Victory

Another small partnership to evaluate is Victory Racing Partners. They are located in the unlikely Marietta, Georgia, but seem to have East Coast roots. Victory also is offering part of a California Chrome 2-yr old, and even some older horses. They have existing horses with Pletcher and Asmussen.

Victory bought two reasonable horses at the recent Keeneland sale. Of most interest to me is a Connect colt they bought for $60,000. They have a nice website that clearly offers 1% for $1,750. This includes all expenses through June of 2021 plus insurance.

The mare was a hard knocking Parx $15,000 claimer, that was 1st or 2nd in 16 of 30 starts mostly routing. This is her first foal. The 2nd dam was a decent Broken Vow winner. The nick is rated A. The horse looks good just standing there, very similar to the West Point Connect.

This is a deal worth considering. If I were not waiting until next year, it might even be a top 5 offer.

Victory also paid a cool $215,000 for Street Sense filly. That a big buy for a small operation. They are offering 1% for for $3,570. The mare is a one win daughter of Ghostzapper, who produced a $130,000 winner from her first foal. It is a A++ nick.

These are two very serious race horses that I will be watching with interest.
