5 for 14? What is the big deal?

Seriously though, damn shame. Nice horse.

Recently bought into a 2yo filly sired by Rip Van Winkle through TVI. Her name is Spanish Romance. She is out of a Mr. Prospector mare and won her first race by 5 lengths in France.

My wife and I are headed to Chantilly to watch her race on May 15th. Should be a very cool experience. Never been there.

Hoping that Spanish Romance continues to develop well and stays fit, but I'm obviously quite excited to be part of this one. RvW progeny seem to be very precocious and are running well over in Europe.

Also bought into a couple other European-based 2yo colts, a Lope de Vega and a Dream Ahead. They will take a little longer to reach the track.

Hoping one of these pops. But even if they don't, should be a fun ride!

Cheers,

Otis
