Half and half day. Two horses were retired, and all my ā€œlets try SCā€ Joy babies came through. Apparently he might have been an undiscovered SC genius?

WINS
[color=red]Honeybird (3yo, Joyeux Oiseau) in her SC debut/maiden.

2ND
[color=blue]Heated Debate (4yo, Whatā€™s Debatable) in his SC debut/claimer, stays home.
[color=blue]Eyrie (3yo, Joyeux Oiseau) in his SC debut/OA.

3RD
[color=red]Gyrfalcon (3yo, Joyeux Oiseau) in his SC debut/maiden.

Retired:
[color=red]Ch. Blood Phoenix (6yo, Akhetnaten) was claimed for 10k and won 200k on the track. She is half to six champions and 3 stakes winners including MSW Ch. Sunbird (G). Sheā€™ll visit French Ruby this year.

Weā€™re sad to let [color=green]GCh. Legal Strategy (7yo, Highland Bandit) go, but itā€™s a well-deserved retirement. Claimed for 10k at 3, he went on to win 766k, set 3 speed records, and win/place in 4 stakes races.
