The Royal Duet - San Saria '21

We've had some developments with our Justify x San Saria filly. She is part of a package we just bought a share in called The Royal Duet, paired with a Cotai Glory colt. Here's an article that we recently posted on her profile page. You can find her profile under "The Royal Duet" tab at the top of the page.

Ward to Aim Justify Filly Toward Royal Ascot

She completed her first official work on March 9th (a day after we bought our share) and it was from the gate. She went 38.8 for 3f on dirt, and in company. 

Then she ran another unofficial gate work in company with two other horses with top jockey Joel Rosario up for this one. She's being aimed toward Royal Ascot and expected to start at Keeneland in about a month. Things are getting exciting for this half of our most recent acquisition--The Royal Duet. Fingers crossed no setbacks occur in the meantime.

Coexist Works at the Thoroughbred TC

Coexist continues to improve her speed during her weekly works, this morning running the 4th fastest time out of 14 works at four furlongs. 

Although the time may seem a little slow by some standards (48 seconds being considered a more optimum time), we've been informed this training track runs slower than many other training surfaces. For comparison, the top time was clocked at 49.00, only a second faster than her 50 flat.

We are more and more encouraged by each new work that she's on the road to a potential start in the near future, barring anything unforeseen (illness, injury, etc.) 

We're just so happy to see she's back in training and progressing with her works. It continues to be a long road back for her, but we are feeling positive about her progress to date.

Magical Ways Race on Friday

Magical Ways again had a great start to his race at Aqueduct today where he was stalking in 2nd place all the way into the first turn of the 7 furlong race, but when the point came where he needed to make a move to overtake the leader, he failed to mount a challenge, and instead let two other horses pass him by to finish fourth.

After remarks from the jockey, Magical Ways may possibly be looking at a surface change for his next race. Several partners observing the race commented that his knee action seemed to indicate he might fair better as a turf horse. 

We'll keep you posted on any further updates. Meanwhile enjoy these photos taken by a partner in attendance.

Mo Temptation Sent Back to Doug O'Neill Barn

Mo Temptation safely departed Kingfisher Farm this afternoon en route to San Luis Rey Downs. We'll keep you posted once she settles back into the Doug O'Neill barn. 

We're Back to Twelve

We're back to twelve partnership horses with the addition of Kindle '21, but in deference to Disdainful, we don't want to call this group the "Terrific Twelve" so we needed to come up with a different tag for our partnership stable roster.

After some thought, we decided on the "Tremendous Twelve."  

They are, in alphabetical order:

Coexist

Kindle '21 (now A Day To Remember)

Lady Blitz (formerly Patsy's Kim)

Magical Ways 

Mo Temptation

Pioneer Prince

One Last Night '21 (temporary tag)

Sarrocchi '21 (now Legitify)

Seize The Grey

Simply Enchanting (formerly Enchante '21)

Song of the Lark '21 (registered Fireball Birdie)

 

Introducing Kindle '21

We've added an exciting new prospect to our partnership stable after having the opportunity to see this big-framed boy in person at Ocala. We loved everything about this guy's professional manner, sturdy frame, and -- of course -- his spectacular pedigree. He's sired by Triple Crown winner and top young sire American Pharoah and out of a stakes-winning and stakes producing Indian Charlie mare. 

Kindle '21 seems to have inherited the no-nonsense temperament of his sire and stood out like a gem at the presentation! 

You can get more details on his page by clicking here: Kindle '21

Here are a few photos of him taken at the Ocala 2YO Presentation (photos not taken by us are noted in captions):
