Breeder's Notes
Bitternoodles CH is a sweetheart of a horse with a funny sense of humor. He loves to play like a yearling in the pasture, and unfortunately likes to play hard-to-get when you bring the halter, too. As a racehorse, his jockey has to work to motivate him to kick it into gear. He was not the most motivated racer in the All-Sim Jockey Club, consistently taking second places but he was 100% in W-P-S. He seemed to really like the change when brought back to HF, now having won two ungraded stakes/derby races. We look forward to a full career with this silly gelding.
Bitternoodles CH is by none other than one of the greatest Arabian racehorses to walk HF, HOF Rocky Raccoon DS++++. A stallion with nearly 20 graded stakes wins, four HFAJC Awards including 2007 AJC HORSE OF THE YEAR, and the distinction of being the first Arabian racehorse in HF to earn over $1million, he has more than proven himself as a competitor. To top it off, his first year in the show ring after his track retirement he took three National championships and one reserve! As a sire, he has gone above and beyond expectations - he is one of only two stallions in HF to have winners in the Triple Crown/Tiara/Turf Crown races, AJC Championship Series, and Blood Horse Venture Cup, and has also sired the 2014 AJC Triple Crown winner Magnar R, and fifteen stakes race winning/12 AJC year end award winning and TWICE Reserve Horse of the Year MYL Radiant Pearl++++.
Bitternoodles CH's dam is the lovely mare Apotheica Jewel MH+/. She has been a consistent competitor when put to the ring, but has really shown herself a solid broodmare. Sired by the great Polish stallion Nostradamus OS++++, an Intermediate I Dressage National Champion and 2006 AHA Year End Awards Horse of the Year owned by Nathalie of Blackthorn Farm and bred by the now dispersed Oasis Stables. Nostradamus himself is by the ever-prevalent HF legend, the great *Prorok himself.
