So here we have our first win this year. Not a big one, but there is!

[color=red]Hermelinda won her maiden steeplechase for 3yo fillies. It was her first steeplechase race, she was unsuccessful as a 2yo.

[color=red]Tizzy Fit finished 2nd/6 in a starter allowance for 3yo fillies.

[color=blue]GCh. Al Mundhir was 3rd/10 in Fred Cappy Capossela Stakes. I really hope he can get those remaining stakes wins.

I claimed 3yo [color=red]Wild Ways by Giant’s Causeway, out of Wild Rush (Crimson Lad) for her nice lineage. She finished dead last. :stuck_out_tongue:

[color=red]Ch. Akasha finished 7th/10 in Santa Ynez Stakes. Probably I should have sent her home instead of entering her in this race. She will have a longer rest.

[color=red]Onabridgeatsunrise - 5.0f Starter Allowance for 3yo F (Turf) 1st/6
This is one of Unabridged’s daughters and she has won 2 out of 3 races!
[color=blue]GCh. Alfresco - 5.0f Allowance for 4yo+ (Turf) 2nd/13
This guy still breaks my heart, because I had high hopes of stud-dom for him. At least he earned his Grand Champion title in this race.
[color=red]Scottish Magic - 12.0f Claiming ($15,000) for 3yo F (Dirt) 2nd/6
Was hoping she wouldn’t come back home with us, but I’m pleased with her performance.
[color=red]She’s Gawne - 12.5f Allowance for 4yo+ (Steeplechase) 11th/14
She might be done with racing at this point.
[color=blue]The Frog Prince - 8.5f NW1 Allowance for 3yo (Turf) 14th/14
Flunked his debut.

I finally had a decent week:

11-3-0-0-2 $45,400

[color=blue]Encryption was 5th in a big NW1.  [color=red]Waiting For Spring was right behind in 6th.

[color=red]Stop Stressing was 4th in her first start for us in a NW1.

[color=green]Silly Magic won a claiming race and stablemate [color=green]War Effort was 4th. 

[color=red]Patricia won her claiming race as well.  She might be worth keeping around a little longer.

[color=blue]Yellow Lights won his NW2 allowance.  His time at the farm clearly did him good.

We also sent out [color=red]Big Coins, who probably needs time at the farm but she is stranded in Australia.  She is for sale.  [color=red]My Sweet Lullabye was dead last in her NW2.  It was her first start for us.  [color=green]Improvise was 6th in an allowance.  [color=green]Touch Of Midas was also dead last in his race.

We had a fabulous day:

19(6) - 11(4) - 3 - 2 - 0

WINS

[color=red]The Lucky Few (3yo, The Fighting Fifty x Delicate Luck) won her NW1.  That puts her lifetime record at 3 (2-1-0).

[color=blue]Ponte Vecchio (3yo, Unabridged x Oh So Sharp) won his NW3.  He struggles with consistency, but definitely has the talent.

[color=blue]Say Hey Kid (4yo, Double Cross x A.P. Valentino) won his OA and set his third speed record.  He definitely will be aimed at stakes races this year.

[color=blue]GCh. Allinvain (5yo, Worth My While x Alwuhush) won his OA (while we look for more stakes races for him).

[color=green]Ch. Notmyfirstrodeo (6yo, Temptation x Rodeo Cowgirl) won his OA.  My first ever homebred, and he’s still got it!

[color=red]Ch. Alakazam (4yo, Highland Magic x Alwuhush) won her starter allowance for a little confidence booster.

[color=red]Smile Awhile (3yo, Worth My While x Queen of Humor) won her maiden race, breaking her maiden in her second start.

[color=red]Ch. Talkofthetown (4yo, Rumor Has It x CrossTheThreshold) won the G1 Vessels Stallion Farm Distaff.  I’m happy to see her stepping into her older half sister, NCh. Afterglow’s, role now that she has retired.
