A few recent things struck us as interesting enough for an  observation, but that don’t really qualify for a full length piece. So, we thought we’d do a – more or less – random “Series of Notes” (the title being because we’ve got “Series of Dreams” from the most recent Bob  Dylan Bootleg – Vol. 8,  stuck in our head….its that Daniel Lanois guitar…. Anyway for those who are interested there is a link to it a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOnB_2I31_0).

The weekend saw three very good sprinting performances from a trio of three-year-olds. We’ve already noted the Tom Fool Handicap (gr. II) victory of Munnings (by Speightstown) over his older horses. A couple of hours later on the west coast, Zensational, another three-year-old made his debut against older horses in the Triple Bend Handicap (gr. I), and scored by a length in 1:21.0. click here to read more….

Sunday was a huge day for Dynaformer who scored an international “classic” group/grade one double via Wiener Walzer and Gozzip Girl, who captured the Gr. 1 German Derby and Gr. 1 American Oaks. What’s particularly interesting is that both Wiener Walzer and Gozzip Girl are out of mares by Kingmambo, as is Ocean Silk (stakes winner and group one placed, and a highweight in England). Not surprisingly, the Dynaformer/Kingmambo cross rates A++ on TrueNicks. click here to read more….

A couple of years ago we sold the stallion prospect Jaguar on the Run, a son of Storm Cat to Haras Barlovento in Peru with the owner Coolmore Stud staying in the horse for a small percentage. The deal was put together by Pedigree Consultants and Michael Burns, a bloodstock agent and journalist who covers the South American racing scene very well for the Thoroughbred Times and other publications.

We’ve written a lot abut this year’s group of second season stallions, and one of that group Speightstown, enjoyed a truly exceptional weekend. It started quietly enough on Saturday, with Fufty Too (TrueNicks A), taking the Dean Kutz Stakes at Canterbury Park. The primary importance of that victory was that it took Speightstown’s total of first crop stakes winners to eight, which we think makes him leader of the group by number of stakes winners, and he’s also leading second crop sire of 2009 by stakes winners, with seven this year. click here to read more….
