[PSH]

Back from a week in South Florida. Was able to experience Chuck's Aire Bueno win on Summit of Speed Day. By the way Xaverian didn't have the best of trips and might have been 2nd best. Then on Sunday the surreal experience of winning our first stakes race with Killer Bird winning the Barely Even stakes at 19-1 at the wire over the odds on fave. My first win photo in person! Didn't think she would get up after shifting out midstretch but she had another gear. Our $10,000 yearling beat a $1.2 million auction filly. The little guys won that round. On Monday Gelato Gal in her 4th start ran her first good race finishing 3rd and was probably 2nd best after some issues around the turn. She has talent and should improve going forward.
Saw our 3 two-year old colts at Palm Meadows for the first time. A Stay Thirsty colt is training well and working out on the turf. We paid $5,000 for him at OBS Spring and he might start around Labor Day. Susan has been riding him in the mornings. So far so good for him. And, our first two homebreds arrived just a few days ago from Ocala. Red Baroness and Angry Dragon unnamed colts both by Frost Giant and both NY Breds.
Thanks to Chuck, Susan jockey Matt and Team Simon for an incredible week.
Will be up in Saratoga Aug 12-14 and look forward to seeing those up there
