Racing How'd You Do?

Fantastic day.  Apparently my ponies have appreciated my unintentional, brief hiatus from racing  ::):

7(2) - 6(2) - 1 - 0 - 0

WINS

[color=blue]Copycat (2yo, Mr. Prospective x Slew Copy) won his NW2, FINALLY breaking his maiden.

[color=red]Art of Love (2yo, High on Love x Art of Zen) won her NW2 as we are still trying to figure her out.

[color=red]Ch. Always Ladylike (4yo, Giant’s Causeway x Always A Lady) won her OA, setting her first speed record as well.

[color=blue]Ch. Allinvain (4yo, Worth My While x Alwuhush) won his OA - he typically likes placing more than winning, but he is reliable.

[color=blue]Ch. Bear Witness (3yo, Witness x Dreamweaver) won the G3 Fall Highweight Stakes, his fourth stakes win.  He’s one to watch - he’s finished in the top two 5 of 7 stakes starts this year.

[color=red]GCh. Coquette (3yo, Bellagio x Klondike Nights) won the G2 Top Flight Stakes, continuing her reign as one of my top fillies.  This earned her the grand champion title.

PLACES

[color=red]Allnighter II (2yo, All Jazzed Up x Klondike Nights) finished 2nd in her OA in mixed company.  She’s never failed to bring home a paycheck and has a stakes win to her credit.

Nice day.
