Secretariat Mare

[Blue Domino]

Recently saw a Secretariat daughter 22 years old and still producing. Out of a Marshua's Dancer mare. I remember Marshua's Dancer, stood for years at Spendthrift Farms in Kentucky.

The most famous offspring of Secretariat mares that I can think of are the stallions Gone West and A.P. Indy.

Can anybody think of other famous sires or runners with Secretariat as a broodmare sire?

[Barnfairy]

Yeah, I can think of one.

Storm Cat.

Can't believe I didn't think of Storm Cat!

That is one amazing trio of TB stallions though, Storm Cat, A.P. Indy and Gone West.

Secretariat was an amazing sire of daughters of successful stallions.

I have had two Secretariat daughters on my farm this year.. both could have had foals I guess, but they were bought buy people who wanted to own a "*secretariat daughter"* :D

Well one could maybe, in the other the road was "blocked". =)

I perk up when I see a Secretariat mare listed now. We have an agreement to take one for retirement that is now producing. She'll be 19 in 2009. The two mares that Oak (hurst?) have/had were both around 22 and producing. I know there are others out there still producing but I expect the numbers to drop off pretty quickly in a couple of years. Secretariat was an outstanding broodmare sire and boy he must have been made up of dominant genes because those looks sure get passed down!!

Somebody - please find One N Only Athena. She's 22yrs old and not in foal. She was withdrawn from the FT sale at Timonium. I just want to know that she is safe.

Her owners name is on her page in their catalog. I don't know where he lives but you could call the sale company and see if they would give you contact info. or at least a city/state you could look him up in the white pages. You could also try state racing associations in the area.

Even though I know it's probably fairly common, I am thrilled that my new TB is a direct descendant of Secretariat. It's a name that most non horsey folks recognize.
He is a grandson of Dehere.

I have a client with a Secretariat daugher he is trying to place http://web.sendtoprint.net/proofbook/login.asp enter the password signature and then look at broodmare 4 under categories. She is a nice mare and could still produce a foal or two for somebody willing to give her a forever home. This client's two older stallions just passed away and he is changing the focus of his breeding program with his younger stallions. If she doesn't find a good forever home, she will be retired and given one at the farm. But she does seem like a good opportunity for somebody looking for a nice mare for free who is approved for wb breeding.
