Here's the story...

Oatsee, the dam of Shackleford, heading to England for mating with Frankel

By Nicole Russo

The 15-year-old Unbridled mare is currently undergoing a 30-day quarantine and mandatory tests prior to her planned trip to England. The quarantine is taking place at Darby Dan Farm in Lexington, Ky., where she is boarded for owner Leonard Riggio’s My Meadowview Farm.

“We will only send her if everything is 100 percent right,” said bloodstock agent Lincoln Collins, who purchased the mare for My Meadowview in 2008. “But everything seems to be going fine so far.”

Should all go well, Oatsee, who is currently in foal to Bernardini, is expected to ship to England before the year’s end. She will produce her Bernardini foal in Europe before being bred to Frankel, and Collins said the mare “more than likely” will return to Kentucky to produce the resulting offspring.

Safe travels to this wonderful mare, and safe foaling for her and her baby...can't wait to see her back in the good ole USA next year!

Wow interesting that the Bernardini foal will be born in UK, but this is the best way for her to be healthy and best prepared for the mating with Frankel

And put her current babies in your stable....

Oatsee has an unraced 2-year-old Johannesburg colt, Dare Me, in the barn of trainer Graham Motion and a weanling filly named Play Pretty, from the final crop of Indian Charlie.

I wondered how they would work that. So she will return to the US in foal and with a foal at her side.

They may keep her in the UK till the foal is weaned then ship her back here to foal the Frankel baby. I think her health and the health of the fetus will dictate what they decide to do.
