My Gal x Affirm Gal

Colt - Galahad

Filly - Galaxi

Note: Gal x Gal = Gal

Union Jack x Baby Greyhound

Colt - Herriot

Filly - Tricky Woo

Note: These names came from the delightful Books and TV Series "All Creatures Great and Small".

Yeager x Domino

Colt - Flash

Filly - Lightning Lass

Note: Can't believe the name Flash has never been used.  Lightning Lass is a superhero name that I've thought about using a couple times.

Nightwing x False Demon

Colt - Schoolboy Crush

Filly - Blue Fairy

Note: Colt name is from a song I love.  Filly name came from the quest of the robot boy in the movie A.I., who was searching for the Blue Fairy to change him into a real boy; just like in Pinocchio.

Union Jack x In Spirit

Colt - Admiral Boom

Filly - PracticallyPerfect

Note: Mary Poppins.  Need I say more?

Big 'N Rich x Nova

Colt - Big Bang

Filly - She Bangs

Note: Big Bang just flows logically from sire and dam name.  She Bangs is a derivative of colt name, more or less.

Reichenbach Falls x Second Strike

Colt - Numerator

Filly - Numerator

Note: Got the name from an old 3M horseracing game, Win, Place, and Show.

Take A Gander x Shattered Record

Colt - Ugotthelook

Filly - Ugotthelook

Note: From the iconic Prince song.  I've never been a fan of names that are strung together like this, but it just felt right in this case.

So there you have it.  The colt and filly names for the 2015 breeding season.  All rights reserved on these names; now and in the future.
