breeding
Reade Baker enjoyed a successful and satisfying period as a breeder of racehorses which spanned for over a decade. Reade focused on breeding for Racing Partnerships and for Sales Auctions. As the training stable increased in responsibility, the breeding side was put on hold. For Reade, this part of the industry remains one of the most satisfying and stimulating.
Some highlights of Reade’s years as a breeder of thoroughbreds include breeding the dam of Posse (Raska), the grand dam of champion Beholder, and the grand dam of Into Mischief (Crystal Lady, read article Paulick Report)
When it comes time to select stallions for your mares, there is a great deal of data and statistics to assist in the selection process. It is important to analyse the pedigrees and conformation of the individuals before making a breeding decision. This is where Reade’s experience as a breeder can be invaluable.
