Wins
[color=red]Ch. Dior, (3yo, Spock x Poltergeist) in the G2 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont. After a string of indifferent performances earlier this year, she seems to have hit her stride with her 2nd consecutive win (both SW).

[color=blue]Risky Romance, (2yo, Gunningdownromance x Risk Away) in the G3 Kentucky Breeders’ Cup at Churchill Downs. He is unbeaten in his two starts, both SW.

Four out today, all 2 year olds.  Very pleased with the results.  :smiley:

Highland Valentine won her 5f NW3 Allowance on wet turf

Sound The Warhorn came in 2nd in his 5.5f NW3 Allowance on wet turf

Not Another Colt came in 3rd in his 5.0f NW2 Allowance on wet turf

Fault Lines is the only one who didn’t come up on the board, placing 6th in her 6f NW2 Allowance

Pretty excited by this group.  I’ve got high hopes for my two year olds, hoping to get myself back on track with racing after having so little time for any of it lately.

I didn’t get many ponies entered - half into stakes, half into 2yo maiden races.

6(3) - 1(1) - 0 - 1(1) - 1(1)

WINS
