Definitely a mixed bag across the board, but mostly mediocre. Sent out 12 and half hit the board, but most were in the 3rd/4th range.
[color=blue]Rock Stardom has now won 2 in a row with us, scoring in his first OA. Might try him in stakes company next time.
[color=blue]Macau ran 2nd/6 in his NW1 but cut himself, so he’ll be resting until October.
[color=blue]War Letters came off a long break to finish 3rd/6 in an OA.
[color=blue]Glory of Love ran 3rd/8 in his OA.
[color=red]Ekosian managed a 4th/6 in her OA.
[color=red]A.P. Goodyear made her SC debut with a 4th/8 in an OA.
Winners [color=blue]Magic Roundabout, (2yo, Magic Glory x What’s That About) 1/6 in an NW2 in Australia. His first win. [color=red]Ch. Boundless Train, (3yo, Strike It Rich x By Honor Bound) 1/5 in the G3 Pucker Up Stakes at Arlington. Her second SW in her last three races. She will have one more race before heading to the Breeder’s Cup. [color=red]Ch. Hi Honey, (3yo, Foolhardy x Cherokee Accent) 1/5 in the G1 Rosehill Guineas in Australia. Her fifth SW and seventh win overall, all this year. She will have one more race before heading home for a rest, then on to Belmont for the Breeder’s Cup.
Third [color=blue]GCh. Attheheartofitall, (6yo, Alydar x Blazin’ Hearts) 3/6 in an OA in Australia. His first paycheck for us this year.
Also Ran [color=red]Finally, (5yo, Alley Cat x Foxfire) 11/12 in an OA at Arlington. [color=blue]DoubleOrNothing, (5yo, A.P. Indy x By Honor Bound) 6/8 in an OA at Woodbine.
[color=blue]Attheheartofitall was bought by Marshall Creek Farm after his race. We wish them the best of luck with him and hope that they manage to get him the SW needed to become stud-qualified.
[color=red]GCh. The Woman In Black finished 7th/10 in Townsend Mischief Stakes. I hope that it was just some bad luck! She seemed well prepared.
[color=blue]Ch. Al Mundhir won the Grade 2 Jamaica Stakes and earned his Champion title. I wasn’t planning to enter him! This is his second stakes win and the other one was on dirt.
I sent out two, brought home 3…and they all 3 won.
I claimed 2YO [color=blue]Bear Witness simply because I now own his sire, and have none of his offspring. In addition, his dam is pretty impressive herself - champion, stakes winner, multi-stakes placed, from a gold dam… Even though he won his race today, he hasn’t even hit his minimum adult height (he’s a tiny 14.3hh). I’m happy to give him a bit more time to grow up, then see what we can do with him.
2YO [color=blue]Nazgul (Jazz It Up) won his NW2, breaking his maiden finally. Fingers crossed that we can repeat this next time, too.
And best of all, our 2YO [color=blue]Ch. Ducati (Magic Cross) won his SECOND G1, beating out two horses I considered not running him against - Batista and Nightwatchman - and right after realizing how low his NE is. Super, super proud of my boy. He’s headed to the farm to rest up for his next big thing. He will definitely be aiming for the Breeder’s Cup (he will be my first ever entry!), but will likely hit up a race between now & then as well.
