8(2)-1(1)-1-1-1 $69,250

Wins:
GCh. Towering Clover (5yo, Edinburgh) in the Honorable Miss Handicap (Gr. 3) - Love this girl! She’s officially the first horse I’ve ever gotten to be “stud qualified,” as far as I understand the requirements. Unfortunately, she’s not a stallion. Lol. She’s got 7 stakes wins so far, including the G1 Mother Goose Stakes, and has placed 2nd or 3rd in 7 other races, including the 2022 G1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. We’re about $12,000 away from getting her to millionaire status, too! Will probably just keep racing her till she starts to slow down, but I’m excited to see what she could do in the broodmare band when the time comes, too.
