I am guessing she won't be in Fawkes barn much longer, a possible Oaks contender after today's performance

She sure looked nice under wraps. Granted, she beat nothing, but I like how she turned back the horses approaching the turn.

How do all those who payed $350K PLUS for their Distorted Humors feel right about now?

There is zero shot she will be sold.

Probably pretty good. Why would they feel bad?

I saw a bad Distorted Humor maiden run at Oaklawn a couple days ago.

It's a Lukas trained horse owned by Tabor and Magnier that sold for 650K as a yearling and just 290K at the KEE April 2yo sale.

Seems like a pinhook gone wrong .. and that was in a much more seller friendly 2yo market last year.

They must have had their minds on a future race, because Coa was trying to pull her up ten feet past the wire. There was no gallop-out at all.

They will change trainers to Katherine Ball. Same trainer as Parade Clown. She is the daughterlaw of Don & Mira Ball's who owns Donamire Farms. They want to win the Derby and Oaks and would not sell their horses. The Donamire Farms owners use David Fawkes when they are not running in Kentucky. Mira Ball, of Lexington, is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Ball Homes. They would rather win horse races then sell their horses. They are the breeders

They bought that horse for 130k so I don't think they were the breeders.

Fawkes has a monster on his hands in my opinion, she will be damn competive in the Bonnie Miss if they go there with her

Sorry for the bad info on the breeder. I saw that Katherine G. Ball owns the horse. I believe they own Parade Clown, Gatorette and Walloon. They were the Breeder on Walloon who won the Vandale Stakes on Feb21 at Turfway. The Breeder on Gatorette was Town & Country Farms, Corp. Thanks for correcting me. I do not want bad info on the site. Thanks
