Congratulations to all the winners and all the runners on a very exciting Breeder’s Cup weekend!!!

This is the time of year when most quality racing stables, ourselves included, look to sell – retire our less productive runners to open up some space to purchase new horses in the coming year via claiming, private purchases, and at the two year old sales this winter. We are very pleased to have found good homes for several horses recently such as Giuliana Vee (read below), Rapstorerocks and Itsgottabemyway and now have our stable down to the seven runners detailed below. All of them have shown proven ability or in the case of younger horses, obvious potential. It’s been a great year for us on the racetrack and as 2020 winds down to a few final races we look forward to seeing these horses run for us next year as we add new horses-groups to the stable beginning in January or February. Hopefully we’ll have a couple more wins to add to our totals before the end of the year. Thanks to everyone for your support, we look forward to another very successful and fun year with you in 2021!

  • Adhwaa good out of her excellent, fast closing 2nd at Parx. Well back in the early going, she made a terrific late run to pass most of the field and was flying at the finish to be beaten just under a length for the. She picked up $6,000 and will earn several times that when she breaks her maiden, hopefully in her next couple of starts. Congratulations to the owners of Group #60!
  • Pango shipped to trainer Ron Spatz in Florida Friday morning and arrived safely today (see attached photo). One or two races at Gulfstream, a little R&R afterwards in Ocala, and point for another successful season with Mark Salvaggio at Penn next year. As soon as he’s had a little time to settle in we’ll look for a race for him.
  • We are so pleased that Giuliana Vee has been retired to such a wonderful home after a fine racing career for us. Co-Owner Mike Perullo, who named her, wrote this today…I first want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to name Giuliana Vee in the first place. Secondly, I want to thank you for your patience and the way you handled her and gave her an opportunity to be competitive. Winning her maiden race, coming from off the pace in a photo finish, is something I will never forget. Giuliana’s dad, upon hearing the news that she had been sold, emailed me this ‘Thanks Mike, it was a joy to be a part of it. Just hearing her name during a race was well worth it. Thank you for keeping our Giuliana in your heart. I guess this is a fitting day for this announcement’ (she had passed on Nov. 5,2014).

Laura Catlett, who purchased her sent us this…

Thank you Robb. I’m beyond excited to have her. Giuliana has been on my heart for a long time.

She will be in PA near Fair Hill to let down. She will go to Laura McKinney’s (Ann Merryman’s cousin) farm in Lexington to visit The Factor. Then she will come back to Maryland at Marathon Farm which is Peter Angelos’ farm. My broodmares live there. It is a spectacular farm. Krissy Close, who’s farm she will be at until February, manages my yearlings. She will send photos today or tomorrow when we get her settled in, and all along her journey. Giuliana will be loved and always have top notch care. I promise. Thank you again for trusting me with her. I’m so happy to have her. I’m going to spend the day with her tomorrow! Laura

  • Fire's Finale right on track for the Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes for Pa. bred 2 year olds at Parx on December 7th. After that we plan to send him down to Ocala for some richly deserved R&R. Timing should be perfect to have him ready for a big three year old season next year after a brief layoff.
  • Blu Candy is on track to make her debut well before the end of the year, perhaps even by the end of November.
  • Tracy Ann's Legacy is training nicely at Palm Meadows in Florida. We’re looking at various races for her later this month. 
  • Life On the Edge  enjoying a well-deserved bit of R&R at Sunset Meadow farm. She had 2 wins and two seconds for us this year, earning nearly $50,000. A little turnout while the weather is still good and back in training before the end of the year.
  • Seven Seven enjoying his R&R at Sunset Meadow farm also, all good.
  •  Lisa Limon and weanling by Liam’s Map both very well in Kentucky. Take a look at two great photos of Lisa in a beautiful paddock (attached), “enjoying the sun and growing her winter coat” (and clearly safely in foal again). Also a great walking video of our beautiful weanling taken November 3rd at Hidden Brook Farm on our Vimeo page.
