@Nicole11 Sorry there’s no TC sweep, but 1-1-3 is still pretty good! Still plenty of time to score that stud qualification, too.

Pretty rough for our group, but we had quite the mixed bag running today.

Another great day, the third consecutive race day with 10+ winners. We’ve had 31 winners in the past three racedays and a total of only 114 winners for the whole year so far.

Highlights of today are:-

  • Bele winning the Cab Calloway. He just needs 1 SW of any grade to become the third son of recently retired Blarneystone Lane to be stud-qualified (I would be interested to find out if any other mare has had three sons at stud at the same time?).
  • 3 2YO winners today, bringing our total of 2YO winners this year to 7.
  • Ahoy Sailor finishing second in the Belmont Stakes. Even though he is still a maiden, he finished second in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes but didn’t run in the Preakness Stakes. Commiserations to Nicole that Cop in Morgue couldn’t win the TC. We’ve been close a few times in the past and know the heartbreak.

I did some preliminary investigation and there is one mare, Dark Victory, who had 3 sons (Certain Victory, Dark Continent & V is for Victory) qualified for stud, although Certain Victory was never actually bred to any mares.

Apart from Blarneystone Lane, there have been 15 mares who have two sons standing at stud (although 7 of them had at least one son who never bred any mares):-
A Diamond Jewel - Crown Jewels & Crystal Rainbow (Crown Jewels never bred any mares)
Alwuhush - Azhei & Allinvain (Azhei never bred any mares)
Clever Act - Forget da Act & Second Guess (neither of them bred any mares)
Dark Magic - Candidate & Changeling
Dayatthebeach - Black Sand & In The Navy (Black Sand never bred any mares)
Decisive Victory - Glorious Victory & Worthy Victor
Dreams of Silver - Day Of Dreams & Silver Tongued (neither of them bred any mares)
Gilded Sky - Al Mundhir & Hidden Destiny
Golden Legend - Beau Esprit & One Lucky Soul
Highland Raven - Slew O’Scots & Starling
Highland Sorceress - Highland Wizard & Magic Cross
Opening Act - No Way to Act & Stagehand (No Way to Act never bred any mares)
Risky Venture - AndLikeThatHesGone & Venture His Due
Second Chance - High Chances & Steal Your Heart
Somethin’ Smokin - No Smoking & Spock (No Smoking never bred any mares)
