Site Update - Going on Pause

This site is being paused due to time constraints with managing both this and our Facebook group under the same name. It is not being archived at this time, and we will continue working to get the individual horse tabs (above) updated with added horses (it's currently lacking inclusion of several new additions) and info, workout data, and race results, but we will not be posting informational updates for the foreseeable future. Since Blogger is no longer letting us post photos for some unknown reason, and we can't seem to get or find any help with that issue, our option is to give our Facebook page the lion's share of our attention going forward. 

Thanks to those who have followed us through the last several years as our stable has grown and changed. 

A few highlights:

Having the 2024 Preakness winner, SEIZE THE GREY, trained by the legendary D. Wayne Lukas, was a lifelong dream come true, and we look forward to his success as a stallion--and one of the two G1 winning sons of ARROGATE standing in Kentucky. One of his first crop foals is ours--a lovely bay colt--also owned in partnership. He's now just over 5 months old and looking the part. 

In 2025, we had CALDERA on the Derby Trial, and except for an unfortunate stumble in the Louisiana Derby, we expect he would have got there. But sometimes things happen for a reason. We also were deeply saddened by the loss of Caldera's remarkable trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, in late June 2025. He gave us the dream, and will forever by missed. We also had the "Fastest distance filly in North America" with the amazing SEISMIC BEAUTY. Unfortunately, an awkward stumble out of the gate in the Breeders Cup fell brought her in short of our wishes for her and she has since been sold, but what a dream ride she gave us as our 110 Beyer, G1 stakes-winning superstar. 

In 2026 to date, CALDERA returned with a vengeance, this time trained by Saffie Joseph Jr., to win his first start as a 4YO convincingly, and then come back in his next start to set a NEW TRACK RECORD at Colonial Downs, barely out of a canter. We're so excited to see what's next for him. We also had a first ever experience when BACIO won big at Royal Ascot (UK) in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap, winning by major daylight with a performance that rivaled even the big group winners that week. His story is still unfolding, and we look forward to another amazing journey. 

We're now looking at the most outstanding group of up-and-coming 2YOs that we could have ever dreamed of being involved with, including Flightline, Practical Joke and Good Magic fillies, Epicenter, Jack Christopher, Constitution, Happy Saver and Tiz The Law colts, and a Good Magic x Puca potential legend of a colt. We're also looking forward to the continuing journey of some very nice 3YOs including BLACK TIE OPTIONAL (by Not This Time), MISSTRIAL (by Constitution), NATIVE BREW (by Yaupon) and others.   

We'll see what the good Lord blesses us with as 2026 continues on into 2027.

Thank you for following our posts and updates in the past. We'll try to post brief notices when we update information on this site going forward. 

Caldera — our Lukas Legacy - Returns Today at Gulfstream Park

This DRF article sums up our heartfelt feelings about our Liam’s Map colt formerly trained by D. Wayne Lukas. Caldera was his Derby hopeful last year, but didn’t earn the points due to an unfortunate series of mishaps in the Louisiana Derby. He is now in the very capable hands of amazing trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr.

UPDATE:

Caldera WON by several lengths. 

Great kickoff of his 4YO campaign. Can't wait to see where he goes from here. 

Site Notice

We’ve been unable to keep up with this site for the last several months, as is obvious by the lack of posts and updates. The inability to post photos here due to some unknown blogger issue has also created issues for us.

We’re going to change things up a bit and move toward recording individual horse info — such as works and starts —on their pages (shown above) and only create news posts when there are special achievements, articles or notable events. 

We may also revamp our Upcoming Races system by deleting the box at the top of the posts (which hasn’t been updated since last August), and simply create posts with upcoming race details for each week or selected time frame. 

Thanks for your patience. 

Seize The Grey Sires Colt

Seize The Grey had another foal arrive Sunday night (Feb 22, 2026). He’s a big bay out of Community Adjusted (Summer Front x Dynaformer). He was up within the hour, and both mare and foal are doing well. Nice shoulder on this guy and lots of leg. He’s special because we (the partnership) are owners/breeders of this guy. Looks like a keeper! 

(We regret we can no longer post photos here for some unknown reason.)

Introducing COMMUNITY ADJUSTED '26!

Our broodmare, Community Adjusted, foaled a big bay colt last night, February 22, 2026. He stood and nursed within the hour, and both mare and foal are doing well, so far.

"Dad" is our own Preakness winner, Seize The Grey (owned by a large partnership, now with Gainesway Farm as primary owner for his stallion career). He is a 2X Grade 1 winner (Preakness and Pennsylvania Derby), a Grade 2 winner (Pat Day Mile on the 2024 Kentucky Derby undercard), stakes placed, and the top earning son of the late, great Arrogate.

Mom is by Summer Front (War Front) out of a Dynaformer mare, and she is stakes placed, earning over $222K in her career. She was once trained by Christophe Clement (rest in peace). 

This boy looks to be sizable. We're not sure yet if he's showing indicators of going grey, but we'll keep watch for them. 

We'll post further updates as we receive them. 

Introducing CIRCE

Here's another recent addition to our partnership stable. We invested into this promising filly on 1/25/2026, and she has since SOLD OUT!

Circe is sired by GOOD MAGIC (Curlin x Glinda The Good by Hard Spun), who also sired DORNOCH, MAGE, and our own "Puca '24, as well as BLAZING SEVENS, MIXTO and many other stakes horses. 

Her dam is Carpe Fortuna by Carpe Diem (Giant's Causeway x Rebridled Dreams) out of Seeking Luck (Seeking The Gold x Lucky Soph). Her family has produced a number of stakes winners/placers including LUCKY PULPIT, TIME FOR GOLD, THETRAILERGUY and LUCKY SPELL (4th dam). LUCKY SPELL was also the granddam of UNBRIDLED'S SONG. 

Circe is currently in early training at Silverleaf Hills Training Center in Florida by the team of top trainer Kenny McPeek. She made a recent appearance at the MRH Ocala Showcase event, where a large group of partners got to view and "meet" her and several other youngsters. She is currently galloping daily and building the fitness prior to beginning her speed works later this spring.

[We apologize that Blogspot no longer allows us to post photos on our blog page so we can't share a photo of Circe at this time.]

Introducing START THE PARTY

 We've had some new additions in the last couple of weeks, so time to start the INTRODUCTIONS! 

First up: START THE PARTY. 

This 2YO son of Constitution (out of Confetti by Mendelssohn) is a handsome chestnut who is well started in his early training. 

He will be going to Wesley Ward, who also trains our Bacio who had a brilliant start as a 2YO last year (3 starts, 2 wins and 2nd in a stakes). 

Confetti is unraced but from the family of COVFEFE, FESTIVAL OF LIGHT, ACOMA and ARCH. Start The Party is anticipated to start in the Fall 2026 time frame.

We'll start a page for him above and flesh it out as time goes on.
