GCh. Manhattan (4yo, I’m No Fool) in the Victoria Racing Club Stakes (Gr. 1)!!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart: SO EXCITED for this win! I wasn’t going to enter him because he raced at the beginning of this month, but I decided to take a chance. It turned out to be a good choice because he’s now officially stud-qualified! He’s from our very first crop of homebreds. He’s on a roll this year at 3 for 3 in stakes wins and is actually on is 4th SW since December. He won’t be retiring to stud duties anytime soon unless he shows us he’s done. Fingers crossed for a great rest of the year!

Not exactly what I was hoping for race wise, but we successfully claimed Nonstop Kitten. She is out of a platinum breeding rank mare and Phenomenal. I’m not sure how she is going to do with racing, but I’m excited to have her as a breeding prospect if nothing else.

Congratulations @willagrey!
GCh. Manhattan is a son of FFCh. I’m No Fool, who is now standing at our Stud and a grandson of the late, great FFCh. Foolhardy, who we had for about 3 years until his death. It is great to think that FFCh. Foolhardy’s legacy will be carried on as he currently has 9 sons standing at Stud and now has one more son, NCh. Fiddler’s Green, who is Stud-Qualified but still racing.

For us, only 10 runners today.
10(1)-2-3(1)-2-1 $65,000

Thanks, y’all! He’s the first of ours (owned or bred) to qualify, and the only grandson of Foolhardy to qualify (so far).

Not the worst, not the best, but we did have our first stakes runner out, and she finished in the money! Can’t be too upset about that :smiley:
