Neat pickup here on the Paulickreport. Nice one, Jerry!
Elliott Walden, President and CEO of winning co-owner WinStar Farm (Margie’s Intention): (This isn’t a typical WinStar purchase, a Louisiana-bred who had raced only in Louisiana-bred company. Tell us about her purchase.) Jerry Brown from Thoro-Graph really liked her. We’d seen her at the 2-year-old sale; we’d looked at her then. So, I knew quite a bit about her when he mentioned her, knew she was a really pretty filly. So, it made sense to us. We bought her privately, then turned her over to Brad (Cox). Brendan (Walsh) had done a great job with her. We have plenty of horses with Brad, and that was the only reason for the change. We looked at her race record, running every three weeks down there in all those Louisiana-bred stakes. You want to take opportunity when it’s there, if you’re a Louisiana-bred. So, we thought maybe giving her eight weeks and letting her catch up to herself would help her. And she ran super. Distance isn’t a problem, and we’l see where she takes us from here.â€
