These are the 2yo War Machine offspring that hit the track in 2010:
- A View to a Kill - colt, Bally Doyle
- By A nose Jo - filly, Pointgiven
- Drop of War - colt, Goforwand
- Garson de Garcia - colt, FDL
- Rogue - filly, Otsego
- Warrior King - colt, Bonai
- White War - colt, Rainbow
I've been waiting for this moment for quite a while. The long wait can culminate in joy, or sorrow, depending on how my filly Rogue, and in fact, all of the above horses perform.
Being a successful stud is a very dicey proposition. A couple "bad" crops and the luster of even a big name like War Machine may suffer. As a result, I'm on pins and needles with regard to all of these horses.
Unlike many top stallions, War Machine has a limited number of offspring to carry his torch. I've tried to limit the pairings to just 5 per season, and I have been mostly successful. In three breeding seasons, there have been just 17 War Machine foals (12 colts, 5 fillies). Fewer foals means fewer opportunities for a an offspring to make a splash.
So, I'll be watching these 2yo's very carefully to see how they perform. Best of luck!
