[color=red]Ch. Towering Clover (3yo, Edinburgh) in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (Gr. 1) - Also not a bad result for a BC race, but I’m thinking this girl is ready for a vacation. I’ve been proud of her performance so far this year. She’s earned a good rest.

Thanks, guys! We’re really excited about this guy. I’m hoping his 3yo season is half as good as his 2yo one! But now that he’s officially qualified, a lot of the pressure is off.

I think this was our best Breeder’s Cup ever. In addition to Palermo’s win, we had two 2yo fillies go 1-2 in the filly turf.
