Terrific debut for our 2yo filly
Folk Magic at Woodbine Saturday. She went 6f on the turf in 1:09.49 and won by 3.75 lengths.
She is the first starter in North America for freshman sire
Americain, who won the Melbourne Cup. Accordingly, her win has garnered quite a bit of press in Australia.

Hosehead Racing owns her in partnership with Polivka Equine and Brushy Hill. We bought her privately at the KEE yearling sale about 15 minutes after she RNA'ed for $24k.
Trained by Brian Lynch. Folk Magic is his first 2yo FTS winner on the grass at Woodbine in five years (previously 0-31). So he usually brings them on slow. Hoping we see continued development.
She is the 7th different winner so far this year for HHR. 2016 record: 25-7-4-3 $135,545.
Best,
Otis
