Forest Music was one of only two horses in history to ever to run a 20 and change quarter at the Fasig Tipton Calder sale. Tiz Wonderful (who broke his maiden by about 15 at Saratoga first-out) was the other.

Forest Music won her debut nicely with a 107 Beyer figure at LRL - and was rushed into the BC Juvenile fillies out west a few weeks later in start #2 and was eased. Ended up being a multiple Graded Stakes winning sprinter who would set strong paces and always stagger home.

Maclean's Music has no future as a distance horse ... but Distorted Humor to Forest Music ... you have to love that.

I happened to be at Laurel the day Forest Music broke her maiden. It was the most impressive maiden performance I've ever seen live. Save for an insane owner, her name could be much more well known.

This colt looked very good. High cruising speed, seemed well within himself. He might eventually get a mile, but probably no further.

FM is still a young broodmare, lets hope she produces a few more nice ones.
