Superfection, who was the 1.2 million dollar half brother to Super Saver has been adopted by Samantha and he's currently working on flat work. He suffered an injury, so he never made it to the race track, so Samantha adopted him after his injury and has been rehabbing and retraining him ever since. Glad to know he's found a good home! And thanks to Winstar for sharing this info.

He's a nice-looking horse, and I'm glad that he's found an owner who will do everything to rehabilitate him. If he recovers from the injury, he could make an outstanding saddle horse...being by MdO and out of Super Saver should indicate some decent athletic ability.
He was originally bought by Sheikh Mo for that $1.2 million price...I wonder how he ended up with Samantha?

How wonderful- and half brother seems to be a sweet, silly type of horse- at least what I have seen from him on the cams.

Antonia Autumn (full to Gio Ponti) is entered in R7 at GP on Sun. She last raced 5/19/13.

Leadem in Ken (Sky Mesa x Last Kitten), whose dam is full to Precious Kitten and 1/2 to Kitten's Joy, is entered in R9 at FG on Sun. He's won twice in 5 starts.

Hertzalot (Smart Strike x Megahertz (GB)) is in R8 at Tampa on Sun. His only previous start was a 3rd in a MSW at Tampa last month.

I believe Antonia Autumn is by Bernstein, whereas Gio is by Tale of the Cat...so they would be 3/4?

You are correct. My bad!

He was a late scratch, didn't see why. Seamark (Distorted Humor x Ajina) won the race by open lengths.

BaroqueAgain1 · Thu Jan 09, 2014 5:45 pm

TVG's Turdd Schrupp made a dismissive remark about Seamark winning at Golden Gate, but why wouldn't Darley run a good horse at that track to break its maiden? Sheikh Mo's 'home' track is Meydan...and what do Golden Gate and Meydan have in common? Yep, the Tapeta surface. If Darley is looking for runners who may excel at Meydan (for the Carnival, perhaps?), starting them at the Northern California track makes sense to me.

She's got to be named for Mary Cassatt, right? What a neat name if she is.
