Love her head. Same head as on my Street Cry filly.

They tell me she's got some brains in there too...and a temper ! These are 2 of a set of about 6 pics the farm sent tonight and they mentioned that the handler was scared to death 'cause she was " not in the mood " to have her photo taken. Judging by the way he's holding her I suppose he was lol.

Enjoy the temperament. We passed buying 50% of a Silver Hawk filly because she was a monster and now she's a G1 winner. My Lemon Drop Kid filly is very "bullyish" but not mean, per se. Just throws herself around.

Yep ; believe it or not we actually put this filly on a diet 'cause she was eating everybody elses grain & hay & we needed to slow her down. She's a bully but I think it worked ! Funny part is her Mother runs away as soon as any other mare comes near the grain bin. She made $160K at the track so she runs away pretty fast...sweetest thing on 4 feet. Currently in foal to Devil His Due after losing the 1st. one at 45 days. Whew !!!

Mike, all your foals have got some serious legs on them! She's a great looking filly and you gotta love Slew City Slew - he just keeps cranking them out :) Good luck with her!

And congrats on the 45 day foal check!!!

Well ; the slew city slew & the during we bought both mares in foal. We're humbly grateful on both fronts for what we got. The Louis Quatorze was our first " planned " mating so we're thrilled with that as well. Hopefully we'll have a happy, healthy Mutakddim ( whatever the hell it means ) & a Devil His Due next spring. Really, really do appreciateall the nice comments. We're tryin' !!!
