  • Carroll Finds Success, Stability in New Role
    SUNDAY, 7 JANUARY 2018 CARROLL FINDS SUCCESS, THE EAGLE DIGS DEEP FOR THIRD L'ORMARINS QUEEN'S PLATE by Liesl King STABILITY IN NEW ROLE In front of a large blue-and-white attired crowd, Legal Eagle (SAf) (Greys Inn) produced probably the best and most heart stopping victory of his career to win the R1.5-million G1 WFA L'Ormarins Queen's Plate S. over 1600m at Kenilworth on Saturday. It was Legal Eagle's third straight victory in the race, and while their hearts may have been in their mouths, the crowd cheered their favourite home. The early part of the race was uneventful as Legal Eagle with Anton Marcus in the saddle, slotted in on the rail from barrier two. From barrier nine, Corne Orffer was forced to bring Captain America (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}) out wide, making his way around the field, before slipping in on the rail in front of Legal Eagle. Knowing Captain America is not blessed with a sprint finish, Orffer wasted no time idling in front and sent the strapping bay for home. With a quickly lengthening gap aided by an unusual tailwind, Anton Marcus had no choice but to give David Carroll | Coady photography chase and Legal Eagle was forced to dig deep as he chased down his old nemesis. By Bill Finley Racing for the first time in the yellow and purple silks of Braam His father, his brother and his nephew all turned out to be top van Huyssteen, William Henderson and Hedley McGrath, Legal riders, but David Carroll just wasn=t blessed with the jockey Eagle was closing the gap, but due to the fast pace, it was not as gene.

  • Pedigrees: a Practical Approach
    Pedigrees: A Practical Approach TOBA Pedigree & Conformation Clinic Saratoga Springs, NY Suzi Shoemaker, Lantern Hill Farm 1 Ordway Pampered Princess Dreaming of Anna Capt. Candyman Can Welcome to Saratoga and TOBA’s pedigree clinic. I’m Suzi Shoemaker, of Lantern Hill Farm in Midway, KY. This morning I’ll discuss current thoroughbred breeding trends and encourage you to use practical horsemanship in your pedigree evaluations for breeding or buying thoroughbreds. I’ve been privileged to make my living breeding and selling racing thoroughbreds since graduating college and moving to KY from upstate NY in 1978. Along the way I’ve bred, raised or sold the likes of Eclipse Champion Dreaming of Anna, as well as Grade 1 winners Capt. Candyman Can, Pampered Princess and Ordway. 2 Hepburn and HER SMILE (G-1) in 2008 I’ve also been fortunate to care for horses for some of the country’s leading race horse breeders, and benefitted from living with their mares and foals and seeing diverse breeding philosophies put to the test. The best recent example of that is Mr. William Backer’s mating of Include to Capote’s daughter Hepburn which produced 2011 Grade 1 Prioress Stakes winner Her Smile.
