Thanks Old Dog! That race could not have gone any better for us.Can't wait to stretch her out.

Got to celebrate with some Warren Zevon and "Boom Boom Mancini". The only Youngstown song I know.

Cheers,

Otis

Thanks for note, Senator!

After placing third in the Windley Key Stakes, CFF fired a dud in her last race and We started looking for a little easier spot for her. As she has run through her conditions, we were fortunate to find a $46k AOC that allows her to compete without a tag.

She has an outside post which is good for 5f turf races at GP. And she gets Tyler on board, who probably gave her best ride so far (next to Prado) and is Ralph's go to jock.

Ralph gave her a sundial 3f work (22/23) inbwetween this race and her last one. That was intentional. We want her to go into this race fresh and hopefully give us one of her better efforts. Little different approach than before.

These 5f turf races are chaotic and unpredictable. So just hoping for the best!

I'm currently in South Africa where I was going to watch Madame Dubois run in the G2 Guineas. But we had a sudden opportunity to begin the quarantine process and ship her to America with a bunch of Mike DeKock's horses. Hoping she will be ready to run in some US G1 turf races in late 2016 or early 2017. It takes several months to clear quarantine.

Cheers!

Otis

Mistevious is entered in a $51k allowance at Parx on Saturday. Race 5. Only 6 entrants, headed by Pletcher stakes dropper Alto Belle.

We are are hoping for continued progression for this steadily developing filly. Based on the way she closed in her last race, she should appreciate the extra 2.5 furlongs.

Thanks very much, Senator!

I am flying into Philly tomorrow for the race, although I expect she will be a 10-1 shot at best against that TAP filly. She should like the extra distance, however.

Haven't seen Mistevious in the flesh in several months. She has come a long way since we bought her exactly one year ago at the FT sale. And always fun to spend some time with Nick Caruso, an excellent young trainer.

Cheers,

O
