3 Stakes Winners in 1 Week for Graeme Hall
01/11/10
The previous news entry on this site stated that Graeme Hall had started 2010 off with a bang when Poovey won The Sleigh Ride Stakes on January 4th. Just a few days later, Graeme Hall continued the fireworks by having back-to-back stakes winners on the 9th and 10th of January. On the 9th, Heiligbrodt Racing Stables' Hallway, a 6-year old horse bred by Brett Marti's Majestic Farm's LLC, won the Dixie Poker Ace Stakes for trainer Steve Assmussen. Hallway is out of the Runaway Groom mare Silver Bride. The next day, Iowa Derby winner Duke of Mischief, a 4-year old colt bred by Marilyn McMaster out of the Real Courage mare My Lady Amelia, made a thrilling run to defeat a field that included some formidable competitors in the Ft. Lauderdale Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park. Duke of Mischief is owned by his breeder and a partnership that includes the colt's trainer David Fawkes and Alex and Joann Lieblong. Graeme Hall has indeed started off 2010 with a bang with three stakes winners in just one week of January.
Standing for only $5,000 in Florida, breeding to Graeme Hall just makes good sense.
