FINALLY!
I am delighted to let Dee Tee partners know that after all kinds of attempts, the proceeds from the claim of Proudly Irish on 12/18/10 has produced the acquisition of
KEE September Yearling Sale Hip 2154, a petite bay filly by Langfuhr..
Instantly notable on her page is that her 2nd dam, Lady Blackfoot, produced the outstanding $1.5 million earning MG1W Labeeb. Trained by Neil Drysdale for Sh. Mohammed, Labeeb won the 1996 G1 Shoemaker Mile, 1996 G1-C Woodbine Mile, 1995 G1 Hollywood Derby and was 3rd behind Da Hoss in that one's initial BC Mile win in 1996.
Purchased privately from Vinery Sales, the filly will travel in the next 48 hours to Woody Payne at Ingleside Training Center in Montpelier Station, VA. She will ultimately be joined by Sumwonlovesyou's yearling Purim filly and go to Chuck next summer.
I appreciate everyone's patience as we tried to make the most of what we had to spend out of the claim of Proudly Irish. We believed it made more sense to find an opportunity with a "new" horse -- a 2yo in training or as it turned out this yearling -- than taking someone else's second hand claimer for $5k. We now have something fresh we can develop on our own.
Chuck & Steve
