Race Day, a gray colt by Tapit, won the Razorback Handicap at Oakland Park this past Saturday. May be a good older horse this year.

Frosted, gray colt by Tapit, won yesterday the Wood Memorial, GR I, becoming one of the favorites for the Kentucky Derby. He is such an imposing individual. Good luck to him and his connections.

Note that he is one of the last sons sired by Pulpit, and a 2012 K-P-B aspirant!
Note that he is a remote grey descendant of the esteemed
Argentinian sprinting family of the greys, Good Time and
his sire, Jerry Honor (imported in utero during the 1950s).

Hello, Jorge,
last Weekend the Turf season in Germany started.

At the Hoppegarten Racetrack (near Berlin) a maiden race for 3 year old fillies won a White filly named Kimberley's Dream (by Santiago - Highest Honor) and her 4th dam Kascha is by the White
Sire Pentathlon (by Ennis).

regards, Bettina

Second in the Illinois Derby and a respectable drive. Being by Curlin is a good plus.
