Good news, very bad news

Both Kurt's mares (Gwen and la grande Duchesse) have been pronounced in foal to Love You by the frozen route, so we can look forward at this time next year (and beyond) to see how our joint bet on this new trotteur francais-standardbred cross will turn out. (Since Love You's paternal grand-dam is by Super Bowl and his maternal grand-dam by Speedy Somolli one might be tempted to say he already represents this cross... but I will resist the temptation!)
But sadly news has just come from Australia that the VERY expensive galloping foal from the excellent Rosmarino that he was a partner in had been found dead in its box. Mind-numbing. And so soon after John McDermott lost his valuable Christian Cullen colt... in its box.
