Good Night Shirt is certainly the flagship of my bloodstock business. I got lucky, stumbled on him at Fair Hill Training Center and he’s done the rest. Along with him (my first champion), I’m proud of the gamers like Corruption, Dynability, Dancewel, Bubble Economy, Mark The Shark, Vain Vixen . . . all of them.

I bought a colt by Singspiel at the Goffs Breeze Up Sale in May and snuck two horses out of Keeneland during April. Dictina’s Boy notched his first jump win at Callaway Gardens, taking a Sport Of Kings maiden by 4 1/2 lengths, and Commodore Bob made his steeplechase debut at Camden in November, finishing fourth. Look for the Singspiel colt to run on the turf before starting a hurdling career. Seeking No More scored over jumps at Palm Beach, taking a $25,000 Sport Of Kings maiden at the season-ending meet. Freeboard won a $20,000 flat race for trainer Jack Fisher at the International Gold Cup and raced over hurdles at Montpelier in 2008. Californian Left Unsaid won a $15,000 maiden hurdle in his jump debut at Strawberry Hill in April. High Approval is in training with Tom Voss and will make his debut in the near future. Thoroughbred Take A Partner was retrained and sold into Olympic Gold Medalist Joe Fargis' barn; he recently finished second, with owner Tracey Weinberg, in a jumper class at the Atlanta Spring Classic Horse Show.

I look at horses every day; either in the flesh or on paper. Completing the superfecta are my 73-year-old father (of Maryland Hunt Cup-winner Buck Jakes fame), my brother Joe and my wife Anne.
