New Addition to the Show String

It's no secret that Western World Champion Lotto Jackpot is missed terribly beyond words by anyone who knew him, so I when I spoke with his owner, Eireann about purchasing any semen she might be willing to part with after he passed away, I was completely stoked when she answered me....

Initially, there were 4 straws listed in the semen sales for $100,000.  I didn't bat an eye when making that purchase.  Only one of my mares caught and from her, I got a gorgeous filly.  What I wanted was another LJ stud colt, but Invest In A Jackpot looked incredibly promising.  I don't usually add mares to the show string because I would rather use them for breeding, but I just cant stand the idea of not letting my little LJ get out there and try to earn titles befitting a daughter of Jack. She will begin her show career in the morning, so fingers crossed that she is does more than just look like her daddy!

Getting back to my original point, Eireann did answer my request for additional semen.  She had only 2 straws left and was willing to part with them.  I started sweating bullets trying to imagine who on my ranch would take the first time.  These last two straws were golden and my one last chance at a colt.  I ended up breeding to a lovely filly who was just coming of age, and she took!!  11 months later, I was the proud owner of a brand new filly.  Yep, another filly.  So, I have another mare to add to the show string in a few months.  I just refuse to let these LJ babies go unnoticed!   Lotto Supernatural Blues is Jack's final foal as far as I know.

But, not to worry, Eireann, has a simply gorgeous stud colt that I plan to visit VERY soon.  Hey Big Spender is absolutely the kind of horse that I am known for breeding to and I can't wait to add him to my herd!
