APHRODITE’S QUEST
TAMPA – She finished 5th in a maiden special on
Saturday. She lay in back of the field like in her
first start, made a big move down the lane, but
couldn’t sustain the run. She seems to have come
out of it in good shape. Trainer Malcolm Pierce
will be heading back in the direction of Woodbine
in about 30 days, so we will have to see if a similar
maiden will get to go there. We will just have to
wait to see where her future lies.

th
OAKLAWN – She finished 6 after another
troubled trip. She broke from the one hole, was
checked down the backside, sat in behind horses
with no where to run in the turn. She appears to
come out of the race in good shape and will get one
more start at Oaklawn before coming home to the
farm to be bred. Donnie Von Hemel may have a
rider change for her next start.

~ NEW FOALS ~
SATURDAY – He makes his 2016 debut after a
long lay off tomorrow afternoon at Oaklawn for
Donnie Von Hemel. It’s a very competitive
allowance race, so it will be a good indicator what
the next steps will be for him. However, he has
trained well and deserves the opportunity.
Up and Over
TELL ALL
MAR 10 – Looking for an allowance, going 1 1/16
mi. at Oaklawn for Donnie Von Hemel. She’s been
training well since her last start where she found
trouble down the lane, but hopefully she can
improve from that effort.
TRAINERS’ NEWS
GRAHAM MOTION
At Palm Meadows -- CONSCRIPTION has settled
in nicely and is on a regular breezing schedule. IF
YOU SAY SO had a nice breeze in the past week
on the turf and will be looking for a maiden race at
Tampa in the near future.
BROWNIE POINTS had a very nice filly (above)
by Candy Ride on Feb. 26th and the mare will visit
More Than Ready at WinStar Farm.
Clifford’s daughter, Emily, competed in the Ballyhigh Winter Schooling Jumper Show on February
28 at the Ballyhigh Show Stable in Woodford
County. Emily placed 3rd and 4th in her classes
while aboard Harmony, her trusted jumper for the
event. With the weather being sunny and nice a
number of the classes were moved outdoors. Emily
said there was a pretty good turn out for the show
which made her a little nervous, but she performed
like a champ!
MALCOLM PIERCE
At Palm Meadows -- WHIMSICALITY breezed a
half mile on the grass this week and did that nicely.
We’re looking forward to heading her to
Woodbine. APHRODITE’S QUEST seems to
come out of her race in good shape.
MIKE STIDHAM
At Fair Grounds -- VIEW FROM THE TOP is
back training and is doing well. There may be a
race for her on March 26, going 1 1/16 on the turf.
EQUILIBRATE (above) also foaled on Feb. 26 a
colt by Mizzen Mast and this mare will be rested.
She has been a good producer and deserves some
easy time in retirement.
DONNIE VON HEMEL
At Oaklawn -- FICTIONALITY returned from her
race in good shape. MOVING AWAY is looking
for a maiden race. She’s been entered a couple of
times already with no luck of races going.
POSEIDON’S WAY is in on Saturday. READY
TO CONFESS came out of her last race in good
shape and Donnie has eased off serious training a
little bit to give her a chance to mature. We
probably won’t see her start again until the
Keeneland meet, which is just around the corner.
SYNCHRONY is doing very well – training very
well. He came out of his last race in good shape.
Donnie feels that this colt is just not in love with
the Oaklawn surface. So, he is waiting for the
Keeneland meet, possibly returning to an allowance
race there or the G3 Lexington S. in the middle of
the meet. TELL ALL continues to train well and
looks to run next week.
HOLLY HILL TRAINING CENTER
All the 2yos are doing well - galloping this week
and scheduled to breeze next Tuesday. EVERY
MOMENT is jogging and doing well. DON’T
LEAVE ME had a nice 3/8’s breeze and is coming
along nicely. She will join the Malcolm Pierce barn
somewhere the latter part of this month. YOU’RE
WELCOME is having some easy time on vacation
– just jogging at the present.
Pin Oak employees interested in going to the
Museum for this fantastic exhibit of the work of
the late great equine photographer Tony
Leonard can inquire at the farm office about
obtaining a free admission.
WHISPER TO ME had a very good War Front colt
on March 2 and she will visit Bernardini at Darley.
