It wasn’t the result we’d hoped for, but Antiquarian’s tremendous effort in the Belmont Stakes allowed us to make some truly amazing memories with so many members of the Centennial family. We love our partners and love bringing them together for moments like these. Everyone is incredibly proud of Antiquarian, who finished fifth through some bumping while making his Grade 1 debut, and we are so looking forward to what his future holds after a freshening in Middleburg. The future is very bright for this guy and we’re so grateful to have a wonderful team behind him.
A special four-day racing festival in Saratoga got even more special with a sparkling debut victory by Illuminare! The exciting sophomore sat just off the pace and kicked clear going 7-furlongs to launch his career. It was a tremendous effort and a credit to so many, including Paula Parsons and her staff in Middleburg, Dr. Carr, Todd Pletcher and his entire team, Irad Ortiz, Jr., and more. Being able to celebrate with so many of his partners on-hand made the victory particularly special. Moments like these are indescribable!
A unique Belmont Stakes Racing Festival in Saratoga kicked off with the post position draw at Universal Preservation Hall in downtown Saratoga Springs! Antiquaria, who enters the race off of a victory in the G3 Peter Pan, drew post five in a competitive ten-horse field. He retains the services of Hall of Famer John Velazquez, who has been aboard “Baby P” in all four of his career starts. The morning line odds on the duo have been set at 12-1. A full story is available via NYRA here and complete quotes from the event can be found here.
Goodstone got the opportunity to stretch out to a mile and 70 yards in his second career start and made the most of it! The sophomore engaged in a a three-way battle for the lead before drawing off to an authoritative 4 3/4-length victory. The Pletcher team has done a terrific job with this colt, as did Paula Parsons and her staff in Middleburg. He’s got a lot of upside for his outstanding family of partners as the second half of the year gets underway!
W-O-W! Antiquarian bounced back from a rough trip to the Fair Grounds for the Louisiana Derby with a huge effort in his New York debut. The exciting sophomore was bumped at the start, hung wide, and kept on running to pull clear to an impressive victory in the G3 Peter Pan Stakes. The win stamped him as a legitimate contender for the G1 Belmont Stakes on June 8 at Saratoga Race Course.
We are endlessly proud of him (and his dad, Preservationist) and grateful to everyone who made it possible – our phenomenal, unparalleled partners, our team, including Dr. Carr and Paula Parsons and her staff in Middleburg, Todd Pletcher and his crew, the great John Velazquez, and, of course, Baby P himself.
Timaeus is back in the mornings at Monmouth Park soon after his last race and win on April 26 at Gulfstream Park.
WORKOUTS:
05/12 – 4f:50.0 (Monmouth Park)
What a joy to watch Timaeus bound home a winner at Gulfstream Park for his patient partners! He delivered a terrific performance off of the layoff to pull clear beneath Edgard Zayas. We’re incredibly grateful to his partners, Todd Pletcher and his entire team, Jimmy Jerkens and his crew, who launched Timaeus’s career, and more. Paula Parsons and her staff in Middleburg were particularly key to his success and we’re thankful for their diligent work, expertise, and care.
Six years to the day after Preservationist beat winners for the first time, Antiquarian picked up his first career victory! It’s always special to have an exciting horse in the barn, but a little extra sweet when they’re sired by a former stable star. “Baby P,” from the first crop of “Big P,” shipped to the Fair Grounds for his second career start, faced a tough field on a challenging surface, and delivered an impressive victory. Paula Parsons and her staff in Middleburg did a terrific job getting him ready for Todd Pletcher and his team, who did an outstanding job preparing him for the race. Hall of Famer John Velazquez gave him a masterful ride in their second outing together. Moments like this are only possible because of our fantastic partners – we absolutely adore them and are thrilled to have them involved with a colt like this!
