PEDIGREE     MATERNAL PRODUCTION HISTORY     RARE NEWS      ELIGIBILITIES

THIS NEWS IS ROYAL is an eye-catching stout, muscular 2007 colt by Rare News out of This Babe is Royal (by Champion This Snow is Royal). This News is Royal ("Newser") is correct, has good bone, a big hip, a kind eye and a lot of shoulder. He shows a lot of intelligence and determination. He is very curious and friendly.

This News is Royal has a blazed face, flaxen mane and tail, and two rear stockings. He's strong, very quick,  athletic, and bold.

This News Is Royal has an incredible pedigree -- a veritable listing of "who's who" among the great racing Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds of today and yesterday.

His sire, Rare News, si 92, is a race winning, stakes performing son of all-time leading sire (and champion) First Down Dash (Rare News was 5th in the Kindergarten Futurity-G1, etc.). His dam, This Babe is Royal, si 93, is a race winning daughter of leading sire (and champion) This Snow is Royal.

This handsome colt crosses 4-times to the great Dash For Cash, through his outstanding son First Down Dash (two times) and exceptional daughter Florentine (once), as well as through the noteworthy producer, Profit Plan. He crosses twice to the great Thoroughbred (whose blood has richly improved Quarter Horses) Beduino (through leading sire and Hall-of-Fame son, Chicks Beduino, and through leading broodmare Chrome Tapestry).

He also goes back to the great Bluehen and Hall-of-Fame mare FL Lady Bug three times (twice through Lady Bug's Moon, once through The Lady Bug). Throw in a little Raise Your Glass TB, Trippy Dip TB, First Prize Rose, and J.O. Tobin TB, and you have a colt truly royally bred -- one with incredible potential for racing success!

In the meantime, This News is Royal ("Newser") shows incredible persistence, intelligence and heart. He already seems to know just what he wants and is smart enough to try several ways to get it! He is a very nice colt with a bold, friendly personality. He is correct and strong, plus, he's packed with muscle, great bone and speed. He travels beautifully and he's very quick.

The Quarter Racing Record, Nov. 15, 1983—

Proposed Toast takes consolation

Raise Your Glass fillies ran first and second in the $58,498 Heritage Place consolation, with Robert Moore's Proposed Toast getting the verdict by a neck. Tom Warren trains the winner and Roy Brooks rode her over the 400 yard course in :20.96 seconds.

Proposed Toast, who is out of the Paul H mare The Lady Bug, ran third in the Blue Ribbon Futurity last spring. After the Heritage Place consolation, Warren told The Record, "This is her first time on an off track. I was a little concerned about it, but it looks like she handled it alright! We're going to take her home and turn her out now. She'll go to California next year, then come back here and run in the Heritage Derby."

Second money went to A Toast To Mira, a Raise Your Glass - Miss Go Twist filly owned by Rex and Sue Cox, trained by Robert Dimitt and ridden by Buster Jones.
