And then there was Causin' Havoc who didn't even seem to start running until the wire was crossed. In fact, by the time the jockeys got their mounts pulled up, he was near the lead. As his saddle was removed, his ears were pricked and he was ready to go. Unfortunately, the race was long over.

I was out at Keeneland Sunday telling some friends about Causin' Havoc when a man behind us interrupted. "Causin' Havoc," he said, "he is the talk of the backside." So, it seems our boy Causin' Havoc has a bit of buzz around him.

Causin' Havoc (colt - Medaglia d'Oro - Degenerate Gal by Degenerate Jon) becomes the first of our first-crop offspring to be entered in a race, as he scheduled to run in Race 2 at Keeneland on April 9th. We'll take a closer look at this race next week.

Jubilee Star (Proud Citizen - Evil by Hennessy) possesses impressive family connections as he is a half-brother to Tiz Wonderful who won the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (gr. II) and the Iroquois Stakes (gr. III) in 2006 and has earned $254,672.

Another new face was Conga Queen, our first Congaree worker. A filly out of the Hawkin's Special mare, Special Test, Conga Queen worked 3 furlongs in :37.80 at Lone Star Park on 3/25. Special Test was a stakes winner who earned $207,656. She has produced 3 winners including the stakes winner, Adopted Daughter, who earned $255,850.
