Stonestreet Farms - Barbara Banke

I love the new STONESTREET website: www.stonestreetfarms.com
The stallion conformation photos are amazing, but the bio on each of the farm broodmares is beyond special.

Stonestreet has a broodmare named Zenith. I mention it because some have suggested that name for Princess Z.
Zenith’s first foal was the good winner Top of the Town (by Old Trieste), winner of $129,560. Her second foal put her on the map, the talented Great Hunter (2004 by Aptitude), winner of the G1 Lane’s End Breeders’ Futurity and G3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes. Her third foal was stakes-placed Glitzen Glory (2005 by Honour and Glory).
The mare has a two-year-old colt by Distorted Humor named Assorted Humor, a yearling colt by Malibu Moon and produced a colt by The Factor this spring.
Barbara said in an article that most likely RA will never be bred again. Only two babies for RA. I sure hope the Bernardini filly can carry on for her mom and someday have more than a few fillies of her own to carry on the RA name on the bottom side of pedigrees. If all goes well, Taco should keep RA going on the top side of pedigrees.
FWIW, RA didn't have a serious problem with Taco. She went to the hospital for pain management. Pain from nursing and/or uterine contractions isn't unusual for first-time moms. Barbara Banke just wanted her to be comfortable, and she admitted to being a little overprotective.
It will be very interesting to see what the future holds for Rachel A; may the angels smile on her in any case.
A classy daughter of More Than Ready, hip 660, goes to @StonestreetFarm for $425,000.
@DerbyFan78 Match-up with Atreides could be one of the more intriguing of all the @BreedersCup preps. @StonestreetFarm
Growing up fast at our yearling division, she is not yet named. She will head down to Ocala next month to begin the first stages of learning to be a racehorse. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10629847_802502123122751_926950612106983504_n.jpg?oh=529be5912ddd672e883aec15a3a805c4&oe=54CC2F2F&__gda__=1422903654_bab021778d95e25b7b2268ac66ee85e0
