Another great day with 1/3rd of our runners winning, including 2 more 2yo winners. Included in these was the first winner for one of our resident Stallions, [color=blue]Tottenham Hotspur, whose first crop are 2yo’s this year. Only 3 runners finished off the board, although one of them did earn a paycheck for finishing 5th.

Yay, a 2yo winner!
Our colt [color=blue]Sin Infierno (by ICh. V is for Victory, out of gold ranked Easy Union) won his first maiden race, by 2 lengths! He still has a lot to grow so I hesitated, but we’ll probably race him lightly. In the same race his stablemate [color=blue]Me Quedo was 5th/13.
3yo [color=blue]Ch. Aguirre was 5th/11 in Fort Marcy Handicap on turf. He’s already a grade 1 winner, but seems to prefer dirt.
