I'll try to be a little more forthcoming. I leave for Keeneland on Saturday...which is when Lady may race again...let's hope she has a better go this time out.

Good luck, Green Hills! She was certainly bred to be one fast filly.

Thanks. She is pretty fast. Her first race was a stinker...but sometimes that happens. We're just hoping she'll start to show what she's all about, soon.

What ever happend to Kristali et all. ????
Two step Kid?
The mare who lost her foal last year?

We sold Kristali (the airhead), Two Step Kid went back to England (we were leasing him) and Cassydora...well...she was well on her way...won two stakes (one a Grade 3) and was pointed to the Beaugay and the Diana when she was injured and now she is in foal to Hennessy...in fact she was just about the last mare bred to him in this country. We have a bunch of 2 and 3 year olds.

Coded Princess is retired and in foal to Smart Strike. Glaire has a Smart Strike colt and is in foal to Tale of the Cat.

Voodoo Dancer has an Unbridled's Song yearling colt (#227 at the Keeneland Sale) and a 2007 Giant's Causeway colt and she is currently in foal to Storm Cat.

Tale of a Lady is in the 5th race at Belmont on 9/8. She is running in a 2 year old maiden special weight race going 7 furlongs on the turf. She drew post position 4 out of 11 and will be ridden by John Velazquez.

Thanks. She was the highlight of our Keeneland trip last year.

She improved on her first outing by showing some good spped to the head of the stretch then faded....She'll be better next out...

Thanks...she still ran rather greenly...we keep forgetting, I think, that although she is physically super precocious...she is still a 2 year old...I think we will give her a little break and see from there where to try her.
