Thanks Steve.
We certainly don't buy the most expensive yearlings and so they are often with pedigrees that aren't typical of getting them to the races early and most likely not until they are three years of age. Killer Bird is by Summer Bird and she was a very big young horse who got to the races midway last year when she was three and it is rewarding to have a trainer like Chuck who not only has a great eye in buying these yearlings at bargain prices but has the patience (something that I lack) to have them grow and wait until they are ready. Killer Bird ran a really nice race to win on Sunday and the good news is that we have a relatively fresh four-year old filly who is still eligible to improve and race the next 2-3 years before we retire her to the breeding side of the game. Gelato Gal is a filly that we actually stepped up and paid a bit more at the Keeneland Fall yearling sale in book 4 or 5. She was one of the two best fillies according to Chuck in the sale on that particular day (both by Hat Trick) and has been training up to her debut which should be sometime later this month also at Gulfstream Park. She is bred for the turf being by Hat Trick and we are hoping she can develop into a good miler. Oklahoma Den the old NY bred gelding is scheduled to run on April 9th as we are dropping him in class to find the right level. We have recently retired Pennypennypenny and she is doing better after her last race and will look to breed her in Ocala next year. Lastly, two mares that we raced awhile back Angry Dragon and Red Baroness (both by Smarty Jones) have their 2-year old NY bred colts sired by Frost Giant scheduled to be shipped from Ocala to Palm Meadows downs in May/June timeframe. Thanks again

Thanks PSH for the update on Penny. She's a personal favorite. I was wondering if she was done after December and she hadn't been back yet. Best of luck with breeding her and I hope she produces nice foals for you.

Thanks...That was exciting
Our old warrior Oklahoma Den gave us a thrill winning the first at GP on Saturday. Very exciting and thankful that the wire came in the nick of time. Thanks as always to Team Simon and Hope you cashed.
We have two running on Wednesday May 4. Killer Bird is back in the 4th and continues to train well for this one. Moves up facing winners. Gelato Gal is in the 6th for her second start. In her debut at 5/8 on the grass she broke slowly and never had a chance to recover given the short distance. She is training well should appreciate the mile distance and are expecting improvement in a tough MSW race Thanks again Paul

DRF: Chuck Simon continues hot run at this meet
Simon continues hot run at this meet
By Mike Welsch HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Chuck Simon has been one of the biggest advocates of summer racing on the south Florida circuit for the last two years. And his decision to stay here year-round certainly has paid big dividends this season. Simon saddled his sixth winner from just 17 starters since the Gulfstream meet began April 6 when he sent out J C Monba to capture Saturday’s second race under a nifty, rail-skimming ride by jockey Matthew Rispoli. The victory was the 328th for Simon in a career that began at Churchill Downs in 1999. “Everything we had ran pretty good this winter, and when the tougher horses left, we went from being 15-1 to 3-1 in the same spots,” said Simon. “We have a good crew, and fortunately the owners are realistic about where to place horses, which helps a lot.” Simon has 15 horses stabled at the Palm Meadows training center, including several 2-year-olds, and he hopes to purchase a few more babies at the June sales. “One advantage we do have is training here at Palm Meadows,” said Simon. “The place is awesome, the best training center in America, and I think it’s a huge edge. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to be there. They have dirt, turf, and the L-shaped training track. The barns are great, and Gulfstream pays our shipping. It’s a tremendous deal.” The best horse in Simon’s barn is Xaverian, a 5-year-old son of Sky Mesa who comes off a sixth-place finish behind Kaigun in the Grade 2 Pan American. He’s scheduled to run in Saturday’s 1 1/2-mile Gleaming Stakes. “He’s turned into a much better horse since we stretched him out further and since my ace rider, Susan Ditter, started getting on him,” said Simon. “She gets all the credit. I don’t even tell her what to do. She’s really figured him out, has got him happy, and he’s a far better horse now than when we first got him.”

I loved the way he gave all the credit for Xaverian's success to his "ace rider, Susan Ditter". Classy!
