*Gold Shield (Medaglia d'Oro x Dream Supreme)
Da Jenius (Malibu Moon x Madcap Escapade) is also in this.

Neither of them did much.

Dreaming of Julia's little brother, Atreides, destroyed the field in the Gulfstream Park Monarchos Stakes. He won by 17 1/2 lengths.

Same!
He looks like a nice colt. Will be interesting where they go from here with him. He is 3 for 3.

Got a chance to drive over to Gulfstream and see him run for the second time today - he really is a beautiful horse.

A few of Gulfstream horses that popped up after the big barns went north (Fast Anna, Little Alexis) have run really well in big races with relatively light seasoning. It'll be interesting to see where they go with this horse, who is simply outclassing his rivals down there.

DRF says that he already received a 105 SF.

They really separated themselves from the field. That was nice to see!

Atreides is certainly and exciting prospect. Like Dustino I'm curious as to where he will be pointed to next; the waters are a lot deeper outside of Gulfstream Park but he appears to have a load of talent.

Ol' Man River (IRE) (Montjeu x Finsceal Beo (IRE)) broke his maiden at the Curragh today.

She's pretty gigantic, so they've taken their time with her. She'll probably end up on turf at Churchill this fall, but for now she just needs a race.

So now that I mention this, she'll totally tank today I'm sure
Whew! After she broke through the gate while they were loading, I was sure she was done for. But she had the lead until late stretch and stayed on for 2nd

Congrats on your filly placing at first asking!

She was 4th. The winner, Feathered, was so impressive that no one else looked too hot.

CoronadosQuest · Sun Aug 31, 2014 4:23 pm

Feathered is a granddaughter to Finder's Fee and was SUPER impressive!

I still have faith in Lady Serena!

She ended up finishing 4th? I'm surprised because she looked very uncomfortable on the track. I'm not sure how good a race this was....... I just saw that the 6 furlong fraction was 1:12 and change, which seems kind of slow. That said, LS is a lean, elegant filly who had a bad post for a debut and so certainly she should improve next out.

Speaking of Honor Code, is he still around? Has he been retired?

ChampionCurlin · Sun Aug 31, 2014 4:33 pm

Southern Barbecue (full to Jackson Bend) broke his maiden today at GP in R4.

Izvestia · Sun Aug 31, 2014 5:16 pm

The big mare Canadian champion Irish Mission (by Giants Causeway, out of SW Misty Mission) just won R6, the G3 Glen Falls, at Saratoga. She is a half sister to French Beret.
