What a sweet story with lots of nice photos by Barbara Livingston.

Was this the video you were looking at? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNxKkcwi_Mc I’m pretty sure that from when he’s a yearling. I think youtube might be goofing because the post date is 2016 but there’s comments from three years ago... 

I actually won’t be too surprised if breaks his maiden, especially if he gets more distance in his next race. He wasn’t that far behind Sonneteer and his final quarter was sub 24. 

I was surprised by Into Mischief too (linebreeding on Halo?), maybe they went with him because he’s half to Beholder?  Also just throwing out stallion ideas, but what about American Pharoah? He brings in two year old precocity and adds speed to Zenyatta. He’s also very moderate and balanced in his conformation, which is especially good imo given Zenyatta’s size. Not to mention that his calm temperament might help offset that Kris S nastiness, though if you get the Empire Maker temperament coming through that might backfire... That said I really hope she goes back to War Front at some point, and I’ve heard Kitten’s Joy nicks well with her so that could be a fun combo as well.

Cozmic One did some growing up! He gets up for 4th which after his last couple of starts before the break that’s an improvement.

Cozmic One came in fourth only beaten by a length by Sonneteer! And a very nice final quarter too :D

Coolmore shared some lovely pictures of the late, great Royal Delta’s filly with her foster mom. 

So sad her mom is gone, but glad the filly made it.

Lady Aurelia wins the Cartier Champion 2yo Filly Award!

The Cartier’s are Europe’s version of the Eclipse Awards, and Lady Aurelia is the first American-based horse to win one. 

The daughter of Scat Daddy and D’Wildcat Speed was a runaway winner of her debut on the dirt at Keeneland, then quickly took the show to Europe. For her encore, Lady Aurelia blew apart the Gr2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot by an unheard of (for Europe) 7 lengths. She then made a second trip, this time to France, where she was a solid winner of the Gr1 Prix Morny. Her final start of the year came in the Gr1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. She wasn’t able to win, but was a solid 3rd behind Brave Anna and Roly Poly. 

All in all, Lady Aurelia’s explosion onto the European scene was historic and at times breathtaking.

Gormley after his big win in the G1 Frontrunner

Not too often you see John Shrreffs (of Zenyatta fame) with a 2yr old debut winner let alone G1 winner. Gormley definitely defies the norm.

Well that was certainly an odd start to the Frontrunner...
