Full-Brothers Fill Out Exacta In Rowland Memorial Handicap At Thistledown

Stage Raider half to Justify won a first level allowance race at BEL- didn’t see the race by apparently he slipped through on the rail to win.

Today was daughters of Winter Memories day.
Seasons (Tapit ex Winter Memories) ran huge off the layoff to finish 2nd in the Hilltop Stakes. She bobbled at the start.

One interesting tidbit about Seasons: she is a chestnut filly. Both of her parents are gray/roan! Reminds me of how Mucho Macho Man is bay and both of his parents are gray/roan.

Winter Sunset, the 5-yr-old gray/roan full sister to Seasons, almost looks white. She finished 6th in Race 7 today at Churchill Downs.

So happy to see Winter Memories produce quality offspring!

Derab (Sea the Stars), the 3YO 1/2 brother to Enable, broke his maiden easily today at Newmarket on his 3rd try.

I saw the Lake Lucerne race; she really turned it on in the stretch. Nice-looking filly.

Squeezed is more accurate.

He won the listed Fairway S at Newmarket today.. The Derby is next.

I'm really happy that Snow Fairy has a good son. I loved watching that mare race all over the world...tough, talented and had more frequent-flyer miles than the ISS.

Rombauer’s second dam is the excellent broodmare Ultrafleet, dam of California Flag, Cambiocorsa, etc. She is also the third dam of Roaring Lion.

Yeah, I didn't know that until I read an article after the race. Very nice family.

Prince Titp, half-brother of Maximum Security by Pioneerof the Nile, made his first sanctioned start over hurdles today at Radnor in a maiden claiming. He finished last.
War Film (Declaration of War x Film Maker) finished last in the other maiden claiming hurdle of the day.

Lavish McTavish, another member of the family, is going in a slightly less prestigious event tomorrow at CD, unless of course he isn't scratched which happens much more often than he actually enters a starting gate.

Liberty M D (Constitution), a daughter of G1W Dr. Zic, broke her maiden in Sunday's 4th at CD.

Unicorn Lion (No Nay Never x Muravka) won the Yahiko Stakes at Niigata in Japan. He is a half-brother to The Wow Signal, who won the G1 Prix Morny, was named Champion 2 Y/O in France, and sired a small number of foals before dying young.

The Wow Signal’s daughter Coeursamba won the French 1000 Guineas on Sunday.
