Proud Spell a go for '09
A slice of good news from Mary Rampellini's Oaklawn Notes in DRF yesterday..
Proud Spell to race in 2009 http://www.drf.com/news/article/100919.html While Old Fashioned sits at the top of the Jones stable's list of 2009 3-year-olds, the barn's most accomplished 3-year-old of 2008, the filly Proud Spell, will return for another year of racing, Jones said Wednesday. Proud Spell last raced Sept. 20 in the Fitz Dixon Cotillion Stakes at Philadelphia Park, and was thought to be retired to life as a broodmare after a 2008 campaign that could easily land an Eclipse Award. But about two weeks ago, Jones mentioned that owner Brereton Jones wasn't entirely pleased with the way Proud Spell was adapting to life away from the racetrack and on the farm, and was considering another year of racing for the filly. That thought has turned to reality, with Proud Spell walking under tack in Kentucky and set to rejoin Jones's string at Fair Grounds once all remnants of the equine herpesvirus outbreak here have passed. "She's officially back in training," Jones said. "They said she wasn't happy before, but now she is."

Pretty sad when it is now considered good news that a filly is returning for her 4yo season. It isn't like she could have produced 150 foals this year in retirement.
