Trappe Shot Captures Four Consecutive Wins
by Ben Baugh
7/18/2010 - A colt who was attracting a lot of attention from a very young age is living up to his billing. Trappe Shot is more than just a well-balanced, correct looking individual. He's now a stakes winner who's reeled off four consecutive victories.
Cary and Tim Frommer consigned the chestnut colt as part of the Hobeau Farm dispersal at the 2009 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic two-year-olds-in-training sale. Trappe Shot, a son of Grade 1 winner Tapit and out of the Private Account broodmare Shopping, established a new auction record at the sale, selling for $850,000.

Dogwood May Run Three at Saratoga
by Ben Baugh
7/18/2010 - Dogwood Stable intends to make its presence felt at the upcoming Saratoga race meet which starts this week.
Grade 3 winner Lou Brissie will make his next start in the six-furlong Grade 2 Sanford on July 25. The son of Limehouse, the 2005 Aiken-trained Horse of the Year, is conditioned by Neil Howard and won the Grade 3 Kentucky Juvenile Stakes before placing second in his last start - the Grade 3 Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs on July 3.
"We're not looking to tackle that horse Kantharos (who finished 9-½ lengths in front of Lou Brissie in the Bashford Manor)," said Dogwood Stable president Cot Campbell in an interview on Thursday. "There's the possibility we might run a three-part entry in the Sanford - Lou Brissie, Blue Right By and Firepole. I think we'll save a horse for the Aug. 16 Saratoga Special."
The triumvirate of juvenile runners provides Dogwood Stable with a great deal of depth in its 2-year-old division...More |

The veteran campaigner uncoiled a powerful turn of foot coming from off the pace with a strong closing kick to place second by a neck Tuesday in the seventh running of the 1 1/16-mile Florence Henderson Stakes on the turf at Indiana Downs.
The daughter of Marshall Lamb's stallion is Sveikatis, who stands in Aiken at Lamb's Outaways Farm, won the 2009 Frances Slocum Stakes and placed second in the 2009 edition of the Florence Henderson Stakes.
Glenn Thompson and James Hackman's Two Notch Road placed fourth in the 1 1/4-mile Grade 2 Virginia Derby on the turf Saturday at Colonial Downs. The gelded son of Partner's Hero set the pace along the rail into the upper stretch before giving way to eventual winner Paddy O'Prado..More |
