Weather Wiz provided an outstanding exclamation point to the prestigious Saratoga meet with a closing weekend allowance victory! The colt’s win was the third for Centennial Farms at the nation’s most cherished venue. No other partnership brought their partners to the winner’s circle on more occasions over the course of the meet.
There’s no meet like it in North America – owners from all over the country covet a victory at beloved and historic Saratoga Race Course like no other. To win a race is an achievement. To win two in a day? Unbelievable. Securitiz and Adulator provided an incredibly memorable double, each rolling to victory at The Spa. The wins were somewhat bittersweet as both horses, favorites of partners and the Jerkens barn, were claimed out of their victories. Placing horses where they belong is an important part of managing their careers for their partners. We’ll be keeping an eye on where they go from here!
Adulator is back in action in the mornings after his last race on June 1.

After knocking on the door in each of his four prior starts, consistent Weather Wiz rewarded his partners with a resounding maiden victory. The personable four-year-old romped to a 4 3/4-length victory at Belmont Park!
Candygram’s fourth lifetime start proved to be a sweet one, as the sophomore broke out of the maiden ranks with a confident score at Belmont Park. It was a particularly special one, as it allowed some partners new to thoroughbred ownership to take their first trip to the winner’s circle!
Pirate’s Treasure broke out of the maiden ranks with a front-running score at Aqueduct! As a New York-bred facing open company, his victory also earned more than $2,400 in owners awards for his partners.
Preservationist could not have been more impressive at The Big A! The ultra-talented five-year-old delivered a massive performance, rolling to a four-length score. He earned a gaudy 97 Beyer speed figure for his effort, his second straight victory and our third win in four 2018 starts.
Seattle Slew winner Securitiz made his 2018 debut a winning one! The popular horse ran Centennial Farms’ record to two-for-two in the young year by defeating a tough group in an allowance at Aqueduct.
That’s how you start a year! Preservationist, the first starter for Centennial Farms in the new year, delivered a game performance to break his maiden at Aqueduct Racetrack. The five-year-old’s talent has always been abundant, and patient handling by Jimmy Jerkens, Paula Parsons, and Dr. Carr have allowed it to shine.
Keeneland’s annual September Sale routinely turns out more champions and graded stakes winners than all other sales companies combined. The Centennial Farms acquisition team returns each year to pour through hundreds of horses and select those which match the Centennial ideal. Dr. Steven Carr and Paula Parsons once again succeeded at finding athletic, impressive physical individuals with pedigrees that indicate the sky’s the limit.
The group commenced with the purchase of a son from the first crop of brilliant Whitney winner Cross Traffic out of a stakes winning mare. We were able to follow that up with the addition of a colt by red-hot Into Mischief whose dam is the daughter of standout broodmare sire Unbridled’s Song and an Eclipse Award winner. Exciting freshman stallion Cairo Prince sired our third purchase, the second foal out of a dam who has already produced a winner. The final member of the quartet is by Horse of the Year and proven sire Mineshaft, out of a young daughter of world-renowned War Front.
All four colts will begin their initial training in Middleburg, Virginia, making them among the first crop eligible for the lucrative Virginia Residency Bonus Program. Centennial Farms is the only partnership whose time-tested methods will also make our partners eligible to earn these tremendous bonuses.
