Ferege, an 8-year-old mare, was a hard-knocking winner of seven of 25 career starts and finished in the money in 18 attempts. Ferege, a New York-bred, showed speed and courage in an abbreviated two-year racing career and can pass those traits to her offspring.
     IEAH Stables acquired a managing ownership interest of Ferege in October 2005, and she is currently boarded with Dan Barraclough at Saratoga Glen Farm. She gave birth to Shock Jock in 2004, and a Wheelaway filly in 2005.
     Ferege in 2006 was bred to Read the Footnotes once, did not get in foal, and the decision was made to breed her again in 2007.
     “All the mares are very happy and healthy right now,” Dan Barraclough said in early-September. Barraclough and his wife, Kathy, currently oversee the care of 10 mares and foals owned by IEAH Stables and others. “They are carrying plenty of weight, their coats look great, and everything has gone well with their pregnancies thus far. The only real thing of consequence right now is for the mares that foaled in 2006 as most have just been weaned from their foals and that is often a tough time for them. Overall, though, it hasn’t been that bad.”
