fun with babies



T Street's Veiled Reference, a 2yo filly by Louis Quatorze out of the mare Bocamis, is moving along steadily in her preparation for a racing career. She's put on a good deal of body mass over these past few months and seems to be taking her training nicely. While just a medium sized filly, she's developed well on both ends, carries good flesh and muscle tone and still shows the great balance and lines that attracted us to her as a yearling. She's a West Virgina-bred filly, so we'll hope to have reason to ship in for some Rocky Mountain fun down the road (they have a pretty nice WVA state-bred program, plus good golf, hiking and whitewater rafting from what I've heard). For now, though, the goal is that she keeps up her good work in Ocala before shipping up to Fair Hill for her final preparation. That's her pictured from earlier this year.

Another good move from Fortuna this past weekend. She went 5/8ths in company (1.03) and did it well. We'll likely shop around for a spot sometime in the next few weeks. She'll be happy to be back on the turf.
