IMAGINE THAT MA
(MONARCH AH x *Odessaa by Enos PASB) 1998 Bay Stallion This race-winning son of US National Champion Racehorse MONARCH AH was acquired by Pecos Valley Arabians and Sturgeon Creek Arabians in 2010. IMAGINE THAT MA stands at stud at Pecos Valley Arabians in New Mexico. IMAGINE THAT MA sired 16 foals for his previous owner, Welcome Arabians, including the race winner WMA SOLDIER. IMAGINE THAT MA is the result of a very successful breeding cross, *BANDOS PASB daughters taken to MONARCH AH. In this case, it was a daughter of a *BANDOS son, *ENOSS PASB, that was bred to MONARCH AH. A very large percentage of the mares taken to MONARCH AH were *BANDOS daughters, and nearly all of the resulting progeny were race winners. IMAGINE THAT MA’s pedigree includes the blood of two great *Pietuszok PASB daughters, *WILMA PASB and *ORLA PASB, which makes him very well-suited to breeding with Pyatigorsk daughters. IMAGINE THAT MA’s pedigree is power-packed with racing ancestors. 11 of his first 14 ancestors were race winners, and 6 of the 14 won multiple Stakes races. One of the three non-winners did not race, but her full sister won the Polish Triple Crown of racing. As a racehorse, IMAGINE THAT MA raced 2 years and had 16 starts. He won 3 races and placed second once, earning just over $12,000. He came third in the Lone Star Arabian Futurity Stakes race. He won his last race but a knee injury ended his race career. IMAGINE THAT MA’s sire, MONARCH AH won three Darley awards. In 1990 and 1991 he was Colt of the Year, and in 1991 he was also named Race Horse of the year. During his race career, he won 14 Stakes races, including the US Derby, and set four track records. MONARCH AH’s sire, *WIKING PASB, was 1985 Race Horse of the Year. *WIKING raced in both Poland and the USA, with a combined race record of 5/37(20,10,2) 10. MONARCH AH’s dam, *SASANKA PASB, was a grand-daughter of the famous Polish race mare *SABELLINA PASB. *SASANKA won the Polish Triple Crown of racing and had a race record of 2/14(10,0,2)D+O+AP+4. *SASANKA’s dam, SANTA, had a race record of 1/9(6,1,0)D+O+2. Neither IMAGINE THAT MA’s dam, *Odessaa PASB, nor his maternal grand-dam *Orneta PASB, raced. *Orneta was exported from Poland to the USA as a 5 year old and *Odessaa was exported to the USA in utero. While *Orneta did not race, her full sister *ORGIA PASB, who was five years older, was an outstanding race horse in Poland, winning the Polish Triple Crown: 2/12 (10,1,0)D+O+AP+5. *Orneta was a daughter of the great *Pietuszok daughter *ORLA PASB whose race record was 2/11(10,1,0)D+O+2xAP+4.
PHILOSOPHY
(PISTASCHIO x Kaluwa by Pyatigorsk) 1998 Grey Stallion Philosophy has been described as the best source of Naseem blood available. Philosophy is a grandson of *SALON RASB, who was a Naseem grandson. Philosophy has three additional lines to Naseem: one through NASLEDNIK and two through Silwa, who appears twice in his maternal grandsire Pyatigorsk’s pedigree. Naseem was a Skowronek son. Also, through Pyatigorsk are numerous lines to Skowronek. Philosophy also has several lines to Rodania, through his FOUR lines (16%) to PRIBOJ x TAKTIKA, as well as multiple lines through Pyatigorsk. While Philosophy has elements of refinement and prettiness in his pedigree, he also has race blood on both his sire and dam sides. His sire, PISTASCHIO, was out of *Panntera RASB. *Panntera RASB's dam was *PANAMA OF TERSK RASB, whose dam was PLATINA (PRIBOJ x TAKTIKA). Philosophy's maternal great great grand-dam was the phenomenal race mare *SABELLINA PASB, who won the Polish Derby and Oaks Stakes races. Philosophy's great grand-dam EW Sabaska by *BASK++ PASB did not race, nor did her half-sister EW Rema by *MELLON PASB. However, EW Rema produced a tremendous race horse, HT SARAH by *EL PASO PASB. HT SARAH's race record was 4/40 (18,8,2)13-8, with earnings of $251,989. Not only was *SABELLINA PASB a tremendous race horse, but she proved extremely prepotent, as she created a racing dynasty in Poland and in the United States. Her son *SAMBOR++ PASB and his son SAMTYR are both in the Arabian Trust Racing Hall of Fame. Philosophy's sire PISTASCHIO set a track record at Grant's Pass, Oregon. Philosophy has proven to be a very consistent sire, having produced excellent offspring from daughters of several different stallions. Pictured right: Personal Delivery, Must Be Mee, Polaris, and Czarina. Philosophy's full sister, Spirited Music, is a successful endurance competitor. She completed 2,595 miles and 91% of her races including the challenging Tevis Cup. Philosophy’s full brother, Kryptik, a grey gelding born in 1997, was purchased by Gary Skinner in Olympia, Washington on May 8, 1999. On the same day, Gary’s wife, Chloe, purchased Mondeur (*Grandeur x Monetaa) , a bay gelding bred to SCA’s (then) stallion *Grandeur NSB. Although Kryptik has not been active in endurance racing, he has been, and continues to be, ridden extensively in trail rides sanctioned by the Back Country Horsemen of Washington State. In December 2012, Chloe commented about Kryptik: “he has been a blessing in so many ways that speak highly of his mental abilities and his bloodlines. His is a reserved and assessing personality, cautious and skeptical until he is satisfied that his best interests are being met.” “When I speak of Kryptic’s mental assessment qualities I can recite at least three incidents that could have been ended very badly if he were not an exceptional horse. The first was when Kryptic was still green broke. Gary was mounting and accidently kicked Kryptic in the rump.. Kryptic started, sending Gary off balance causing him to tumble onto Kryptic’s right side. He was actually perpendicular to Kryptic’s right side hanging by his left leg which was caught in the stirrup. Kryptic stopped immediately. He actually froze in position until Gary was able to right himself. On a second occasion a few years later, we were riding down a narrow forest trail when Gary’s saddle slipped dumping him onto the ground with his right foot caught in the stirrup. Again, Kryptic, was a hero. Kryptic actually froze in mid stride and did not move a muscle until Gary was able to extract his foot. He merely turned his head to look at Gary as if to ask what Gary was doing down there. He did not move until Gary was up and lead him away a few paces. A third time my friend was riding Kryptic and here in the NW we have a lot of rain and slick trails. We were walking the horses down a slight incline when the trail crumbled under Kryptic’s feet, causing him to fall on his side. My friend fell off but was not pinned. Kryptic rolled back to his belly but instead of scrambling up to his feel he turned his head around to look for my friend. He didn’t move until she was on her feet and asked him to get up. In my opinion these three incidents speak volumes about the quietness of mind and assessment ability of Kryptic’s blood lines which in my opinion is worth more than all the tea in China and are qualities I want in my endurance horse. I don’t know of too many horses that would behave as responsibly and steadily as Kryptic did under similar circumstances.“
