After two long shots winning the Manhattan Stakes (Grade 1) for us in subsequent years it might be a surprise to everyone else but not to us! Two very talented horses, with last years winner Ascend and today’s Spring Quality. As far as we were concerned it was just a matter of finding the right […]

Major Attitude
A horse with no attitude so obviously in name only! Turf seems to be this son of Colonel John’s game as after two ‘so so’ efforts on the dirt, today was a game changer. Congratulations to long time owners High Five Racing Stable.
Captain Hardship
Phew! It was his eleventh race but he got his first win under his belt at Belmont this afternoon over the mile and three eighths distance. Jose Ortiz was riding him for the first time. Congratulations to Revelation Partners.
Majestic Reason
She is now three years old and she was having her first run ever today. Half way in the six furlong race at Laurel she was in the lead and she kept that lead to win by a comfortable one and three quarter lengths at the wire. The second horse was five and three quarter […]
Battle In Seattle
An import from France last year Battle Of Seattle has taken his time to get back to the races but the Tapeta surface at Presque Isle was to his liking and we were lucky enough to get Jose Ortiz to pop over from Belmont to ride him to a win last night. Congratulations to Team […]
Smashing Serena Wins Maiden
Smashing Serena, by Violence, had being hitting the board in her previous five races and took a shot at Delaware yesterday when her grass race came off the turf. It paid off with Edgar Prado guiding her through traffic to win by a comfortable one and three quarter lengths. Congratulations to SF Bloodstock LLC.
Mythical Mission
Running just her second race for us since joining us in January of this year Mythical Mission sat patiently behind the pacesetter at Delaware yesterday and was given a well timed ride by Feargal Lynch to swing by and win by a comfortable length. Congratulations to owners and breeders Sam Son Farm.
Robin Hood
We had his mother Sense To Compete who was Stakes placed and her son Robin Hood is quite a character! He has a jolly ball in his stall with string attached and he swings it round like a shot putter and at times flings it out of his stall altogether – beware when walking by! […]
Draconic Treasure
It was one of those ‘phew’ moments when Draconic Treasure finally got her win last night at Presque Isle. Rarely off the board in her previous eight races she was always sitting on the first time. The Tapeta up there was to her liking and she won very nicely by four and a quarter lengths. […]
