Most exciting, [color=blue]Triomphe (5yo, Magic Glory), who I just bought this past week at Ivy Creek’s auction, won an open allowance, while setting a speed record! I love buying horses from Ivy Creek!! I always seem to have good luck with them, especially on their first time out.
[color=red]Comedy Queen (3yo, High Chances), who I bought from Ivy Creek a couple months ago and who also set a speed record in her first race for me, placed 4th in a NW3.
[color=blue]Forest Guardian (3yo, Oscillation) placed 2nd in a NW2 over jumps.
[color=green]Dust Collector (4yo, Created), my dear and reliable FF starter horse, placed 2nd in an open allowance.
[color=blue]Mood Indigo (3yo, All Jazzed Up), who I claimed from Ivy Creek 
in April, placed 2nd in a NW3 steeplechase.
Finally, [color=blue]So Naive (3yo, Gunningdownromance) placed 4th in an open allowance. This was his first time out of the top 2 in his 7 races since I claimed him, so I really can’t complain.
Really good efforts from our girls today 
[color=red]In The Loop (4yo As You Wish) stepped up from mainly running in starter allowances to win the ungraded Torrey Pines Stakes 
[color=red]High Expectations (4yo Double Cross) took the opposite route after earning her keep in stakes, winning her starter allowance by 23 lengths 
[color=red]Send Me Flowers (5yo Sadlers Wells) stepped up on a poor effort last time, 2nd in her OA. Hoping she can get the other 30 odd points for her Grand Champion title.
Decent week, but only about 1/2 were on the board.
Black Cherry (High Chances) won his 8th stakes win of the year.
City Upon a Hill (Crystal Rainbow) won his 4th stakes win of the year in his Gr. 3.
Laird’s Own (Highland Laird) won her ungraded stakes.
Reprise (High Chances) held her own in an OA.
Toast of the Town (Takemetohollywood) came in 2nd behind Black Cherry in their Gr. 2
Uninspired (Created) was 2nd in her NW1.
Flower Power (Gunningdownromance) was 2nd in her NW2.
Out of the Ashes (Strider) was 2nd in his OA.
Holy Cow (Holy Bull) was 2nd in his OA.
Not all that great for our stable today but a couple of our studs had some babies to be proud of.
3yo GCh. Fight The Twilight (Nightfight), Ivy Creek owned, ran second in the Saranac Stakes. He has only been off the board once this year.
Our own, 4yo Ch. Shadow Play (Nightfight), won the G1 Ballerina Stakes against tough competition.
Oakwood owned, 2yo Ch. Promise Of Night (Nightfight), won the Adirondack Stakes. This was her second stake win this year. She’s hit the winners circle almost every time out so far.
Generous Bloodstock owned, 4yo Ch. In The Loop (As You Wish), won the Torrey Pines Stake. She has hit top 3 every time out this year and 50% in the winners circle!
I’m glad to sell good ponies and not duds. I love when my ponies get great new active homes.
Only sent three out, but we were all on the board today.
[color=blue]Laevateinn (2yo, Sleipnir) WON the G2 Saratoga Special, his second stakes win, remaining undefeated at stakes level so far. Fingers crossed for this boy…
[color=blue]GCh. Fight The Twilight (3yo, Nightfight) PLACED in the G3 Saranac Stakes. This boy won’t ever be studified unless I can cure him of his placeitis! He is my worst case, but he’s reliable to finish in the money at least.
[color=blue]Copycat (2yo, Mr. Prospective) SHOWED in his maiden race.
So-so day, with less than 50% of our runners finishing on the board.
