Racing News:
This season sees the return of Heat Seeker's kid brother Swain's Gold to the track. It just kills us that management issues may have cost him his best runs, but we are determined to let this colt prove himself. This season also sees the starts of our second ever foal crop!
Fillies Amaterasu, Skip A Roo, and Cajun Sunrise and colts Ghangadhar Rao and Astrapios have moved to Barn 2 to begin their careers. They join established runners Livewire, Light Touch, and MGSW Swain's Gold as well as sophomore racers Unforgiv'n, Perfect Summer, Perfect Charmer, Prince Stephen, and Bluegrass Thorn in our string. 13 runners is our largest string to date, but we have every confidence for a successful season.
Breeding News:
The 2015 foals have arrived!! First to drop was the Civil War-Bumbelina filly Bellum Civile followed quickly by the others...except Piavonic and Showella, that is. Finicky mares waited over a week after the others to give us the last two foals in the entire game. It was worth it, though, as they gifted us with Piavonic's only PF filly and Showella's only PF colt.
We wrap up this breeding season with 8 fillies and 2 colts and, though it breaks my heart, Revotic's filly (Just Desserts) is being offered for sale. A lovely black, she should make some lucky stable very happy.
We've decided to take some time this season and re-evaluate our long-term breeding goals. A selection of breeders from Barns 3 and 4 will be offered for sale later in 2015 and new stock will be imported to further near our ideals to reality.
