First time turf, definitely like! Her first two races on the dirt were not disgraceful by any means but the transition to turf today made a difference for this daughter of Into Mischief. Hope Jones usually breeds and races her own horses but decided to buy at last years sale, a purchase who has paid […]

Decisive Triumph Triumphant…
in his second win. Last time his race was off the turf but he won well on the dirt. Today it was on his preferred surface on the undulating ups and downs of Kentucky Downs. An immature two year old he has grown into a very nice three year old. Congratulations to Albert Frassetto.

It’s The Truth
It’s The Truth’s win at Delaware yesterday made her winning rate 33%, now three races from nine starts. After all the rain we’d had the field scratched down to three runners as it was off the turf but I don’t think it would have mattered if there were more runners as she led from gate […]

So versatile, she’s been second in her last two starts over 1-1/16 miles and 1-3/8 miles. From the first crop of Blame, this was her third win. To greet her on her return to […]
Can’thelpbelieving Wins Cliffhanger Stakes (Grade 3)
