We had a good week last week, as we won three Two Year Old Maiden Specials. One was a first time starter (PRIZE WINNER owner Penny Lauer) a Pennsylvania Homebred that ran at Presque Isle Downs in Erie, Pennsylvania. The other two winners ran at Hoosier Park; second time starter (IT'S RODEO TIME owner Ron Saunders) and third time starter (ON Z RUN owners Penny Lauer and Jerry Merritt). We also had  two year old (RUNFORHONOR owners Penny Lauer and Jerry Merritt) run a bang up second at Presque Isle Downs.  The stable is up to 33 wins and over $844,000 in year to date winnings. With any luck we could go over the million dollar goal this weekend as we will be running about ten horses which includes three stakes races. 

 

The Keeneland Sales are over and they were slightly up overall which is encouraging to the horse industry. We sold three horses that we either owned all or part of. We have three Pennsylvania Bred Yearling fillies selling next week in the Fasig Tipton Maryland Sale. It is only a two day sale but a good sale, and a lot of really nice horses have come out of it. (They also have great food available if you like crab cakes.)

 

We have had about ten drops of rain since August 20th and the earth is cracking. This follows up the 86 days of over 90 degree temperatures this summer. Hottest summer in recorded history here. We look forward to a good soaking rain and the cooler fall temperatures.
