Haven’t posted in a while, but today was a great day for my stable.

9(1)-6-1-0-1 $113,050

[color=blue]Prestidigious (4yo, Highland Magic) won his NW3.  His record is now 3-3-0-0-0, so it’s time to see how he fares in open allowances!

[color=red]Usedtohaveapoint (5yo, Point Given) also won an NW3, bringing her record to 3-3-0-0-0.

[color=blue]Skiptheroses (4yo, Tryst of Fate) won an NW2.

[color=red]Robin’ Magic (4yo, Robin Hood) won an NW1.

[color=red]Vote For Me (5yo, Candidate) ran 2nd in an Open Allowance in England.  She’ll continue racing in England - hopefully until she can buy a plane ticket home!

Finally, very exciting wins from my 2yos: [color=blue]Grimm and [color=red]Red Light, both by Black Light II, won their maiden races against large fields of 14! I purchased both of them for $1000 late last year, and based my decision to try racing them this early because of their heights/expected heights. Looking forward to continuing to race these ponies!

Also Ran:
[color=blue]Handsome Count (3yo, Count Me In) - 4th/14 in a maiden
[color=green]D’angelo (4yo, Strider) - 5th/10 in the Jacques Cartier Stakes

Not great today sent out 6, no winners and the best performing pony was a first time out 2yo who finished 2nd. We did have a little celebration though as [color=blue]Quarren’s 3rd place in the City and Suburban earned him his ICh title, our first horse to reach this milestone  :smiley: Looking forward to the rest of the year before he joins Blue Smoke in the stud barn next year.
