19 : 5 - 3 - 2 Win-26.3% OTB-52.6%
Stakes Wins: 1 I Maiden Wins: 2 I 2 Year Old Wins: 0

I only started one 2yo so I'm ok with that. =D My now-3yo crop is stilling failing horribly - I KNOW I have some great fillies in my barn! I just need to figure out what in the world I am doing wrong! However, I got my first homebred win! I am soooo happy to see that Procrastinating broke her maiden. I suppose my naming was a little to be at fault, as she certainly waited 4 starts before even placing otb in her 5th, but I am not complaining any more! She has some stakes quality siblings and nieces and now that she broke her maiden (59 for 5f - not bad) I can't wait to start her half sister who is by none other than Lost in the Fog. Authority was the other maiden winner - he absolutely demolished a maiden claimer in a hand ride. Yay!

I had two allowance winners. Sea of Gold is still kicking butt with his turf sprinters - Keep it Quiet won a hard fought victory in his NW2. I got another allowance winner in To Those Who Try, a former claimer who I am glad I kept in training!

Finally, I CAN'T BELIEVE I won a graded stakes! Granted, it was only G3 and in Puerto Rico, but Riverside finally won her stakes victory!

Also, I claimed 5 (5!! I only didn't get 2 I wanted!), and am very pleased with my purchases. =D Great week, even if I didn't bag much money!

I'd say I was sorry, but I'm really not. Lol. I'm always happy to have another winner in my barn.

Secret Pleasure was 2nd in a stakes in Milan maybe... Halides was 3rd in the Vinnie Roe.

My Foal trade with Ara rocked, cause the colt that I got won first asking, Cosmonaut! yay! Also Night Shift had a winner, The Keeper won!

This Is Notable won her rac ein Hong Kong, finally breaking her maiden and Masassauga won a NW2 Allowance race in Japan. 10f might be just beyond her scope but she fought bravely to win.

lol, it's my fault because I saw him up for sale at least three or four times over the past year and kept actually forcing myself NOT to press the "Buy" button!

A great week for me! 2 stakes wins - Pinafore in a G3 I sponsored (it's really hard to find older filly turf route stakes, she's going to Dubai next), and Silver Yakuza won the "Classic Handicap Chase" by 7 lengths! I also had one stakes place, and an allowance win. I picked up one claim on a 2yo, and lost an older filly to a claim (but made money on her overall, so that's OK

)

I'm sure nobody will care about this except for me, but Jolly Good makes my first ever open stakes win. I've won a couple of Trial Park stakes, but nothing that is open to everybody. I hope that trend continues!

I had a few wins, but I thought it most impressive that two of my wins came from babies of the same dam. Inamorata, my Sadler's Wells-Honor Bright mare (oh, Honor Bright, those were the days! I miss having her to breed!) has two kids of racing age thus far, both of whom won: Blushing, a 3yo filly by Redoute's Choice, and Is Wanting Enough, a 2yo filly by Kotashaan. Blushing is now 3:2-0-1 and Is Wanting Enough is 1:1-0-0.
