Kinda spent all our winnings on a claim but thrilled to see Smaug get a stakes win. She was on the potential broodmare list for this year but seems to be happy to run at the moment so we’ll keep her going for a while.
Wins: [color=red]Ch. Smaug (5yo, Highland Magic) in the Correction Stakes (Ungr.) First stakes win She’s a half-sister to Quarren and full sister to GCh Radagast.
Places: [color=blue]Leeway (3yo, Formal Occasion) in a claiming race - it was just a claimer, but a big one, so I’m proud of his 2nd!
Shows: [color=red]House of Cards (3yo, Robin Hood) in a maiden - another full race in which Cuddly Thought and Y’all also ran, but without that much trying… [color=red]Fool For Flowers (3yo, I’m No Fool) in the Herecomesthebride Stakes (Gr. 3) - her previous race was a Starter Allowance win
Also Rans: [color=red]Cuddly Thought (3yo, Chivalry) 10th in a maiden [color=red]Y’all (3yo, Changeling) 6th in a maiden [color=red]Glamorous Fog (4yo, Strike It Rich) 6th in the Correction Stakes (Ungr.) [color=red]La Chunga (4yo, As You Wish) 11th in the Correction Stakes (Ungr.) - this seemed to suit her even though her entire 3yo year was winless… we’ll think of some changes, maybe to steeplechase.
Fifths: [color=red]Shake It Out (6yo, Strike It Rich) in a claiming race - I claimed her for her pedigree, though I expect she’s past her peak. We will shoot for 10 races, then retire to brood. [color=red]Deliver The Storm (3yo, V is for Victory) in an Allowance
Shows: [color=blue]Centaurian (4yo, Galaxy’s Zodiac) in a NW2 Allowance [color=red]Tottenham Time (4yo, Tottenham Hotspur) in an Allowance - I was wondering if her last placing was just a fluke because it was in a smaller field, but today’s race was fairly competitive and she held her own so here’s to hoping for more good races this year.
Fifths: [color=red]Antares (5yo, Formal Occasion) in the Correction Stakes (Ungr.)
Also Rans: [color=red]Loose Canon (3yo, Sunday Paper) 6th in a NW3 Allowance - I don’t think this girl has fully matured yet, so she’ll probably be resting and training for a while before heading out to race again. [color=green]Mario (6yo, Silver Charm) 10th in an Allowance [color=red]Decadent (5yo, Witness) 11th in an Allowance [color=blue]Home Invasion (6yo, Cool Thief) 10th in an Allowance [color=red]Southern Warrior (5yo, Black Warrior) 12th in an Allowance [color=red]One Fast Belle (3yo, One Lucky Soul) 7th in a maiden - Maybe one day she’ll live up to her name and come in the money, hopefully she’s just a late bloomer. [color=green]Sir Percivale (6yo, Crystal Rainbow) 6th in the Shannon Stakes (Gr. 2)
