I wonder if they were wishing for a filly with all the sucess they
had with all the great fillies they have raced. Possibly another
future female turf star for Juddmonte Farms years from now.
Lets just hope she is like Mom

They are definitely getting a lot of fillies out of their top female runners, life will hopefully continue to be good for Juddmonte.

I'm excited for this year's freshman sires, the books of Empire Maker and Mineshaft were outstanding.

Intercontinental....beat Ouija Board straight up in the Breeders' Cup. Got to love her. Hope her baby is a chip off the old block. My only concern is that Empire Maker was pretty unsound during his very brief racing career. Hope he doesn't turn into another Pulpit turning out weak-legged specimens that are not durable.
