I finally broke down an bought a yearling. After watching dozens of offers go by from the big guys, I bought 5% of a Point of Entry filly from a small operation called Blue Streak Racing.
From the very beginning Point of Entry has been my favorite turf sire. I have always been a Dynaformer fan, and right now POE is his best son. The mare is Jazz Dancer, a daughter of Dixieland Band. DB is the damsire of Monarchos and Street Sense. Jazz Dancer was not much of a horse, but she has produced 2 winners. More importantly she is the daughter of multiple G1 winning router Missy’s Mirage. There is plenty of stamina pedigree in this 2nd dam.
For a horse that only cost $15,000 that is enough pedigree for me. True Nicks rates the cross an A. She is a New York bred.
Blue Streak is relatively new partnership group founded by Tim McCoy. Tim grew up in Saratoga Springs, so he been around horse racing his whole life. He was also a partnership investor himself, and is now trying to start his own. Last year he bought a $12,000 daughter of Girolamo that won at Saratoga this summer.
My new horse will be trained by Ray Handel. She is currently learning to be a race horse at King’s Equine in Ocala.
