Oh sorry, no! I just ran out of time!! But I will be going back - do you have a mare I could help you book to him? I got discounts on every horse I booked this year. I have one client in particular that we got what he wanted for his mares and I saved him $11,000.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

Got a whopper of a filly!!
Missed the foaling by about 10 minutes on Thursday night and when I looked in the stall door all I could see was legs.
My small, grade I runnerup mare dropped a lovely, LARGE, correct chestnut filly.
If I could figure it out, I'd post a photo that would make you rub your eyes in disbelief.

Congratulations! And please try to figure the picture thing out.

My mare's name is Enchanting Star (see picture w/pedigree) and I designed her by using Take Charge Lady as a model. I bred her, foaled and raised her, and gave her her early training in Ocala.
I knew Star was special the day she was born.
When I shipped her to Delaware Park as a 2yo, her first 4 works were 37 2/5, 48 2/5, 48 flat bg, and then 34 2/5 and 1:00 2/5. The last was a bullet 5/8s by two seconds out of 37 breezers on a Saturday.
In her first start in July, the 5/8's race ran in 57 2/5 and she ran second. She ran another second, then broke her maiden against a filly named Graeme Six, a Grade I runnerup later and a Grade III winner.
The third place winner in that race was 11 lengths back.
After her win, I entered her in the Frizette Stakes and she went off at 46-1. She ran second beaten a length and a half and Mike Smith came back after the race and said "I'm sorry, I should have won the race.
Picture to follow. Thanks for your interest.

Notional filly
Morning:
Before I answer you're question, please understand that I breed, own and train all my horses and since I got back into the business a dozen years ago I've had 100% starters and 90% MSW and/or Allowance winners. Therefore, I don't get too concerned about confirmation being perfect because I think a capable trainer can train around many flaws.
Anyway, this filly appears to be noticeably stamped by her mother. She's very high energy, light to moderate build, but quite a bit leggier than her mother. She's exceptionally quick on her feet like her mother. I should add too that she appears to be quite correct. I would guess that she will be about 16 hands as a 3 year old. I would guess too, that she will be early although you never know for sure.
I haven't seen any of the other of the Notional foals and therefore couldn't tell you if my experience is typical or not. I have noted however, that Notional appears to be off to a very slow start as a sire. But, I, like Tesio, think that the magic is in the mating not just in the sire. I've generally been pretty accurate based on early observations, and I think this filly has considerable promise.
Hope this helps.
