AMAZING day with 7 BC wins, including two by our homebred stallion Dark Ages and one by Fivel, and 26/30 hit the board overall. Very Cherry is now 3 for 3 lifetime as a 2yo, following his half-brother Hint of Cherry who went on to win 6 stakes as a 2yo. Mighty Flea was a pleasant surprise as I didn’t even know he had qualified until I went to enter another horse and saw him in the dropdown; he now sits at 5 SWs and will try the BS to hopefully get even closer to studhood.
