BlindLucky, I am envious--he is gorgeous. I thought Flower Alley was one of the handsomest of the stallions at 3 Chimneys last year. And the PG connection can't hurt.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

I'm pretty disappointed we haven't been able to see any of her foals succeed on the race track, no less see her on US grounds.

Have any of her foals even made it to the track?

Rhett Butler raced once, this year at Saint-Cloud. Admirer made one start last year at Windsor.

They highlighted this win on HRTV since one of the owners in his partnership is HRTV commentator Bob Baedecker, who happened to be on the air Saturday evening :)

super green down the stretch but as soon as he realised what he was supposed to be doing, he looked good. give him another race or 2.

V E Day's full sister English Sunset is set to make her 1st start - 1 1/8 miles on the grass at Gulfstream on New Years Day. She's been working pretty solidly.

** Ran 5th. I think she ran great. The more distance the better!

Adirondack King (Lawyer Ron x Jostle) won the Auld Lang Syne S. today at Parx (dead-heat with Sailor's Revenge). They were 10 lengths in front of the 3rd place finisher.

The two colts with the famous dams to debut soon: http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/sh ... fm?id=1600

Trainer John Shirreffs has Zenyatta’s first foal, Cozmic One (Bernardini) underneath his Santa Anita shed row.
Kiaran McLaughlin has charge of Rachel Alexandra’s firstborn, Jess’s Dream (Curlin), at Palm Meadows Training Center.

Shirreffs told TDN he is aiming Cozmic One for “something at two turns” at Santa Anita. The dark bay or brown worked five furlongs handily in 1:01 on Monday. “He’s very fit,” Shirreffs said. “He needs to learn to break from the gate. He hasn’t been okayed from the gate yet. And then he needs a fast work, and he’s ready to go.”

McLaughlin told TDN he would ideally start Jess’s Dream at “seven [furlongs] to a one-turn mile” at Gulfstream Park. The dark bay or brown most recently breezed five furlongs in 1:00.25 on Dec. 18. “Thirty days or so,” McLaughlin estimated. “We just have some work to do at the gate. He definitely is not a sprinter. He wants to run longer and that’s why we’ve been taking some time with him, because he’s a big, long-striding colt that wants to go farther.”

It's really nice to read that both colts seem strong and sound in times when horses are getting more and more fragile

On Tap (c. 12 Tapit-Fantastic Shirl) entered Jan 3 in a MSW at Aqueduct, race 6. Dam is a SW, 1/2 sister to Shakespeare, Perfect Shirl, and Lady Shakespeare.
He was 3rd in his first start. I think this horse will be one to try on the grass with that pedigree.

Two well-bred fillies finished 1-2 in the Affectionately S. at AQU today. America (A.P. Indy x Lacadena) beat Penwith (Bernardini x Comoosure) by a nose.a

I really hope they keep America in training, she's hitting her stride!
