By Reel Buddy x Gentle Genius (Danehill)


Trainer's Notes: Looks like she may have been run long. She's done well and should bounce back in sprints.


Owner's Notes: Third purchase from Hutton's; the other two are winners let's make it 3 for 3.


Bloodstock Notes: Very nicely bred. Only one in PF from this cross; in fact, only one from either parent. Under represented family with many nice runners. Tailline: 1-e Prunella, haplotype H; includes Blenheim and 1934 Coronation Cup winner King Salmon (IRE), Rachel Alexandra (1-o), War Relic (1-o), 1868 Ascot Gold Cup winner Blue Gown (GB) (1-o), 1959 Belmont Stakes and Horse of the Year (USA) winner Sword Dancer (1-o), Dr. Fager (1-r), Genuine Risk (1-n), and Swale (1-n). Family 1-e also includes decendants of La Troienne (1-x) (such as Marscay's Princess).

I expected more, but this is okay considering Flawless Tower and River Camena. Time off then back late spring. PSR=64, career high.
