Down to just one…the newly acquired Casanova Hall.  I think that he makes his Stable debut this Friday in TSS at the Meadows.   Can’t wait for the fall yearling sales.

Did you sell the others?  Or were they sold away?

Good luck with Casanova Hall on Friday!  Sounds like a tough race to make his debut.

Do you buy yearlings?  Or, do you wait until they're two and you've gotten to watch them train?

I only own My Wicked Heart, she’s a tiny filly that tries hard ,but she just doesn’t have the talent, I was hoping she’d show a strong race at Clinton today but she just didn’t race well. She’ll sadly be gone soon, I suspect..

I just got started 3 months ago, but I hope to get in early with a yearling share immediately after purchase by TheStable.  Having never gone thru the process, I don’t know exactly what to expect as far as notifications from TheStable on potential prospects.

I am going to limit my interests to Ohio bred trotting fillies, so I can prepare my personal picks from the sales catalogs.  Keeping narrowed to one gait,gender,and jurisdiction will free my mind of clutter.  I guess where A Mac’s and my choices intersect will be my basis for buying share(s).  

I have a few pedigree requirements.  Whether they have any legitimacy is the question, but that will be half the fun.

Hoping that your horse's fortunes turn around quickly.

If he does get sold, will you buy another?

@bgtolex25:  We started at the same time.  In April 2024 we signed on and started making our first purchases.  Our first horse, I'm Fancy Like, made her first start on May 2nd.

As for yearling notifications, there's a place on https://www.thestable.ca website to get more information and to opt into notifications.  I highlighted the link below.  Click it, enter your email address, and opt in.

I'm not brave enough or smart enough to purchase shares in yearlings.  I've got to read, hear, the 2-year-old training reports, and watch the videos first.  I know I may lose out on some great horses by taking this approach, but I think (hope) that I am making more educated purchases.  Time will tell!

Good luck!!

Thx for the info.  I saw this but I wonder how much advanced intel that A Mac provides prior to the sale.  If it was me, then I would be coy about who I was interested.  So I think it will be fun to get my list together independently and see how much we match.  I guess that stems from my breeding farm history.  Awesome that we all have enthusiasm, even if it comes about via different route!

I don't consider Canadian racing horses for probably the same reason.  I am in New York, and while I am on the lookout for New York and New Jersey-bred horses, if I can't see them race (I have only twice so far.  I expect I'll see a lot more in person during Jug Week... I'll be there all week), at least I can watch the races live online.  

I have mostly Ohio-bred horses.  One Pennsylvannia, and one Indiana, though I expect that one will race in Ohio (according to Anthony, his first start for the Stable will be at Northport), or Kentucky.
