A Green Monkey-esque Filly to debut soon

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Patricia's Gem, who worked a blinkered furlong in 9 3/5ths over Keeneland's polytrack - and was caught galloping out a quarter mile in 20.21 seconds - at the KEE April 2yo under-tack show looks to be on-track for an Oak Tree debut.

After that quick polytrack work, the daughter of Mineshaft out of a Forty Niner mare sold for $1.75 million.

Her 2nd dam is the Del Mar Oaks winning turf specialist Stylish Star.

Patricia's Gem is believed to be in Dick Mandella's southern california barn, she worked 5 furlongs in 58 flat out of the gate at Santa Anita yesterday.

I'm a little interested in watching this one - I have a hard time imagining a Mineshaft filly being quick.

heck, i'd rather pay 16 mil for a daughter of mineshaft that 1.75 mil for a son of forestry, unless that son of forestry was named discreet cat.

Forest Danger was bought for 900K at the same sale as TGM....only three years earlier.

He is now standing stud - passing on his soundness and durability to the future generations.

I guess it's a good thing nobody paid $16 million for The Green Monkey.

Even at $8 million he was a colossal ripoff.

Not if they unloaded the thing at 15.5mil, the plan didn't work to good

And if the horse has Mineshaft's running style, she may not stop. Ever.

God I loved watching Mineshaft run.
I love that style. Efficiency. Head down. All business. No waste.

They do have her Drugs, and they say she is very, very nice. And worth every penny.

Jeez I go on vacation and they let her rip..........She is not typically the type of horse that they buy at the sales , she"s what I would call a fullfigured girl lol . When I have worked her I never let her reach top speed because she was a little fat , but I can tell you that the feeling she gives you when you are on her back is like driving a Porshe , she drops down when you push on the gas peddle and her 12 second 1/8ths feel like 14.
Also a side note , the track at Santa Anita is usually a few ticks faster down the backside and so its really not that hard to get a fast gate work , I wish I could have seen the work to see if she was being pushed or not. Oh well Ill be back to work on Monday so I guess Ill find out then .

I just hope she's as good as Booted.

I know I'm bringing up an old thread, but Patricia's Gem is set to debut on Saturday at Santa Anita at 6 furlongs. I would assume this would be too short for her, but I'm really excited. From what I could see in pics from the Keeneland sale, she's a beautiful filly.........Hope she runs well - it sounds like she's supposed to be the goods
