I really don’t have much to post this week, since most of the ponies I sent left a lot to be desired…
But we are really superduper excited to say that NCh. Black Cherry has become High Chances’s first son to qualify for studship. We’re hoping he has a long career ahead of him, but we’re so, so glad the pressure to qualify is finally off!
Big, fat YAAAAAY. 
Always nice to get one studified.
Go Army Laird!
Congratulations! Looking forward to using him at some point
Ignoring the stakes entries, pretty good day. Including them, super blah. Grump.
WINS:
[color=blue]Freddie Mercury (3yo, King David) in a NW3. This is his second win.
[color=red]Live A Little (3yo, Jazz It Up) in a NW3. This is her first win. 
[color=blue]Whatchagonnado (4yo, Giant’s Causeway) in an OA.
[color=red]Inner Light (5yo, Crystal Rainbow) in an OA. Possibly not quite ready to retire yet.
[color=blue]Sir Tristan (3yo, Gunningdownromance) in an OA.
[color=red]Lady Warrior (3yo, War Chant) in a NW3. This is her first win.
PLACES:
[color=red]Joanna (3yo, Smart Strike) in a NW2.
[color=red]Arizona Dream (5yo, High Chances) in an OA, her first try at jumps.
[color=red]Etched In Gold (6yo, Government Secret) in the Shirley Jones Handicap. Old girl’s still trucking.
SHOWS:
[color=blue]Brilliant Protege (3yo, A.P. Indy) in a NW1.
[color=red]Crimson and Silver (3yo, Highland Laird) in a NW2.
[color=red]Millennium Star (3yo, Rock of Gibraltar) in the Dearly Precious Stakes.
FOURTHS:
[color=red]Point the Finger (4yo, Jazz It Up) in an OA.
[color=red]Sydney Ellen (4yo, Candidate) in an OA.
[color=red]Sent to the Devil (3yo, TakeMeToHollywood) in a NW3.
Everyone else, including 11 other stakes entries, bombed. 
Hate the allergy to stakes races that my ponies seem to have.
Only one out. Although we don’t win often this year, we do have quite a lot of second places.
3yo [color=red]Hadriana finished 2nd/6 in NW2 for fillies on dirt. She’s now heading home after a long while in Calder and Gulfstream. At least she earned her way back. 
Congrats CricketHill! Also look forward to sending ladies to him in the future 
Sent out 6 and 4 hit the board, so not too bad!
[color=blue]Eteelya finished 2nd/14 in an OA with stablemate[color=green] Legal Strategy 3rd.
[color=red]Ekosian ran 2nd/14 in her OA.
[color=blue]Dandywine liked the extra distance and managed a 3rd/8 in his NW1.
Also-rans were [color=blue]Jade River (9th/10, OA), which is really disappointing since he won a G2 in his 2017 debut then has flopped since. I should probably ship him home but he’s in Oz so boarding barn might be the best option until my horses win a bit more cash. [color=blue]Devil’s Advocate was 12th/14 in his NW3 – will fiddle with equipment.
Sent out 10 runners, virtually back to the all-or-nothing syndrome.
3 Wins
[color=red]Ch. Major Dreams, (3yo, Major’s Flight x Sheza Dreamer) 1/10 in the G3 Deputy Minister Handicap at Gulfstream. She has won both of her starts this year, both SW, which, added to a win in her last race last year, means that she now has a hat trick of wins. This win earned her ‘Champion’ status.
[color=red]Whats Believeable, (4yo, What’s Debatable x By By Birdie) 1/10 in the G3 Shirley Jones Handicap at Gulfstream. She has won both her starts this year.
[color=blue]Ch. Bracton, (3yo, Rumor Has It x Lady of Honour) 1/10 in the G2 Stan Fox Stakes in Australia. He has won both of his starts this year, both SW, which, added to a win in his last race last year, means that he now has a hat trick of wins. This win also earned him ‘Champion’ status.
1 Second
[color=red]Knight’s Match, (3yo, Chivalry x Match Me Up) 2/10 in the G3 Deputy Minister Handicap at Gulfstream. For the second race in a row, she finished runner-up to her stable companion [color=red]Ch. Major Dreams in a Stakes race.
2 Fourths
[color=red]Ch. Giant’s Debate, (4yo, Giant’s Causeway x Time’s Debatable) 4/11 in the G2 La Canada Stakes at Santa Anita.
[color=red]Helena, (3yo, Highland Wizard x Spiletta) 4/10 in the G1 Las Virgenes Stakes at Santa Anita.
Also Ran
[color=blue]Ch. Shiloh’s Hill, (4yo, Worth the Wait x Whistlin’ Dixie) 5/12 in the G1 George Main Stakes in Australia.
[color=blue]G.Ch. Lucky Sunset, (6yo, Red Sunset x Lucky Lucky Lady) 8/12 in the G1 George Main Stakes in Australia. He still needs one more SW to become stud-qualified.
[color=blue]Ch. Pointed Question, (4yo, What’s Your Point x Take the Challenge) 5/12 in the G3 Colin Stephen Handicap in Australia.
[color=blue]Ch. Take Flight, (5yo, Major’s Flight x Foxfire) 7/12 in the G3 Colin Stephen Handicap in Australia.

[color=blue]Another Nobody (3yo, Void) FINALLY broke his maiden, we switched up his equipment. Hopefully he keeps it up!
[color=blue]Diamonds In Air (5yo, The Black) won his $10,000 claimer and stayed with us. Seems to like Steeplechase
4th
[color=red]Rakatack (3yo, Strike it rich) in a NW3 allowance. This was her first start on dirt
Others…
[color=red]Rendition (3yo,Akhetnaten ) ran 10th in a NW2 allowance… Still trying to figure out this filly… Maybe shes a jumper
[color=blue]First Fight (3yo, Nightfight) ran 7th in the Hollie Hughes Stakes. Pushed him into the big leagues too quickly
