We had one of the best days we’ve had in a long, long while. We sent 8 out:
2YO homebred [color=red]Queen Catarina (x King David) won her NW1, her second win in three starts. This girl is shaping up to be something special, and her dam is proving to be a consistant producer as well. It’s a win-win for us.
2YO homebred [color=red]Coquette (x Bellagio) also had her second win today from 3 starts, only hers was in a NW3. I am very, very excited to see where her career goes from here.
2YO [color=blue]Ducati (x Magic Cross) won his NW3 as well. This colt has won twice and showed twice from four starts - with one of the shows being at the stakes level. These are definitely my top 3 2YOs so far, and I’m excited to have so much promise this year. Normally my 2YOs are all duds.
4YO homebred [color=green]Notmyfirstrodeo won his NW2 after recently switching to steeplechasing. It was clearly a wise choice to switch him over, even though he didn’t do terrible on the flat.
3YO leased mare [color=red]Never Doubt (x No Duplicate) ran 2nd in her first steeplechase. This is especially important as it is her first time ever on the board, so I’m probably more excited about this result that I should be.
2YO [color=red]Nicole’s Majic (x A.P. Indy) ran second - her second placing from four starts. I’m still trying to figure out how to get her to be consistant, but at least the talent is there.
3YO homebred [color=blue]Imprimis (x King David) ran 3rd in his SC open allowance. This boy loves to be on the board, but has refused to ever enter the winner’s circle.
And the “worst” finish of the day goes to our 3YO homebred [color=red]Girlfight (x Nightfight), who ran 4th in the Purple Violet Stakes. She has recently turned over a new leaf after some equipment changes - apparently she is VERY sensitive to having the right combination - one of which is the lack of a whip. Entering her in a stakes race was a complete snap decision, and a 4th place finish is still promising in my book.
No one came in any less than 4th. I don’t think I could tell you the last time this has happened!
