Broodmare will be shipped to new home

Otsego Farms owner Jim Webber announced that thirteen year old broodmare Baby Greyhound has been traded to another stable in a transaction involving a yearling filly.

"We picked her up with the intention of keeping her for a few years, but the emergence of House of M, who will probably be retiring at the end of 2015, makes Baby Greyhound expendable," Webber explained.  "We had an inquiry from an established stable about her availability and an agreement was reached."

When asked for more information on the transaction, Webber was noncommital.  "We'll announce the details when the new season is underway.  The yearling we acquired is not a top prospect, but we'll work her out and see what we've got."

Baby Greyhound produced just one foal for Otsego Farms, newly-born colt Jackhammer; who's sire was Union Jack.
