He did look good but he's 3 not 2.

My two year old hasn't started yet, but the trainer loves him and what he's seeing so far ;)

My best guess would be mid-summer.

Midnight Vader had his first start yesterday at River Downs - 5 furlongs on the turf. He came in 2nd but the jockey held him back for some reason on the stretch for home. He ran a good race for his first start :)

Midnight Vader came in third in the Hoover Stakes at River Downs. Not An Altar Boy aka Damien (Tueflesurg out of Laird's Honor) another horse that we bred and had so many issues that we had permission to put down by the insurance company came in 2nd beating out Vader. It was Damien's first start. Was really proud of both boys but especially happy that Damien is doing so well and looks like a champ. Some of you may recall I tried giving him away here this past spring with no takers. A really nice article in the Bloodhorse on Vader after his loss

You would think we were paying off the author as many nice articles as he has written about Vader. Now he just needs to win one. We are happy with two seconds and a third in a stakes race so far however :).

Check out Creative Cause, who won the 5th at Hollywood today, July 16. Gorgeous grey, great shoulder and hip, and he won off by 5 in his first start like a real man should.

His dam is a Grade 1 winning California bred that banked over 1M in earnings. She has been bred to some good sires, this one looks like the real deal.
