Thanks MMSC!

The year did not go as planned for CFF, but very grateful to get some black type for her pedigree sheet. We hope this springboards her into becoming a productive race mare next year. She should get her highest speed fig yet. Those splits were scorching fast.

Update on the horses that I've purchased shares in 2015:

2yos (about to turn 3)

Strong Gale (f. Discreetly Mine - KY) - won her first start in a MSW at PID in August. 4th against colts at WO in next race. Resting for winter. Nick Caruso trains.

Mistevious (f. Stephen Got Even - ON) - Nick getting her ready to debut at Turfway Park in the next 6 weeks. Woodbine in spring.

Spanish Romance (f. Rip van Winkle - IRE) - Won her first two races in France. Ran in the G3 Albany at Royal Ascot and finished 6th out of 18, briefly had the lead with a furlong left. Trained by Eoghan O'Neill in Normandy. Will resume racing in the spring.

Dream Mover (c. Dream Ahead - GB) - Won his second race at Nottingham. Ran in a G3, but has been sidelined since August. should be back soon. Trained by Marco Botti in England.

Speak With Me (c. Lope de Vega - FR) In South Carolina. Yet to race. Probably a few months away. No American trainer yet. John Hammond had her in France last year.

MadameDubois (f. Count Dubois - SAF) Most recent acquisition won the G3 Starling Stakes in South Africa, and placed in two others.


Unnamed Yearlings (will be 2yo in 2016)

f. Americain - Johannesburg mare KY - purchased at KEESEPT15 sale. Very excited about this one, as there were not many at the sale. Should have some serious staying power. Sire won the Melbourne Cup at 2 miles.

f. Bellamy Road - Fusaichi Pegasus mare KY half sister to High Dollar Woman who won the G2 Indiana Oaks this year.

f. Badge of Silver - Indian Charlie mare ON This one was bred by Governor Brereton C. Jones who is pretty good at breeding fillies. Athletic.

f. Holy Roman Emperor - Galileo mare FR Selected at the Arqana sale by Criquette Head, who will also train. Great lady. A legend.

c. Elusive City - Anabaa Bleu mare FR Selected at the Arqana sale by Christophe Ferland. Looks like a sprinter. Built downhill.

f. Sun Goddess (f. A Little Warm) Sire won the Jim Dandy. Dam (Sarasota by Luhuk) produced Salutos Amigos and Sarah's Secret. She is a southern hemi 2yo (b. Oct 2013), based in Uruguay and trained by Pico Perdomo.

We are also pinhooking a beast of a Bodemeister yearling out of a Bernadini mare that was purchased at the Saratoga sale in August. NY-bred. We will try to sell him in the spring at the 2yo sales. If we don't get reserve, we will race for the NY-bred purse money. A couple shares available if anyone is interested (send me a PM).

Looking forward to an exciting 2016!

Cheers,

Otis
