DM ran last in a disappointing effort in his most recent. He sat close early, but folded around the turn. He scoped clean, legs were clean and he'll come back on the class drop and stretchout.

Bella, our three-year-old Washington-bred filly is by Cahill Road, sire of the last two Longacres Mile winners, one of Washington's perennial leading sires and a full brother to Unbridled.

She's out of a stakes winning daughter of quality sire Silver Deputy.  The undefeated second dam produced four stakes horses. 

Bella finished third, but was moved up to second in her most recent start after the winner was brought down for interference. Bella was pinched back when the horse came over and ran widest of all on the turn. She closed ground down the stretch and missed by 1 1/2 lengths in a good effort.

Hunter won his last start. After breaking slow, he rushed up to force the pace, managed to outduel the pacesetter, opened up turning for home and drew away to win by two lengths.

Hunter suffered a knee injury since his last start and will be on the sidelines for a few months. We think he'll come back better than ever with fresh legs.

Trainingat the Bar is a five-year-old filly by Valid Wager out of the Marquetry mare Lady Lamar. We claimed her in April out of her turf debut, which she won impressively by 5 lengths going away. This lightly-raced and improving filly appears to have a very bright future.

TATB has been retired as a racehorse and is transitioning to a broodmare for us. She was a brilliant runner and should make a great addition to our broodmare band.

Our former HRC mare Southern Meeting's second foal is a beautiful two-year-old filly by Decarchy. Decarchy was California's leading sophomore sire last year and he's on a tear again this year with many solid winners. Southern Meeting is by General Meeting out of a stakes-winning dam. This little filly should grow up to be a runner.

This Cal-bred will be going through initial training early in 2010.

Daleo's Angel foaled an athletic filly by Rage (the foal at her side on photo) in 2008 and foaled a big, handsome colt by Gold Legend in March 2009.  She's being courted by Tactical Cat for her 2010 foal and has been declared in foal.

The first foal from HRC mare Daleo's Angel, this cute and bouncy filly is by Rage, a $180,000 stakes-placed son of Gulch. Royally-bred and a speedy sort who tore up New York in his heyday, Rage is by $3 million winner Gulch out of $822,948 GI stakes winner Waya.

Daleo's Angel is our young broodmare by classic winner and Champion Silver Charm. This gray mare is out of stakes-winning mare A Northern Angel out of a chef-de-race Sir Ivor mare. The second dam is a half-sister to $695,930 grade I winner At the Threshold and $510,675 grade II winner Zabaleta.

She'll be going through the initial training process at trainer Danny Pish's farm.

Royal Snowflight is a seven-year-old mare who won two stakes, the Ms Stakes and Lassie Stakes, at Portland Meadows. She's a big, strong and attractive mare who flashed good speed on the track. She's out of the mare Reasonably Royal, who was a $60,000 stakes winner herself.

Royal Snowflight is a full sister to Emerald Down allowance winner of $47,000 Easy Enough and $44,000 winner Plenty Easy.

The mare's foal is by Washington's Horse of the Year in 2004, Demon Warlock, a stakes winner of $278,000. A son of Demon's Begone, the sire of 18 stakes winners and with progeny earnings of $14 million, his first crop hits the ground this year.

Snowflight's 2009 died a few weeks after birth. She's been re-bred to Demon Warlock for a 2010 foal.

This tall and big boned colt was foaled March 9th, 2009. He's by former Washington Champion Demon Warlock out of our stakes-winning mare Royal Snowflight.

He's growing big and strong and has the look of a runner. He'll be in the barn of leading Emerald Downs trainer Tim McCanna.

This three-year-old California-bred colt is by Momentum, a $660,000 graded stakes winning son of Nureyez.  He's California's leading freshman sire and has two new track record setters in his first crop

He's out of a sharp winning daughter of millionaire Event of the Year.  This is the young mare's first foal.  Lots of stakes horses under the first two dams and three graded stakes horses under the third dam. 

Dance ran a super career debut at Del Mar, finishing second. He broke well, stalked the pace, rallied along the outside on the turn and just couldn't catch the odds-on winner.

Dance is back in training after recovering from a minor injury after his first race.

Two-year-old filly by Yankee Gentleman out of Cajun Flash, by Bertrando.

We were able to take advantage of the unique equine market to snatch up this absolutely stunning filly.  She's by the country's 11th ranked second crop sire Yankee Gentleman.  His yearlings averaged over $29,000 at sale last year as he sired four 2008 stakes winners including $708,616 Golden Yank. 

The filly is out of southern California allowance winner Cajun Flash, who won 3 of 4 on the track for $90,000.  She's by perennial leading California sire Bertrando. 

Our filly is a full sister to stakes placed Cajun Gent, an active campaigner with $89,620 in earnings and a half-sister to grade III stakes placed Snapshot, another current campaigner with earnings at $98,140.

The dam is a half-sister to $394,212 stakes winner Wild Lightning, the dam of two stakes winners, and is a full sister to $244,327 California stakes winner Lacquaria. The third dam is by chef-de-race sire Buckpasser and this family is loaded with quality black-type horses.

This well-put together filly has a big chest, large hind quarters and a wide jaw line.  A Kentucky-bred, she'll be broken and trained by Jennifer Bartholomew in Lexington. 

Two-year-old colt by Bandini  out of Toogoodtolose, by Silver Buck.

Our pinhooking group purchased this big, leggy yearling at Keeneland.  He's by $676,380 grade I winner and track record setter Bandini, who stands in Kentucky for $15,000.  Our colt is from his first crop.

He's out of an unraced daughter of Silver Buck, a grade I winner himself and sire of 40 stakes-winners including near Triple Crown winner Silver Charm.

The dam's other foal is a winner of 5 races in Mexico.  The dam is a half-sister to $623,090 grade II winner Whata Brainstorm. One of her other half-sisters produced graded stakes winners Ruler's Court, $235,900, and Wise River, $285,504 and other useful winners and stakes producers. The second dam is by chef-de-race sire Roberto and is a half sister to $564,950 grade I winner Journey at Sea.  There are many quality black-type winners in the family of this impressive looking Kentucky-bred son of major sire Bandini.

Bandit will be trained by Emerald Down's leading conditioner Tim McCanna.

No Caller ID is a three-year-old Pennsylvania-bred daughter of King of Scat out of Miss Speed Dial, by Is It True.

This mature and athletic filly is an eager trainer and likely to an early starter.  She's by a stakes winner son of Eastern Echo, sire of 8 stakes winners King of Scat. She's out of a winning daughter of Is It True.  Her second dam is a half sister to two stakes winners, including group winner Valuable Witness. The third dam is by legendary Northern Dancer. 

No Caller I D finished seventh in her career start. She blew the first turn and managed to stay in contention for 6 of the 8 furlongs before fading down the stretch.

This New York-bred three-year-old colt is by the state's top sire Freud.  A sire of five 2008 stakes winners, Freud is a full brother to top national sire Giant's Causeway.  Freud's yearlings averaged over $30,000 at sale last year.

Jake is out of an unraced Cryptoclearance mare.  Cryptoclearance is a grade I winner and grade I sire.  The dam has produced three New York winners, including current campaigners including $60,000 winner Waltz to the Blues and a 2008 MSW winner at Aqueduct. 

The bottom side of this pedigree is highlighted by the third dam, a Storm Bird mare (sire of Storm Cat) who produced a nice stakes winner and a stakes producer and the fourth dam, by chef-de-race sire Round Table. This dam has produced 12 graded stakes horses including three-time national Champion Tosmah and leading national sire Halo.

Jake is being trained by veteran conditioner Del Carroll. 

Our Silver Charm mare, Daleo's Angel, foaled a big, handsome colt by Gold Legend in March, 2009. 

Gold Legend is by Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew out of Champion Gold Beauty.  He's been one of Texas' leading sires for years.  Our colt is big, well-boned dark brown colt who will likely turn gray like his dam.

Top to bottom, this colt comes from a great family and we have high hopes for him.

Our stakes winning mare Go Girl Gone foaled a beautiful Demon Warlock colt in late March 2009. 

Stakes winner Demon Warlock was a Washington Champion and son of Demons Begone.  His first foals are yearlings.  If looks count for anything, they'll be runners.  The mare will be returning to Demon Warlock.

Seven Demons will spend most of 2010 enjoying time in the pasture at Warlock Stables.

We just bought an interest in this well-bred Salt Lake filly. She's a three-year-old Cal-bred by grade I stakes winner of $536,218 Salt Lake.  He's the sire of at least 62 stakes winners and progeny over $50 million in earnings. 

The filly is out of winning Devil's Bag mare and is a half-sister to $152,730 stakes winner Bid's Femme and $101,741 winner Tallulah Darling. This is the family of graded stakes horses Christian Soldier, Foretake and No Bend.

The filly is back in training at Running Luck Ranch. When she's ready for the racetrack, she'll be heading to the barn of Jeff Bonde.

We're thrilled to have Maxie back in the HRC stable.  We bought her as a yearling and raced her until claimed away from us as a three-year-old.  As a two-year-old, she won her first three starts for us, including a nice open Allowance score at Emerald Downs.  She completed her racing career with a stakes placing at Portland Meadows before retiring. 

She's in foal to Washington's reigning top sire three years running, Matty G.  A grade I stakes winner, Matty G won over $440,000 on the track and at stud has sired many stakes winners including millionaire My Cousin Matt.  As both Maxie and the Matty G were their best at two, we're hopeful the resulting foal will capture this lightning in a bottle.

We obtained this filly courtesy of Allaire Farms, who were gracious enough to help us out when our Demon Warlock-Royal Snowflight filly passed away prematurely.

This filly is also by $278,000 stakes winner and Washington Champion Demon Warlock out of stakes winner Sendie's Value. Our filly is a half-sister to Washington two-year-old Champion Casino Lights from a family full of local stakes horses.

Demonaire will spend most of 2010 enjoying time in the pasture at Warlock Stables.

This four-year-old California-bred filly is by graded stakes winner Popular out of stakes winner Noruega, by Dance In Time. She was purchased privately after her first four good races in southern California, where she won two of four including an Allowance score.

Popular Date ran 9th in the $50,000 Federal Way Handicap in her HRC debut. We suspect her recent long haul from Santa Anita to Emerald Downs may have played a part in her disappointing effort.

A couple minor issues popped up after the race that likely contributed to her effort, as well. We gave her a couple months off and she's recently retuned to training back in California for her return early in 2010 under the direction of trainer Jeff Bonde.

White Thunder is a three-year-old New York-bred colt by Wiseman's Ferry out of a winning Pentelicus mare.

Thunder ran fourth in his last start, his second with lasix and blinkers. He stumbled a bit at the start, raced between horses around the turn and passed a few down the lane in another improved effort.

Huntersrunaway is a four-year-old Texas-bred son of Hollycombe out of the Runaway Groom mare Runaway Nancy.

As a rapidly improving three-year-old on the Texas racing circuit, we recently purchased a stake in Hunter through his owner/trainer Danny Pish, one of the top conditioners in the region.

Hunter loves to route and has a great record going long, including a recent fast closing second place finish in the $125,000 Texas Stallion Stakes.

After three straight wins, Hunter ran third in his last start against tough, open Allowance company on the grass at Houston.

He sat a few lengths off the pace, took the lead briefly turning for home but couldn't hold off the top two.

He'll either come back on short rest in a state-bred Stakes or open Allowance company.

Siberian Empress is a five-year-old filly by Siberian Pine, a stakes producing son of Nijinsky II.  The filly is out of Deftly's Reality, a stakes-winning daughter of Gold Crest, a grade I stakes sire.  The mare is a half-sister to four $100,000-plus winners and from a very productive family of eight graded stakes winners including Prenup, Giant Wrecker and Yonaguska.

She's in the barn of trainer Shannon Hastings in Texas.

After a string of good efforts against tough company, we've retired Siberian Empress this breeding season due to continued knee soreness.

She'll be bred to a well-bred son of Thunder Gulch for a 2011 foal.

Seven-year-old California-bred gelding by High Brite out of Bobbie Jane, by Moscow Ballet.

Bobby is a classy, older horse who has won some good races in his time. He loves the synthetics, likes turf racing, but despises dirt surfaces, finishing off the board in his last 5 dirt tries.

Bobby won his most recent start at Golden Gate going 5 1/2 furlongs. He sat second early, made the lead on the turn for home, was headed in mid-stretch, but re-rallied to win by a half-length in a gutsy effort.

Three-year-old Kentucky-bred filly by Consolidator out of Grand Prix, by AP Indy.

This filly is by grade I stakes winner Consolidator, ranked among the country's top 10 freshman sires and standing in Kentucky with a stud fee of $15,000. She's out of a winning AP Indy mare, who is a half-sister to two graded stakes horses.

This filly is in the early stages of training with Shane Seaton in Oklahoma.

We purchased this good looking California-bred two-year-old filly at the CTBA sale and we got a steal. She's by grade II stakes winner of $636,707 Benchmark, one of California's leading sires. He's sired 14 stakes winners, including millionaires Brother Derek and Idiot Proof. The filly is out of Creole Delights, by Bertrando.

While Benchmark is a solid and attractive sire and the Nick rating on the filly is A+, it was the female side of the family and the filly's good looks that really caught our attention. The mare ran just three times in southern California Maiden Special company and was third in her second start. We suspect she suffered a career-ending injury in her third start. She is a full-sister to California stakes winner of $244,327 Lacquaria and a half-sister to $394,212 stakes winner Wild Lightning and $60,939 stakes winner Minnetonka Mist, who is also by Benchmark. Interestingly, the catalog was printed just before her other full-sister, Cajun Flash, had her top two offspring earn stakes placings, including grade III Snapshot. Our filly is from the immediate family of grade I stakes winners Sewickley ($1,017,517), Cash Run ($924,201) and Shared Interest ($667,610).

The filly is very well balanced, poised and confident. She's got big feet, which indicates she's got another growth spurt coming, too. She'll be going to the barn of Ed Moger after initial breaking and training at Green Valley Training Center.

We purchased this three-year-old Texas-bred colt privately. He's by a son of Storm Cat, Karen's Cat out of a Hawk Attack mare from the immediate family of grade I winners JO Tobin and Mysterious.

This big, lanky chestnut has a good way of going and appears to have a bright future. He's in the barn of Shannon Hastings.

The colt ran last in his most recent start off a three month layoff. Going just 4 1/2 furlongs, he was outrun early, lost a bunch of ground on the turn and just couldn't get on track at the abbreviated distance after breaking his maiden going long in his previous effort.

This good looking two-year-old colt by Mayakovsky is a Massachusetts-bred.

The colt is by a lightning fast grade III stakes winner out of a winning Pentelicus mare, who is a half-sister to two good stakes horses and another $123,000 winner. The colt is a half-brother to our own White Thunder. There are no less than 10 graded stakes horses under the first three dams of this family.

We're undecided on whose barn he'll go to after initial breaking and training. He will be pointed towards racing at Suffolk Downs, though, to participate in the lucrative state-bred program.

This big, strong yearling colt is by grade II stakes winner of $658,794 Trail City. After producing a couple of promising crops with several good stakes horses, Trail City died prematurely. His average per start compares favorably to Washington's top sires.

He's out of $84,635 winner Sentimental Secret, by graded stakes winner Maudlin. She's produced a good winner of $38,202 in 8 starts with Potluck Prize.

This colt is at Allaire Farms in Poulsbo, Washington, and will still stay there until he's broken as a yearling in the fall of 2010.

This three-year-old Kentucky-bred filly is by grade II stakes winner of $654,681 Successful Appeal. He was the country's Champion freshman sire and now the country's 68th ranked leading sire with 9 2009 stakes winners to his credit.

She's out of Emerald Downs stakes winner of $61,038 Strong Credentials and is a half-sister to stakes-placed Restless Missile. The second dam is a $205,237 stakes winner by Vice Regent.

AR was purchased privately shortly after her second juvenile start. She won her first race in Maiden Special Weight company at Golden Gate and after more than four months off, ran fourth after leading in her second start.

She's now turned out for the winter to grow and mature, although she's already a good sized and impressive looking specimen. She'll return to training in February for racing at Emerald Downs.

A five-year-old Kentucky-bred, Digital Magic is by grade I winner Grand Slam out of stakes-placed Beautiful Moment.

Grand Slam is an international stallion with over 90 stakes horses and $41 million dollars in progeny earnings, including three millionaires.

The filly is a half-sister to Santa Anita stakes placed Saturday Hero and Belmont Park stakes placed Beautiful Treasure. Magic's first dam is a $33,430 Hollywood Park stakes placed mare. The first dam is a half-sister to $456,390 graded stakes winner Bidder Proud. The second dam is a half-sister to grade II stakes winner of $375,267 Roving Minstrel.

Digital Magic was a $200,000 purchase at the September 2006 Kentucky yearling sale.

Magic ran a monster race in her most recent start, romping to an 8 1/2 length score at Houston. Under a sharp ride by Paul Nolan, she sat third early, swung around the leaders on the turn for home and pulled away as much the best.

Our Illinois-bred two-year-old colt is by Tenpins.  Tenpins won 9 of 17 and missed the board only 3 times while racing at ages 3-6.  His best race was in setting the new track record in the grade II 1 1/8 mile Washington Park Handicap.  He earned over $1.1 million his his racing career.  He is by two-time leading national sire Smart Strike (sire of Curlin and six other millionaires) out of a four-time stakes producer.    As a sire, Tenpins is one of country's better second-crop sires.  He's sired 12 stakes horses already, including five current 2 YO stakes horses.  He stands in Kentucky for $6,500 stud fee.  

The colt is out of a mare named St Chapelle, a winner of $25,000. She's by European Champion Horse of the Year St Jovite, who won the Irish Derby, one of Europe's Classics.  As a producer, her first foal is Have Faith, a filly by Royal Academy who is approaching $90,000 in earnings and still running in Allowance level company on the Illinois circuit.  Her three-year-old, Glory Belle, by Honour and Glory, is also running in Allowance company with earnings near $50,000 in just 7 starts.  Neither of these two have run for a tag.  

The second dam is grade III winner of $850,00 Bungalow.  She was an incredible race mare and is a good producer with stakes-placed winner of $162,000 Cottage Rose highlighting her offspring.   The third dam, stakes-placed winner of $115,000 Western Hope, produced grade I winner and millionaire Western Playboy and is a half-sister to three other stakes horses.  This is a very strong family with an A+ Nick rating for the match.

The colt will be in the barn of Brian Williamson, one of the leading trainers in Illinois.

Big Code is a Florida-bred two-year-old colt by graded stakes winner Omega Code out of a full-sister a $254,147 black-type mare and half-sister to a $231,400 winner out of a $272,582 stakes-winning mare.

This big, handsome colt has the look of a winner and we're anxious for him to get started.

The colt will be in the barn of Dave Vivian.

This big, attractive Badge of Silver yearling colt was purchased by our 2009-10 pinhooking group for re-sale later this year.
