Ghostzapper gets his 2nd Queen's Plate winner in the filly Holy Helena

BaroqueAgain1 · Sun Jul 02, 2017 6:15 pm

She's out of Holy Grace, by Holy Bull. I feel like I've been seeing the 'Bull's name as the broodmare sire of a number of stakes winners (like Caravaggio) lately. Love seeing his influence continue like this.

Bull is one of the reasons I was rooting for her to win.

He's also the BM sire of yet another horse I quite like and had a lot of promise early on and is off to an interesting start at stud... Cairo Prince.

Holy Grace is also half to the dam of Adena Springs' G2 winner and young sire Rookie Sensation.

Zarkava's son by Dubawi finally makes good on his early promise by landing his first group I.

Like his dam, Zarak is a 12F horse!

I hope he will do well in the Arc.

Well, there's still time to breed her this year.

Gold Serenade is entered to run on July 10, 2017, at PRESQUE ISLE DOWNS.

At Prairie Meadows:

Iron Fist won the Cornhusker (gr. III) -- he's a full brother to G2 winner Anchor Down and a half to G1 winner Sweet Lulu.

Union Jackson won the Iowa Sprint -- he's by Curlin out of G1 winner Hot Dixie Chick.

Union Jackson?

''Yoshida Steps Up for Belmont Derby''

IIRC, he finished fourth. Not an embarrassing finish, but maybe he needs to step back from G1 races and get some more foundation under his girth.

Frank the Butcher (Medaglia d'Oro/Dreaming of Anna '14) is entered Friday at Arlington for his debut. Wayne Catalano trains.

Frank the Butcher (Medaglia d'Oro/Dreaming of Anna '14)...

Not my favorite name for a horse.

That's the same time Mubtaahij posted, so I suspect they were working together.

Lido (Street Cry x Cocoa Beach) won the 8th at Belmont, a 1 1/16-mile Allowance on the inner turf, in a nose-bob over Initiate.
