Breed All About It!
do a three-day sport horse testing as a four year old, and then again as a fi ve year old.” T is is the model that will be presented this fall in the U.S. “It does shift the full weight of training of
these young stallions from the testing staff to the owners and trainers,” DiBerardinis stated. “But, it is also more appealing since it means owners do not have to give up their stallions for a few months at a time.” In the new format, each stallion will receive
a score of zero to ten in a variety of categories. T ose that pass this fall receive a one-year li- cense and then after passing the three-day test- ing again the following year, they receive their full licensing. Because there has not been a full stallion testing in the U.S. for over a year, the 2017 testing will be open to four-, fi ve- and six-year-olds. “T e testing will also be open to ponies,” DiBerardinis shared. T e testing at Hilltop is open to the public for
viewing, and schedule details will be posted on their website soon.
Chanceland Farm Packs 1-2 Punch
Robert Manfuso and Katharine Voss of Chanceland Farm in West Friendship took home both the championship and reserve championship at this year’s Maryland Horse Breeders Association Yearling Show. Held on June 25 at the Timonium Fairgrounds, the show was judged by Eclipse Award-winning
trainer Dale Romans and had 93 yearlings entered. T is was the fi rst time since 2009 that the same farm exhibited the top two win- ners. In 2009 Dark Hollow Farm earned champion and reserve. Chanceland previously took home the top two awards in 1992. Chanceland’s win came with a bay colt by Noble Mission and out of Island Bound, by Speight- stown. “T e colt just has that smooth Northern Dancer-type look that I like in a horse,” Ro- mans stated. T e colt is the third foal out of Is- land Bound, who was campaigned by Manfuso for four seasons. She won the G3 Winning Colors Stakes with Manfuso and placed four times in stakes races with trainer Ian Wilkes before being retired to Chancel- and.
Manfuso’s Bullsbay fi lly out of Sheave, by Mine- shaft, won the reserve championship. T e fi lly is the half-sister to million- aire Cathryn Sophia. “T e fi lly, she’s big and strong, correct and moved well.

Just looked like class,” Romans commented adding, “it was very close to decide which one was going to be the champion and which one was going to be reserve.” First-year sire Bandbox was the leading
Maryland stallion of the show. T e son of Tapit stands at Northview Stallion Station in Chesa- peake City.
