On Saturday we were fortunate to win our first race at Turfway Park this year. We finally had a resemblance of a spring like day. Every year we get a week the end of February or first of March where every thing dries up. Lows 28-40 at night and daytime in the high 40's and gradually getting into the 50's. The sky is very clear at night and you can see all the stars. The farmers are all working furiously to get things done before it starts raining for a month. It is also the height of skunk breeding season in this area and the aroma is evident. There are a lot more of them flattened on the road (mostly males) do to their one track mind.

We have had six foals so far with a few mares over due. Speaking of breeding, we were awarded Champion Indiana Bred 3 year old filly (Trust N Seven) for 2009. This was the last foal we got out of the mare SEVENTIES as she died a day or two after foaling this Champion filly. This was quite an honor for us and our breeding program. We were also second leading breeder of Indiana Breds for money won in 2009. The winner was Swifty Farms who foals over 40 mares a year. He is the owner of Swifty Oil and has hundreds of gas stations.

Another home bred MOR CHANCES (NY Bred) has been nominated for New York-bred Male Sprinter for 2009 after winning four sprint stakes in a row and placing in the G-3 Westchester Stakes, going 1 mile at Belmont Park. He didn't run after July of 2009 due to some injury, but he has made one start this year so hopefully he will come back and do well.

We had the two Stake winners in 2009 and two stakes placed, all homebred from a limited number of mares. So, I think we raise a pretty good horse on our Shelby County farm. We have a lot of nice two year olds this year. All of which are available for purchase in whole or in part. Join us for an adventure in thoroughbred racing.
