Our mare Lickety Lemon (pictured below) is by Lemon Drop Kid.
Lickety Lemon is a turf specialist, having raced on the grass in all but one of her 14 starts. Lemon finished "on the board" in an amazing seven stakes races at tracks all across North America, including Woodbine, Keeneland, Saratoga and Fairgrounds. She won the $102,000 Flaming Page Stakes at Woodbine and ran 2nd in the $102,000 Alywow Stakes, also at Woodbine. Lemon was also 2nd (by only a neck!) in the $150,000 Jessamine Stakes at Keeneland. She ran third in the $182,000 Ontario Colleen at Woodbine, third in the $102,000 Madame Jumel Stakes at Saratoga and also third in the $150,000 Natalma Stakes (G3) at Woodbine. Lemon retired with lifetime earnings of $236,004.
She is infoal to More Than Ready and we are very excited about her 2010 foal due in April.
The colt selling for $320,000 is a double pleasure for us because our mare, Officer Cherrie, is infoal to Tiznow!

So seeing Tiznow's offspring bring good prices like this is quite a nice feeling. I realize that a lot factors go into what price a weanling/yearling sells for, but it is results like this that give us *hope*!
Anyway, I am *thrilled* and just had to share!
How fabulous would that be... So long between now and then, where so many things have to go *just* right. Which is why I like find little tid bits like this to show the possibly bright light at the end of the tunnel.
