His first crop averaged $80,000 at Keeneland November with the help of a lovely $300,000 colt in Book 2. I was impressed with the weanlings I saw. Here's a photo of one I'm particularly fond of, no bias or anything!

We picked up a Haynesfield filly at Keeneland September. She already looks a lot different than her sales picture below, but she's still totally adorable. I'm a sucker for chestnuts--here, just take my money and shred it up and feed it to her

Our 2 yr old filly, Sunshine Daydream (Haynesfield x Very Nice), is getting big! She's working at Woodford in FL and will get a month or so off to do some growing, then ease back into training over the late spring/summer in KY. No need to rush
She's starting to look like her sire, if maybe a little more leggy.

I know I already told you BL, but I just LOVE that filly. She has such a ladylike head and is so nicely pieced together!
Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on the horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!

I'm totally smitten, and happy that we all agreed on a name that gives a nod to the Grateful DeadInsane Crazy wrote:I know I already told you BL, but I just LOVE that filly. She has such a ladylike head and is so nicely pieced together!

She's beautiful, developing very nicely, and I love the name! The pictures are great. I can see why you're smitten. Pretty head, lovely body, and looks to have a nice stretch in full stride. It'll be fun to follow her progress with you. I'm excited for you!BlindLucky wrote:I'm totally smitten, and happy that we all agreed on a name that gives a nod to the Grateful DeadInsane Crazy wrote:I know I already told you BL, but I just LOVE that filly.

There's a book called 'Baby Haynes' about a foal up here in WA that lost his mom and was adopted by a paint mare that had just happened to lose hers about the same time. And Baby Haynes himself is now named Myuddermamasapaint, and started his career this year at Emerald Downs. Hasn't broken his maiden yet, tho.
Was kinda hilarious to hear about how much work the announcer and handicapper put in to get that name right! XD
