My top filly purchase is also a perfect example of my strategy.
Not many folks arriving in Ocala were saying, “I got to get me one of those Point of Entry’s”. This sire is a solid son of Dynaformer produced some solid winners on all surfaces.
Hip #162 was born on April 18th
The dam Mountain Mambo was a solid allowance mare that ran an Equibase speed fig of 95, and produced 6 winners. The second dam was by Kingmambo, and the third dam was by Nijinsky. Again I would consider this almost perfect pedigree.
Again I consider it a minor miracle that this filly went 2 furlongs in 21.1, faster than 78% of the horses that chose to work 2 furlongs.
Again I would have paid 10x the stud fee of $15,000, but the hammer fell at $65,000 or 4.3x.
The great news is the buyer was Dennis O’Neil who I believe might be acting on behalf of the Wygood family, or another Doug O’Neil owner.
Just to make this a perfect picture, I just looked up the winner of today’s 1 1/2 mile turf stake, the Louisville G3 at Churchill. The winner was a Point of Entry 5-yr old named Admission Office. Ridden by my favorite jockey Julien Leparoux.
The winner of the 2022 Louisville Stake (beating the boys) at 1 /1/2 miles will be:
Quixote’s Model
or whatever boring name they chose to give her.
