Congratulations to West Point for winning the G2 Penne Ridge with a $200,000 Declaration of War from the September Keeneland yearling sale and then nearly winning the G1 Jaipur.
Let’s dig a little further into Decorated Invader. The sire Declaration of War is son of War Front, out a Rahy mare (a distance influence). The dam of Decorated Invader was a one hit wonder, she won her only race with an 86. She had 6 foals in the catalog, 3 winners, none for more than $100,000.
More importantly she was by Arch out an old Nureyev mare with a ton of pedigree. West Point did their homework because this horse does not “jump off the page”
Someday I would like to buy part of a similar horse. That is what all this work is for.
Who is the next Declaration of War? I think this was from his 3rd crop. How about Point of Entry or Mshawish, or Flintshire
