What they’re saying

“To get these younger fillies off to a strong start we are willing to invest in getting them to the best stallions out there. Runners are what improve the value of the mares, so while I'm excited to be a commercial breeder and seller. The real upside comes when they hit the racetrack as successful runners for their purchasers. That is my goal.”
