I bought this very beautiful daughter of Istan at Fasig February for literally pennies on the dollar (paid $1400 for a filly that sold as a yearling for $140K). Her barn name is Penny anyhow after months of work on her physical issues including growing new feet she won her third start for me last Sunday at Ellis Park, the 4th race. I love her lots!
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
Re: Witticism
Wonderful...and great name!

Congratulations. Looks like she is figuring things out (with your help). Best of luck with her in the future.

Congrats!
Re: Witticism
Great success story, @madelyn. Can you share what went on between July 2015 and February 2017 that saw her auction value plummet?
Hoping to read many more "win" updates for Penny--an appropriately witty barn name.

Re: Witticism
All I know about that time is she was in training in Ocala.

Re: Witticism
My lovely Penny ran a very game race on Friday at Indiana with a blistering pace on rock hard turf she was 3rd only 2-1/2 lengths back. A very stirring home stretch run! NW2 is infinitely harder than maiden since maybe 50-60% of the horses in maiden races may just NEVER win.....

Madelyn:
The replay showed a nice effort. I think she's got some more wins in her future.

Re: Witticism
Thanks. I think so too. I turned her out in my paddock for a few afternoons after the race; today she was a monster on the shank. Time to go back to training tomorrow and look for another race!

Re: Witticism
Awesome, Madelyn!! And I agree, I love her name!
Wishing you both continued success!

Re: Witticism
I somehow missed this thread until now. Congrats on what sounds like a wonderful buy and on the win and strong follow-up effort.
Wishing all the best for her next start. LOVE her name!

Re: Witticism
Thanks Laurie; she would have been a GREAT buy just as a broodmare prospect she is a really beautiful filly. I analyzed the information on her physical issues and figured they were not show-stoppers and I could deal with them and so now here we are with a 4th, 5th, win and 2nd in four starts. Looking for a start mid September. I might wait for the one turn mile at Churchill since she seems to need the longer homestretch.

Re: Witticism
She sounds wonderful. Be sure to let us know when she runs again!
