🏆 'Parenting' Wins Del Mar - Remains Undefeated! 🏆
🤩 'Parenting' - aka “Dave” / "my colt" - started the third race of his career at Del Mar today. It was Race #4 at 6:30 PM (Eastern) from Post Position #5 wearing the green saddle cloth; a 1-mile race on dirt with a $75,000 Purse. His first race was in April, which he won by 3-lengths. Then, in June, he won his second race by 8-lengths, which was the $100,000 Affirmed Stakes! It was a privilege to have him piloted again by jockey, Juan J. ('JJ') Hernandez, whose career earnings are, thus far, $86,501,685. JJ finished 2023 ranked 11th in jockey wins and earnings. 🏆
😕 This was a bittersweet race for me. Recently, our syndicate was approached with an offer to buy 100% of this cool colt. Negotiations occurred, which developed a mutually agreeable purchase arrangement. As a result, his exciting future is in the hands of a new owner. I’m a bit sad, as it’s been fun to own part of him but, as my dad always told me when I’d get bent out of shape due to selling a horse that I enjoyed - I can "cry all the way to the bank", while continuing to closely follow his career and always be one of his most enthusiastic fans! 🥳
As always, my positive thoughts and fervent prayers are never for a win (placings tend to sort-out themselves) but, most importantly, for every horse and jockey to have 100% safe trips! 💗🙏✝️🙏💗
