Sunday June 11: Marking just her third career start, MOMENT TO SHINE” (’20 f. Bolt d’Oro / Moment of Speight) found her way to the winner’s circle Sunday. Going 5 furlongs over a good Hawthorne turf course, the bay filly stalked the pace before making a ground-saving move along the rail to take control and finish 1 ¼ lengths the best at the wire.

Owned by PATRICIA’S HOPE, LLC and trained by LARRY RIVELLI,  MOMENT TO SHINE was purchased by her owner for $290,000 at last years OBS March Sale of Two-Year-Olds-In-Training. The filly hails from the family of two-time Eclipse-winning Turf sprinter G1 STORMY LIBERAL and GSW LEINSTER, also a turf sprint specialist. Both horses are also Wavertree Stables graduates.

Shine on !

Sunday June 11: Wavertree Stables graduates ADMIDST WAVES (’21 f. Midshipman / Troublesome) and KODIAC WINTERGREEN (’21 f. Kodiac(GB) / Humble And Proud(IRE) scored the exacta in Belmont’s 7^th race Sunday, a maiden special weight event for two-year-old fillies going five furlongs over a firm turf course.

The winner AMIDST WAVES was making her second start having run fourth on May 4^th at Gulfstream Park. Going into the gate Sunday as the second longest shot in the field of eight, the chestnut broke fourth, sat just off the pace, swung out into the five-path through the stretch to draw away and score a 3 3/4 -length victory over fellow Wavertree grad and first-time starter KODIAC WINTERGREEN(IRE).

The winner was a $100,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase. Owned by DEW SWEEPERS racing partnership and trained by GEORGE WEAVER, AMIDST WAVES was ridden to victory by ERIC CANCEL. She has banked $51,500.

Runner-up KODIAC WINTERGREEN(IRE) races for Houston Astro’s third-baseman Alex Bregman’s BREGMAN FAMILY RACING, LLC. The daughter of Kodiac(GB) was purchased on behalf of her owners by agent MIKE AKERS at last year’s GOFFS ORBY Yearling Sale for $153,486. The promising juvenile is a half sister to the globe-trotting Grade 1-winner GLORIOUS EMPIRE(IRE) and to stakes-winner LOVE REIGNS. She is trained by GEORGE R. “RUSTY” ARNOLD II.

We wish both fillies and their connections much continued success!

Friday, May 19, 2023: FLURRY RACING STABLES, LLC’s multiple Graded Stakes winning filly INTERSTATEDAYDREAM (’19 f. Classic Empire / Babcock) set the pace then fought off a stretch-long challenge to win Pimlico’s Allaire DuPont Distaff Stakes by half a length on Black Eyed Susan day. Given a masterful ride by FLORENT GEROUX, the BRAD COX trainee was sent off as the prohibitive favorite in a field of six going a mile and an eight over a fast dirt track.

Congratulations to INTERSTATEDAYDREAM’s owners who purchased her for $175,000 at the 2021 OBS April Sale. The filly has repaid her connections by racking up a record of 10-5-2-2, including a pair of Graded Stakes wins, for earnings of $604,069.

Keep up the good work !

Saturday, May 13, 2023: RNA’d for $335,000 just two weeks prior at the OBS April Spring Sale. NO NAY METS (IRE) (’21 c. No Nay Never / Etoile) wasted no time proving himself to be race-ready when he won his first career start in Gulfstream Park’s Royal Palm Juvenile Stakes. Opting to keep their talented colt, Houston Astros third-baseman ALEX BREGMAN & his BREGMAN FAMILY RACING not only got to experience the thrill of victory Saturday, but now get to plan their trip to Royal Ascot as the win in the $100,000 race secured NO NAY METS (IRE) a $25,000 stipend to travel to and compete at the prestigious race meet.

Bumped leaving the gate, jockey LUCA PANICI allowed the colt to regain his action and at the three-eights pole had NO NAY METS (IRE) on the lead and in control, running on to win by 3 ½ lengths over their nine rivals. Trainer GEORGE WEAVER would be given another Royal Ascot opportunity later in the afternoon as his two-year-old charge CRIMSON ADVOCATE would wire the field in the Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies Stakes. Agent MIKE AKERS, acting on behalf of BREGMAN FAMILY RACING secured the colt at last year’s Arqana August yearling sale.

Best of luck to NO NAY METS (IRE) and all of his connections. Time to get those top hats!

Saturday, May 13, 2023: CRIMSON ADVOCATE (’21 f. Nyquist / Citizen Advocate) picked up not only her first black-type win but also a $25,000 stipend to travel to and compete at this summer’s Royal Ascot meet when she won Gulfstream Park’s Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies Stakes Saturday. Making her second career start after a promising third place finish first time out at Keeneland, the chestnut filly broke on top and never looked back as she wired a field of 10 other two-year-old fillies going five furlongs over a firm turf course. She was piloted by jockey EDWIN GONZALEZ for trainer GEORGE WEAVER and the ownership group of R.A. HILL STABLES, SWINBANK STABLES, BLACKTYPE THOROUGHBREDS, RAP RACING, CHRIS MARA, BLACKRIDGE STABLES & AMY E. DUNNE.

We’d like to wish this talented filly and her connections all the best and safe travels to the Royal Ascot!
