Default TDN: Team Valor buys Summer Soiree with Oaks in mind
War Front Filly Purchased by Team Valor for Oaks
from Thoroughbred Daily News

Summer Soiree (War Front), a 10 3/4-length winner of last Saturday's GIII Bourbonette Oaks at Turfway, has been purchased for an undisclosed sum by Team Valor International. The 3-year-old filly will be pointed to the May 6 GI Kentucky Oaks. Graham Motion, who trains all of Team Valor's North American stock, will receive the War Front filly Monday afternoon, after she is flown from Hot Springs, Arkansas to Lexington, Kentucky.

Guess Barry had some Gitano Hernando money to use.

I like Graham Motion but this was a classic Larry Jones move-up. Going to be VERY interesting to see if she holds together.

They better hope she doesn't become the pumpkin she was before Larry Jones trained her.

I wish I could book her purchase.

I guess he didn't learn after the brilliant Valiant Passion purchase from last Summer.

It was an easy buy for him however. Given that a Team Valor horse won the major colt stake at Turfway that day, and is now headed to the KY Derby, selling shares in this filly will be a piece of cake, as many of Animal Kingdom's owners will likely buy into her in order to have an Oaks filly as well. Plus, on paper at least, she looks great.

Obviously, you and I think it will prove a disasterously bad purchase.

The last horse my partnership owned was trained by GM. He is a super nice guy and a very good trainer. However, I wasn't really a fan of horses who trained at Fair Hill and it always seemed like he worked them to death rather than run them into shape. #FrustratingAndExpensive

I wish him the best with this filly.
