The ups and downs of week 11-12

Post by Ma Springs »

Week 11-12 seem to be the weeks where I've sent out routers with the wrong equipment and productive milers hoping they will have a shot (they rarely do).

But these two last weeks I've had so many nice results with my turf fillies...! I'm really happy and feel the need to tell someone (sorry! 😇) about them (and also wonder if I've peaked and could aswell disperse my barn now 🤔😆).

Here comes my braggy cavalcade of things I like:

Kiss Me More 3yo by One and Only, also niece to Volcanologist, I ❤ this filly, as of today a G1 winner taking home the Secretariat Derby

Smashing 3yo by Take by Storm, just won a second G2

And from last week:
Dancing Heart 3yo by Racing Heartbeat, G2

Gravity 3yo Steward bred by Antares, second G2 win

Obsidian Tiara 4yo TR by Obsidian Fury, G2

Sky Came Falling 3yo TR by Improvisational, and niece to Laura Palmer, G3 win

Atlantic Crossing 2yo TM by Tithanos, Listed stakes

Show-off-show over, thank you for your time! 🙂

Wow, this a very nice collection of big winners - congrats! They look too good to suddenly stop doing well, though I admit to getting scared too when things go really well in my stable.

You are building such an amazing barn. I hope you know that you have been an inspiration my whole time here because you were graduating from TP right when I joined.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure the stars just happened to align last week, but it was fun. (Sorry to anyone fed up with this thread!) 😄

Katie, I'm trying to be a good student! 👩‍🎓

And John, the only way from there is up, right? ☺ I'm sure your next one will come sooner than you know!
