[color=red]Ch. Perfect Princess, (4yo, Worth My While x Celtic Glory) - See above.
[color=blue]Ch. Rebel Brother, (5yo, Backseat Driver x Movie Mistress) 7/9 in an OA at Woodbine. After a very good year last year (6 wins & 6 seconds in 17 starts, only twice out of the money, and over $800k in earnings), his form has tailed off this year (only 1 third and 1 fourth in 13 starts). His sale price has been reduced to $20k. Hopefully a change of scenery will help him to regain his form of last year.

[color=blue]Gang of Thieves, (2yo, Cool Thief x Match Me Up) 8/8 in an NW3 at Aqueduct.

5 0-2-1-0 $22,400

[color=blue]Holy Trick finished 3rd in a NW1 allowance.  I think he’s going to prove to be $1,000 well spent.

[color=red]Cryptic Kitten was 5th in a NW2.  Hey, it’s a paycheck…

[color=green]Officerofthecourt was 2nd in a NW3.  I got him for a bargain basement price and so far he’s been 1st and 2nd in two starts.

[color=green]Sapinero was a good 2nd in a NW2.  He hasn’t run out of the money so far.  [color=blue]Hero’s Fate was 5th in the same race.

I’m so happy with my ponies as they continue to pull through for me:

WINS

[color=blue]Pistolwhip (2yo, Gunningdownromance x Keria Toon) won his NW3, his fourth win in 6 non-stakes starts this year.  He’s headed to open company now.  His older half sister, 3yo Singsong, is a MSW, so hopefully he’ll take after her.

[color=red]Ch. Talkofthetown (3yo, Rumor Has It x CrossTheThreshold) won her OA, which isn’t too surprising as she is a MSW.

[color=red]Takin the Highroad (4yo, Highland Wizard x Hey Toots) won her OA over hurdles.  She was recently purchased as a brood prospect (due to her stellar pedigree), but I’m happy to see her showing talent.  I didn’t know if she would be past her prime, but she’ll keep running so long as she likes bringing home paychecks.

[color=green]Ch. Notmyfirstrodeo (5yo, Temptation x Rodeo Cowgirl) won his OA, earning the highest speed factor of the day AND his first speed record.  I’m incredibly proud of this boy - he’s my first ever homebred, and he seems to keep on kickin’.

[color=red]Perelandria (3yo, Highland Laird x Mercury Rising) won her NW2.  This puts her record for the year at 5 (3-1-0).  She came to us in April as a brood prospect, but she seems to be doing well under our management system, thankfully.  She’ll keep running 'til she loses interest.

[color=blue]Say Hey Kid (3yo, Double Cross x A.P. Valentino) won his NW3, earning his second speed record.  It won’t be long before you see this guy in the stakes races, I’m sure…

[color=red]Ch. Nicole’s Majic (3yo, A.P. Indy x Crimson Royal) won the ungraded Montauk Stakes, earning her second stakes win and her first speed record.  Hooray!

[color=blue]GCh. Fight The Twilight (3yo, Nightfight x Twilight Embers) won the G3 Secretariat Breeders’ Stakes, his fifth stakes win.  He’ll have to hit more G1 races if he wants his studhood, but he’s a good reliable boy.

[color=red]Ch. Sweet Home Alabama (3yo, I’m A Classic x Dixie Love) won the G3 Amazon Princess Breeders’ Stakes.  She’s one of my favorite homebreds by pedigree alone - thank goodness she grew up knowing how to win!

PLACES

[color=blue]Harrison Ford (4yo, Witness x Starswept) was second in his OA, earning the second highest speed factor of all my runners today.  He’s way overdue for his stakes debut…

[color=blue]Copycat (2yo, Mr. Prospective x Slew Copy) was second in the G3 Lucky Cigar Breeders’ Stakes.

[color=red]Newyorknewyork (2yo, Stressed x Uptown Girl) was second in the G3 Dark Magic Breeders’ Stakes.

SHOWS

[color=blue]Grotte de Cussac (2yo, Doodles x Rodeo Cowgirl) was third in his maiden - this was his second start.  He’s bred to be a 'chaser.

[color=blue]Ch. Allinvain (4yo, Worth My While x Alwuhush) was third in the G3 Valid Wager Breeders’ Stakes.

OFF THE BOARD

Such A Fool (2yo, Foolhardy x Highland Treasure) was 5th in his NW3.
Djali Zwan (2yo, Starzen x Adriatic Swan) was 9th in her maiden, her first start.

Best day out in a while!

[color=red]Indy Angela (4yo, AP Indy) finally won an NW3 after about 6 months of trying.

[color=red]Llano River (4yo, Irish River), who I purchased in September in the Select Auction as a brood prospect, won an open allowance, her first win for my stable in 2 starts.

[color=red]Comedy Queen (3yo, High Chances) placed 2nd in a NW3.  She’s been pretty consistent with 2nds lately.

[color=red]Secret Morning (2yo, Government Secret) was 2nd in a maiden - her 4th time placing 2nd in a maiden race!

Finally, [color=green]Dust Collector (4yo, Created), my trusty FF starter horse, placed 3rd in an OA.
