However, it's not the kinda tired from running a mile and a quarter in a Grade 1. That's what one of my four-year old son's did today, El Suri (out of Victoria's Wedding by Summer Squall). El Suri finished 3rd today at Camarero Race Track in Puerto Rico in the Grade 1 Clasico Jose Celso Barbosa S. According to Zman (Zavata), that name actually translates to English to Jose Celso's Classic Barber Shop. What a joker. Hello, I know Spanish!
What was even more interesting was that also competing in this Grade 1 was two of my other son's; five-year old Gato Paso (out of Darn That Cat by Darn That Alarm) who finished 4th and three-year old Spanish Ridge (out of D's Secret Code by Lost Code) who finished 8th. These three have really made me proud. In fact, in one of the stakes prep races for this Grade 1 back in June, these three swept the top three positions with Spanish Ridge winning, El Suri second, and Gato Paso 3rd. The date of this Spanish Step sweep, June 19, 2011 which was Father's Day! What a present that was!!!
Anyway, my blog is going to take a few months off. Check back in the fall to see more from your favorite stallion, and the only Indiana stallion with his own blog.
Until then, check out one of my goofy 2011 sons pretending that he is the horse on the Breeder's Cup Trophies:
My kids are talented off the track too!
