Woohoo! Had to come brag because i’m starting to get excited!

[color=blue]G.Ch. Devil’s Walk (3yo Nightfight) won the 10.0f Dirt Gr. 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup  ;D putting him into multi-millionaire status, making it his second Gr1 win and fifth stakes win overall! He only matured right at the end of last year, bucking the trend of being a 2yo Nightfight star so fingers crossed he will still be running next year to get him into studhood as I don’t know if he will get enough races in this year. BUT then again he only needs two more wins of any grade…  8)

The other ponies also did well so I better give them a mention
Overall 12(5)-6(2)-2(1)-1-0

WINS
[color=blue]Ch. Straticus (3yo Simply Heroic) won his OA in fine form, think we’re nearly onto his preferences

[color=blue]G.Ch. Crafty Magic (4yo Must Be Magic) won the 7.0f Turf Gr. 3 Hyperion Stakes putting him at 5 graded stakes wins now. He tries so hard this boy I get the feeling I should play with his equips to see if it helps him but I might wait for 2 more stakes wins yet…

[color=red]Aquanita (3yo Magic Glory) just recently gained an inch and posted an excellent time in her NW1

[color=red]Strange Encounter (4yo Sneak Peek) raced her second race for us and got her second win for us. I don’t remember why i bought her but we’ll see what happens

[color=red]Almost Found (4yo Almost Home) won her NW3, not a stellar time but a win is a win

PLACES
[color=red]Bonita Montana (3yo Sneak Peek) in an OA trialling equip changes :confused: one of those I had high hopes for but isn’t showing much spark

[color=blue]Ch. Quest For Victory (4yo Crystal Rainbow) sigh he keeps posting such promising start times but his name really has become such a bad omen for him. He got pipped at the post in the 9.0f Dirt Gr. 3 Adelaide Birthday Cup and now has eight places/shows in stakes to his name for one win out of nine starts. Really don’t want to geld this boy

SHOWS
[color=red]Twisted Continent (4yo Dark Continent) got 3rd in her OA, still playing with equips

OTHER
[color=red]Dejanay (3yo Moonopoly) got 6th/13 in an OA after a few wins, she didn’t like the F8

[color=red]Alycus (3yo Alley Cat) got 6th in the 8.5f SC Gr. 1 Vosburgh Stakes with a nice time, just that the first five had great times :confused: lol stablemate [color=green]Ch. Glorification (6yo Magic Glory) got 10th, but to be fair he has shown a preference for 11f +

BTW Lewis I just noticed Magic Glory is gold-rated, is that new?

TAAAAAANKED.  Like all of them, lol.  I was hoping for at least 1 paycheck, but not a thing.

Someday I’ll be raking it in like Shanthi :wink:

Congrats Steph with GCh. Devils Walk! Hope he gets studified for you. :smiley:

There have been these 4yos continue to do well through their 4yo year.  I see that if they mature a little late or continue to do well they have a tendency to have a little more staying power. Nightfight raced best his 5 and 6 year old years so I can’t wait to see how his foals do at those ages.  Who knows maybe the best is yet to come!

4yo GCh. Enyo  - Gained Multi-millionaire status this year.
4yo ICh. Fightin’ The Smoke - MSW this year and broke 3M in earnings.
4yo Ch. Shadow Play - G1 Ballerina Stakes
4yo Ch. Girlfight - Stake winner this year.
4yo Ch. Fake Number - MSP this year
4yo NCh. Sponsored - MSP
4yo Ch. Kentucky Wildcat - SP and top 3 in all starts

4-1-1-2-0 $40,000

All ponies were in the money, just not a whole lot of money.

[color=blue]D’angelo (3yo, Strider) won his NW3 over jumps.

[color=green]Swanson (4yo, Created) ran 2nd in his NW3 - good thing, I don’t think this boy will do well up against OA level competition.

[color=green]Hard Knockin’ (7yo, Created) ran 3rd in an OA over jumps.

[color=blue]Work Mate (3yo, Rock of Gibraltar) ran 3rd in his NW1.  Just gelded him - hopefully that’ll help him get into the winner’s circle.

Thanks holly its nice how much you keep an eye on your stallions’ babies. I really hope he at least runs next year, that would be perfect and anymore would just be icing on the cake. But those horses do give me hope, I haven’t really followed dirt fillies because I don’t have any high class ones so I missed seeing these girls
