Grade 3 Number 3 For Little Mike!

My main man Eddie got a call this week from Carlo Vaccarezza who is the breeder and part-owner of Little Mike. Mr. V was inquiring about sending a mare my way this season. (I'm hoping for two or three of those speed ball mares from Florida.) With the success of Little Mike, can you blame him?

What more can I say about Mikey? Three starts in Grade 3's at Gulfstream this meet with three wins after his latest wire-to-wire victory in the $100,000 Appleton Stakes at Gulfstream. Once again, an impressive 'catch-me-if-you-can' sub-1:33.00 mile performance. (By the way, Mikey kicked Barbaro's litte brother's butt, again.) In 9 turf starts, Little Mike now has 7 wins and a second with lifetime earnings of over $365,000. Mr. V, can you say Breeders Cup Mile?

While I'm at it, I also have to give some props to one of my five-year old daughters, Spanish Ambassador. On Saturday, March 26th, at Tampa Bay Downs, she took an allowance optional claiming field wire-to-wire in a 7 furlong dirt sprint. She had been knocking on the door of this allowance condition for the last few races, so it was good to see her set the fractions in getting this victory in 1:23.4. She's got 14 in the money finishes in her 26 starts.

Spanish Ambassador has a real Indiana feel to her pedigree. Bred by my main man Eddie, she is out of the mare Do I Make Ya Randi who is by Crown Ambassador. Now, I know there has to be quite a few Crown Ambassador mares out here in Indiana that I would be perfect for. The nick is fantastic with me and Storm Cat-line mares!!! The phone lines are now open!
