Gangadhar Rao (USA, 2013)
17.2hh Black colt by Skim the Hill x Revotic (Revenge)
2: 0-0-0 $0
===============================
Trainer's Notes: Skimmy was Top Notch on the track. Here's hoping his son has the same talent. Looks like he has dual surface handling - should be a nifty threat under a mile. Gotta watch those long legs, though.
Update: Doesn't like Shenandoah and doesn't like the slop.
Owner's Notes: Funny how those markings passed; Daddy's front end, momma's back end and coat color...Will be watching him eagerly.
Bloodstock manager's notes: 7 millionaires in his first 4. 1 of 2 colts in Skimmy's 2013 crop, 1 of 2 foaled in USA, 1 of 4 foaled outside England, and Skimmy's only non-ENG colt from 2013.
Family 1-c; includes Maid of the Mint, Spearmint, Arts and Letters, Speculum (1878 Champion Sire - GB), and CF stud Bombed Out.

Revotic (AUS 2005)
Black mare, 15.3hh by Revenge (Stephen Got Even) x Exotic (Kotashaan) $174,050 36-1-4-4 From the Notebook: Trainer's Notes: Revotic's bloodlines is what first caught my eye; knowing her sire's reputation, the deal on Revotic was too good to pass up. Upon thorough review of her race history, it appears as though she was sorely mismanaged at the track. Considering that she raced against the likes of A Bus ('04), Case Closed ('05), True Ensign ('05), Taco Bell ('06), and her half-sister Isca's Revenge ('05) she didn't do half bad. Owner's Notes: Revotic is sired by the one of the greatest horses to grace the tracks of Photo Finish (if not The greatest). Revenge was a menace on the dirt at distances from 9 furlongs to 12 furlongs; he was near-unbeatable and is a living legend. Many feel that if he hadn't sat out the Deby in the injury barn he would have swept the Triple. As was expected by many, he is rapidly becoming one of Photo Finish's leading sires. It is the hope of Circle F that his daughter will show the same notoriety as a broodmare. With A.P. Indy and Serena's Song on top and Storm Cat on bottom, breeding Revotic is a no-brainer.
