Sturgeon Creek Stallions
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. Sturgeon Creek Arabians had three mares in foal to IMAGINE THAT MA for 2011. Two of these mares are Pyatigorsk daughters, while the third mare’s sire traces to *Pietuszok’s full brother TOPOL, winner of the Russian Triple Crown. All three 2011 foals (one filly and two colts) are on the ground and they are excellent! In addition, IMAGINE THAT MA has produced two other excellent fillies in 2011, one for his co-owner Pecos Valley Arabians and the other for a client of Pecos Valley Arabians. The dams of these fillies are bred similarly to the SCA mares. 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 2,035 miles and 95% of her races including the challenging Tevis Cup. MESA
(*Ghazni GASB x Maybe Mee by Pyatigorsk) 2002 Bay Stallion Mesa is extremely athletic and is truly representative of how well-travelled the Arabian horse is. Mesa’s sire *Ghazni GASB was born in Germany and then moved to the US. *Ghazni GASB's sire and his maternal grand-dam were both born in Russia and then moved to Germany. Mesa’s maternal grand-sire went to Germany from Poland. Mesa's dam, Maybe Mee, is a Pyatigorsk daughter out of *Marena RASB, who was born in Russia and then moved to the US. This young stallion has FOUR lines to PRIBOJ x TAKTIKA, two through TOPOL, (Triple Crown winner in Russia) and two through *Pietuszok PASB. Mesa is line-bred 3x4 on TOPOL (18.75%). Mesa's paternal grand-sire was the TOPOL son Saljut. Mesa's sire *Ghazni GASB was also a grand-son of *EL PASO PASB. We bred Maybe Mee to *Ghazni, as his great grand-dam Mechta was a full sister to Maybe Mee's grand-dam MALWA. Mesa is 4x3 on METROPOLIA (18.75%). He is also line-bred 5x5x4 (12.5%) on ARAX. METROPOLIA's race statistics were 2/13(4,4,2). Mechta's race statistics were: 2/12 (2,2,1)0-1 and MALWA’s were 2/14(2,3,1). In addition to *Marena, MALWA also produced the filly META by TOPOL. META set a USSR record for 3000 meters for a 3 year old. META came 4th in the same race in which Saljut was beaten by a nose in 1980. META won The Great Prize for Fillies (Oaks). She came second to PARAPET in the Derby, and she came second in the SM Budenny (St. Leger) stakes race. In breeding Maybe Mee, the MALWA grand-daughter, to *Ghazni GASB, the TOPOL grand-son, we were replicating the breeding of META. Mesa has multiple lines to Rodania. In addition to the four lines through PRIBOJ, KANKAN (Saljut's maternal great grand-sire) was in-bred to Rixalina who had three lines to Rodania. Pyatigorsk also had multiple lines to Rodania through his Crabbet ancestors, including Skowronek. Mesa's half-sister Mabelline (by PISTASCHIO) was a successful endurance horse. Mabelline completed 1,610 miles and 88.4% of her races. PEREGYNE
(Pyatigorsk x Selebrity by *El Purchino NSB) 1999 Bay Stallion On lease from Cedar Lake Arabians Peregyne is 18.75% PRIBOJ x TAKTIKA; 9.87% ARAX RASB and 6.25% *SABELLINA PASB. Peregyne is owned by Cedar Lake Arabians. We have leased Peregyne because he has strong links to our breeding program. We leased the *SABELLINA PASB, grand-daughter, Stop The Show, from Willomar Arabians to breed her to *El Purchino NSB. Our purpose was to line-breed ARAX RASB. Stop The Show had one male strain of ARAX RASB to go with the three female strains of ARAX RASB in *El Purchino NSB's pedigree. The mating produced the filly Selebrity, who is 18.75% ARAX RASB and 12.5% *SABELLINA PASB. Selebrity was sold to Cedar Lake Arabians as a yearling. Since Pyatigorsk had nicked so well with Stop The Show, Cedar Lake Arabians bred Selebrity to Pyatigorsk while we stood him at stud. The resulting stallion, Peregyne, is very much a blend of Pyatigorsk and *El Purchino NSB. He has Pyatigorsk's head, neck and coat colour and *El Purchino NSB's scale, disposition and long hip. Peregyne has only produced two foals to date. One is in British Columbia, Canada, and the other is our colt Pericles. Pericles' dam, Panarama, is in foal to Peregyne for a 2011 foal.
