Irish Winner For Scat Daddy

Scat Daddy posted his sixth first crop winner when promising colt Daddy Long Legs saluted at Gowran Park in Ireland.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, Daddy Long Legs was allowed to get into his stride out and then found the line strongly to win the seven furlong maiden by a length and a half.

A $100,000 purchase from the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July Sale, Daddy Long Legs runs for Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Susan Magnier.

He is a half-brother to stakes-winner Tres Dream and is one of six winners from the stakes-winning Meadowlake mare Dreamy Maiden.

Scat Daddy is currently the second leading sire on the 2011 Freshman Sire List .
Our mare, Weatheringthestorm is currently in foal to Scat Daddy on a late March cover. We are offering Weatheringthestorm as a breed to sell partnership and we currently only have one 20% share remaining. If you are interested in participating in this partnership and would like more information, please contact me.

Thank you,

Above The Beyond Works Second Three Quarters Of A Mile

Above The Beyond worked his second three quarters of a mile on Saturday, covering the distance in 1:17 flat with veteran rider Vernon Bush in the saddle. The first three eighths of the workout went easily, with the duo picking up the pace as they hit the quarter pole. They finished up the last quarter of a mile strong, and galloped out past the finish line another quarter of a mile. Above The Beyond did get quite tired from his effort, drinking over half a bucket of water. He did cool out very well, though, with no signs of cramping. Vernon Bush, who was subbing for rider Angel Vasquez, was extremely pleased with the workout and commented that he would be very interested in riding Above The Beyond.

Above The Beyond will return to galloping this week and will visit the gate on Tuesday. If all goes according to plan, he will work another three quarters of a mile this Saturday.

Above The Beyond Works Second Five Eighths From The Gate

Above The Beyond worked another solid five eighths from the gate this past Saturday morning at Suffolk Downs. Veteran jockey Angel Vasquez was once again aboard for the workout and they covered the distance in 1:03 2/5 seconds, which was third best out of six horses that worked the distance on that day. He galloped out past three quarters of a mile. The track was quite deep after three days of extremely hot and sunny weather.

Above The Beyond walked right into the gate, followed by his workmate to his right. When the gates opened, his workmate bore out badly, nearly hitting the outside rail. Although Above The Beyond did notice the antics of his workmate, he kept is mind on the business at hand. His first three eighths was recorded at an easy and steady pace. As he passed the three eighths pole, Mr. Vasquez asked Above The Beyond to pick up the pace. With a sixteenth of a mile remaining, a loose horse near the finish line caught both horse and rider's attention. The workout was completed without incident, although the final sixteenth of a mile could have been travelled a bit quicker.

Above The Beyond cooled out in good order and has since returned to training. If all goes according to plan, he will work three quarters of a mile this Saturday.
