This is the last of the full brothers, I believe? I know the Dynaformers aren't exactly precocious, but not starting until four?

Yes, he is the last. I think they've been pretty honest in stating that he's had various issues and growing pains that have kept him from debuting sooner. He looks huge in pics.

Just watched the race on the feed, very nice job by her. Wonder if they will try a minor stakes for her next?

Nice win by Lady Serena.

The winner of the race 2 allowance at Belmont, Speightster, is out of Dance Swiftly (full sister to Dance Smartly). He's a half to SWs Paiota Falls and West Coast Swing.

How wonderful! I have been watching Dance Swiftly on the foaling cams for the last 3 years, good to know.

In Pennmarydel's defense, he was stuck behind traffic for much of the race, and he looked really confused about what he was supposed to do. Once he got clear room to run, he closed decently to get up for a close 4th place. Think he may be better next time out.
One thing good about his late debut is that his connections never got to push him into the 3yo dirt Derby preps. He gets to run on the green stuff, which IMHO most Dynaformers prefer.

Is that another of the dog names as it's a strange name?

IIRC it's a hunt club? In the tri-state Pennsylvania/Maryland/Delaware area. I think.

It's a type of Foxhound. I think Mr. Jackson's family had a hand in cultivating it. Perhaps the dogs in the painting are Penn-Marydel Foxhounds?

A good article from Chronicle of the Horse: http://www.chronofhorse.com/article/aft ... gs-shadows

At least I remembered it had *something* to do with fox hunting...
