Follow the Lights
Light Up Light Up - The Mirage (Kitasan Black)
I picked up The Mirage from AJ as a two year old, thinking she was a well-bred potential runner. Only after I bought her did I realize she was retired, and unpredictable as well. I was still quite new and hadn't yet bred any horses, so a broodmare wasn't what I needed, but since I had her, I figured I might as well put her to use.
Her second foal (part of my second crop) was Follow the Lights. She was born allowance, which was fine by me. The improvement update rolled in, she was revealed to be allowance late bloomer, even better. I thought about waiting for her to improve, but got impatient and ran her at two, figuring some maiden money is better than no money.
To my surprise, she won her debut. With a 95. Some allowance.
I bumped her to stakes, she made some money. During the break, she galloped peak, and won her first stakes race in her first race of the season. Then she ran second in the G1 Louisville Bunburette in a really nice field, and third in the G1 International Oaks.
Today, this homebred filly out of an unpredictable maiden oops purchase gave me my first ever G1 win in the $400,000 Japanese Oaks. Thank you, sim Santa

She’s a lovely filly and congrats on breeding her Shannon! A couple of my best horses were from unpredictable mares and I applaud your patience for giving the dam a shot. Well done!
