MADISON RAE (’21 f. Pavel / Taffeta) closed out her juvenile year by earning her first black-type honor with a win in Saturday’s Soviet Problem Stakes at Los Alamitos Race Course.

A $38,000 purchase by her conditioner, as agent, out of this year’s OBS April Sale, MADISON RAE has made 4 career starts for owners CYBT, RAFTER JR. RACING LLC, STD RACING STABLE and MICHAEL NENTWIG, winning twice and finishing third once. The newly crowned stakes- winner has earnings of $109,940.

“TODAY’S FLAVOR DOES IT HIS WAY IN NEW YORK”
(Read More...)

Sunday, Dec. 3:
REDDAM RACING LLC’s talented gelding TODAY’S FLAVOR (’18 Laoban / Evangelical) took down the 2023 running of the New York Stallion Series Stakes in splashy fashion Sunday at Aqueduct.
Breaking sharply from the eight-hole in a field of eight, TODAY’S FLAVOR wasted no time clearing the field and crossing over to the rail to set the early fractions. However, when challenged to a speed duel by another foe, jockey JAVIER CASTELLANO opted to relinquish the lead and sit patiently in second until turning into the stretch. He then tipped TODAY’S FLAVOR to the outside of the leader and drew off to a 3½ length score.
Handled masterfully by trainer GEORGE WEAVER, the five-year-old has won eight out of thirteen starts since joining the conditioner’s barn in the fall of 2022. Ten of those starts were made this year resulting in 6 trips to the winner’s circle. His lifetime record now stands at 16.8.3.0 with earnings of $545,080.
We wish this classy horse and all his connections the very best of luck in 2024!

Saturday, Dec. 2:
CHP RACING’s juvenile filly LADY DE BERRY (’21 Practical Joke / Tortuga Lady) faced off against nine other fillies Saturday at Del Mar in the Grade 3 ‘Jimmy Durante Stakes’ going 1 mile over a firm turf course. Content to settle at the back of the pack under jockey FLAVIEN PRAT, the filly angled out in the stretch to finish strongly, falling just a neck short of the victory. This impressive runner-up placing earns the CHAD BROWN trainee her first black type out of only three career starts.
Bred in Kentucky by PETER BLUM THOROUGHBREDS LLC, the daughter of Practical Joke was purchased by top bloodstock agent MIKE RYAN out of this year’s OBS March Sale. She has now tallied one win and one second from three starts and has earned $77,205.
Good luck to LADY DE BERRY and her connections in 2024!
