Soul Man
After running second and third consecutively in recent maiden special weights Soul Man ran for 25k today, winning easily. Congratulations to Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners.
Playful Love
Playful Love won convincingly at Penn National last night by six lengths. This was a nice confidence boosting spot for her on the dirt having not really appreciated her last outing on the grass. Congratulations to Narola, LLC.
So Proud Of Photo Call
Although she didn’t win, Photo Call ran on ground listed as good today in the Filly And Mare Turf. Her best races have been on firm ground so she was at a disadvantage. She was 5th in a blanket finish between 3rd, 4th and 5th (the naked eye could not split them), and was only […]
Reinstated
The Grade III status for the Pin Oak Valley View which Tiger Ride won over the weekend has been reinstated – yeah!
Donatienne
She made her fifth start a winning one today at Belmont Park. This daughter of Bandini has been close in a few but she did it well this afternoon, ably ridden by Manuel Franco. Congratulations to Regis Racing and glad she got the win for you before she goes to the November sale.

Unfortunately, since it was taken off the turf onto the main track the Grade 3 status was removed. The second horse was a Grade 1 winner on the dirt so it seemed […]
Up With The Birds
You gotta love him! A previous Canadian Horse of the Year he revisited Woodbine today for the Grade 1 Canadian International. Since joining us in March he has run very consistently in Graded Stakes but this was his best result, second in the Canadian International. One mile and a half might be his game. He’s […]
Dowager Stakes starring Kitten’s Point and Edgar Prado
I’ve said it a few times before so sorry if I sound like a broken record but Edgar Prado gets on particularly well with Mr. Strawbridge’s horses. He proved it again today when he steered Kitten’s Point around the rail to win the Grade III Dowager Stakes at Keeneland. This was her fifth Stakes win […]
One Year On……
Same time, same place, Holiday Star won the Grade III Sycamore Stakes for the second year in a row. Last year Rosie Napravnik rode him, this year the invincible Edgar Prado. This is Holiday Star’s sixth win but his two Graded Stakes wins have come in this race. He likes Keeneland! Holiday Star Posts Sycamore […]
