One of Secretariat's foals in Needville

[SHSBulldog00]

Country Side is the oldest of five living foals of Secretariat. He is 25 in human years and like 75 in horse years. Country side has sired over 100 foals and still produces. Just heard this on the local news.

Anyone know where the other four are?

Anyone know where the other four are? Probably still produces because they don't just let horses do it anymore. Most horse breeding now and the past 10-15 years with top dollar horses is artificial insemination. So they can "extract" the semen from the horse as much as they want when they are younger and continue to send off the "loads" for years.

Academy Award (Mine Only) Akram (Lizzie's Light), Country Side (Constant Nymph), Count von Count (Lass Trump, Innkeeper (Sue Babe), Regal Secret (Regal Alibi, ), Thill a Sec (Thill), and Tinners Way (Devon Diva)

Not true in Thoroughbred breeding, no artificial allowed.

I retired from being a jockey and trainer 10 years ago, but I so well remember the Belmont with Secretariat. He won by some 31 lengths. As a Stallion, he was a bit of a disappointment, but is a very very good broodmare sire.

From the thoroughbred times. Seems to say that in thoroughbreds there is no artificial insemination.


"Thoroughbreds are at a disadvantage in the breeding shed because of the Jockey Club rule banning conception by any means other than live cover. While other breeds, including racing Standardbreds, can take advantage of the benefits of progressive technology in reproductive medicine, Thoroughbred breeders are faced with some of the same obstacles that have impacted their livelihood for decades, possibly even centuries."
