A Trio Of Wins For ToF horses

14 May was a pretty good day for ToF horses.

Black Mallou, a 3yo gelding by Black Minnaloushe out of a Thirty Six Red mare, recorded his third victory of the year in a claiming race at Golden Gate Fields. He was quickly in front, setting the pace. He turned back a bid from the runner-up Flaming Mandate, and drove clear again in mid stretch.

Wonder Beach, a 3yo gelding by Worldly Manner, broke his maiden in his 11th start in a maiden claiming at Indiana Downs. A P Prime was getting closer in the stretch, but I am glad Wonder Beach finally managed to get a win for his owner/trainer Jackie Christenson.

Last but not least, Watchtower, son of the late great Dubai Millennium, also won for the third time this year. Coming of a win in a similar race 11 days before, he won easily in the claiming race at Suffolk Downs over 1 mile 70 yards by 3 3/4 lengths for his owner Philip DiCosmo and trainer Robert Raymond. . Unsurprising to me, he was claimed out of the race. His new owner/trainer is Lorita Lindemann. He should be an asset to anyone's stable and I hope he will continue his form with his new owner. On a side note. He is still a entire horse and well bred. Considering he was claimed for $6,250, I would pay that money and produce a couple of foals by him. But that's just me. I absolutely adored his sire.
