We ended the month of September with a win and started the month of October with a win taking the stable earnings over $800,000 so far this year. Trainer standings nationwide: 204 as of today.

The stable had a couple of good days. We ran three and won three at Indiana Grand. LADY MOLLY won for owner and breeder Jim Edgar. EYESONTHELADY won for owner/breeder Jerry Merritt and Penny Lauer. And today homebred AFT won for Penny Lauer. AFT won back to back races taking him over $100,000 in earnings to date. This takes the stable to 31 wins and over $700,000 in earnings for the year. With some luck, we may still hit a million in earnings.

We are in the last five weeks at Indiana Grand and next week Keeneland starts. We need to start thinking of getting some horses for Hot Springs this winter.

Two more days of the Keeneland Yearling Sales in case you hit the lottery today!

We attended the TOBA luncheon and dinner in Lexington at the beautiful Hill N Dale Farm on Friday where we were presented with this beautiful trophy. We are honored and feel very lucky to  have won this award for the third time. Our win as the 2014 Indiana Breeder of the Year was mostly due to MISTER POLLARD who won 2014 Indiana Horse of the Year. We did have a couple other home bred stake performers as well (Hoosier Neighbor, Dreamin Big).

Tomorrow is the beginning of the Yearling Sales. I would be happy to look for something for you. We always need to restock the barn and this is a great spot to start!
