Not bad results, but I was especially happy about [color=blue]Don Galante (ICh. Prince Of Wonder x GCh. Private Party) finishing 3rd/6 in a NW2. He remains a maiden and it’s his first time in the money. His dam started racing as a 4yo and his sire seemed to have his best year as a 3yo, so I wasn’t expecting him to run well this year. Actually, he still has some to grow… he’s not much taller than his half brother, currently a yearling.

Sent out 11, and 6 hit the top three.

WINS

[color=red]MADD ABOUT YOU (2yo, Express Yourself) broke her maiden in a NW2, her second start.

[color=red]MAGDA SEARUS (2yo, Belanso) broke her maiden in a NW3, her second start.

[color=red]KA (2yo, Bellagio) won her maiden race, her second start.

PLACES

[color=red]KERRIED AWAY (2yo, Take Me Away) finished second in her NW2, her second start.

[color=blue]GCh. ZADAR finished second in the G3 Hyperion Stakes.  If I am correct, he just needs one more G1 stakes place to earn his studhood.  Just happy to see him still on his game.  He’ll be aiming for more G1s, so hopefully he keeps it up.

SHOWS

[color=blue]EXTOL (3yo, What’s Debatable) finished third in his NW3.

Several others were on their first ever start with no training, so I’m not super shocked at their results.  Time will tell!
