Vortex (USA, 2015)
15.3hh Light Bay filly by Roll of Thunder x Millenium Tower (Troll Tower)
===========================
Trainer's Notes: Sire had dual surface handling, but much preferred turf (setting 2 TR over weeds). Dam is also dual surface, but was run almost exclusively over dirt - have to wonder how she'd have done on turf. Vortex is outstaying the other foals over grass and looks like she might be able to handle dirt, too....
Owner's Notes: Bit of a crapshoot breed; turf or dual for mile and up. Millie's first looks sharp; hoping this one is just as promising.
Bloodstock manager: Thunder Arctic, Grindstone, Buckpasser, Troll Tower, Affirmed, Go for Wand, and Cryptoclearance in 5.
Tailline 2-f, Haplotype F. Type F 2 includes: Teddy (2-n), The Tetrarch (2-o), Sundridge, Sea-Bird (2-n), Gainsborough (2-n), and Meld.
Special Notes: 8th of Crop. Tie with Sweet Sixteen for Shortest in Crop.
