Baby Greyhound (USA, 2002)
17.0hh Lt Bay filly by Deputy Commander x Heavenly Prize (Seeking the Gold)
16: 3-4-6 $641,000
================================
Trainer's Notes: Saw 2 seasons with MGSW including a G1 at 2. Unplaced in only 3 starts. Excelled at 8-8.5 Dirt, 3 Shows over 10-12 Turf with 2 being G1 and the third G2
Owner's Notes: I liked Baby Greyhound when Crista sent her to PG, when I found out she might be available I put a call in to Jim. She cost us Just Desserts, but that's ok since I needed a mare and Desi needed a barn that can afford to take their time with her. Desi will be missed, but I know Jim will take excellent care of her. Babe was acquired as a brood and will likely make a return trip to PG at some point.
