Where are they now?

Thought this thread might help anyone who followed horses on the track but can't find any current information as to what happened to them. Maybe someone might know or know where to look.
At one time, I followed the racing career of now 10-year-old mare, Jessica is Back. She has no progeny and I have no information as to what happened to her.
The second one I'm wondering about is now 7-year-old mare, C C's Pal. All I was able to find on her is that she was reported to be in foal to Smart Strike about 8 months ago. Does anyone know what farm she's at and if she's still carrying to term.

over in the in memoriam thread we talked about 1982 ch 2yo ROVING BOY. so i went looking to see if he might have any siblings because i loved the fact he traced to man o war. so, the decendent of RB im looking for is an UNRACED 9 yr old mare named LUCYS THUNDER. shes by thunder gulch out on an alydar mare who is out of a half to roving boy. that pedigree is amazing!!..look at it on pedigree queury. doesn't appear to have any offspring so unless someone knows a resource i dont, i have no clue how to find out if shes alive, who owns her, where etc,,but id love to own her
I checked Equineline, and she has no progeny--at least no Thoroughbred progeny.
Sorry I don't have an answer, but perhaps have found some more leads (?) for you. I searched and I think I came up with her Alydar dam -Lucy Black. Here's the PDF where I read this-it may give you some more clues to follow. http://www.cthsont.com/docs/sales/yearlingsalecat_2007/14.PDF
Here's another filly (now 3 years old) from that line.

Jurgen Arnemann is 78, so it's likely that he dispersed his stock when he sold the farm. She may have gone to a show/sport home or a warmblood breeder.
He stands at stud at Haras La Quebrada in Buenos Aires,Argentina, alongside his sire Luhuk, now 25
His first crop of foals was born in 2014 and are now 2 yr olds. Here are some of them:
Etxeko - colt
Gryder-colt. (Think this one was named after his jockey, Aaron Gryder, which is kind of nice.)
Figurita Repetida - filly
Winoneforme - filly
Yoteviganar - fully
Calidoscopio is on pedigree query. Choose reports and progeny and all of these are listed. I am certain there are more, but at least we know some of the little Calidoscopios running around.
I sent Alto Racing a tweet at one point last fall to ask where he was, but I never got a response. Maybe we could ask someone at BloodHorse or even Todd Pletcher?

Jessica is back has had two foals, one in 2012, and one in 2013. See info below from pedigree query, reports, progeny.

I couldn't find and thing to indicate she broke her maiden in 2025, nor any races in 2016. Don't know if she is still training with john Hertler or not.
"I couldn't find and thing to indicate she broke her maiden in 2025, nor any races in 2016. Don't know if she is still training with john Hertler or not."
I'm not sure if you meant 2015 or based on sentence context...perhaps 2009 as a 5-year old breaking her maiden? ツ
As far as I can tell, she hasn't broken her maiden.
I couldn't find any races in 2016, either, nor any indication she is still with John Hertler.
Maybe she's gone back to the farm, not having seen Paree!
I mistook your post about Winter Palace to be referring to Jessica is Back (Winter Palace's dam). AUWE! 【⍤】
According to comments on Horse Racing Nation, she was in foal to Smart Strike in 2013. She either didn't take, or didn't carry the pregnancy to term or produce a live foal. Pedigree query shows no progeny for here. Another comment from HRN, though indicates she is/was pregnant with a 2016 MDO foal. No idea if true or if foal has been born. The pregnancy info from bothv2013 and 2016 came from the same commenter. The info could be legit, or not. Time will tell, I guess.
Found this on Materiality. Lots of interest in him as a stallion. Yet he still appears nowhere as a stallion.

My thoughts are:
When tested, he was unable to perform stallion duty. If so, maybe they tried to get him back to racing, but it didn't work out.
or
The highest bidder was a foreign country that doesn't feed info back to the JC.
or
Maybe best offer former stallion came from quarter horse or sports horse world.
There are some other strange things about this:
The last entry on Alto Facebook dates to Materiality's retirement.
Alto's website is now a domain that is for sale.
When Petcher was interviewed, everything he said sounded like it was "in memoriam". He was probably just mourning the loss of Materiality's racing career, but with the complete shutdown of info on this horse, it just sounded strange. Not implying anything at all. Just saying.
If there is anything in print that dates later than the above, I haven't been able to find it.
Doesvanyone have any ideas on where I can search next? It is just weird, and worrisome.
Oevfinal thought. I have need doing some basic research on the horses in the current Retired Racehorse Project. A small number have names that aren't in Blood horse. They may have changed their names for the project. If so, I suppose he could be one of them.
I will report my RRP findings when I can get to an actual keyboard and not just my smartphone.
Very very strange.
Do you have exact quotes from the interview with Pletcher? I'd be very interested to read it.
