Another batch of ponies that have been resting up a long while. Got some of the stakes kids out today to good results too. Mostly excited about Far Crown’s win because that brings him to only needing one more SW of any grade for stud qualification! I know that final win tends to be elusive, but I’m still crossing my fingers
