Wicked Success

By | Horizon, Latest News, Wicked Strong

First win for 2012 Horizon, LLC partners

Our aptly named Hard Spun colt, Wicked Strong, proved to be just that beating a strong field in Maiden Allowance company on Saturday, October 26 at Belmont Park. He settled in along the rail behind the front of the pack, swung three wide to take the lead in the stretch and won by two lengths earning a Beyer of 80. The two-year-old colt scored the win on his second career start after finishing second on September 21 at Belmont.

He came out of the race in good order and we could not have been more pleased with how he handled every aspect of the race. Trainer Jimmy Jerkens is considering the $400,000 G2 Remsen at Aqueduct on Saturday, November 30 but won’t make the final decision for a week or two. Jimmy said after the race, “Wicked Strong didn’t do a thing wrong. I thought his race was perfect, really.”

Offspring of Three Top Sires Join Centennial Roster

By | Horizon, Juba, Latest News, Wicked Strong

New colts make up the 2012 Horizon, LLC

Tapit, Hard Spun and Bernardini are three of the hottest sires in the world today as well as the sires of the three new yearling colts that are the assets of Centennial’s new 2012 Horizon, LLC.

The colts were recent purchases from the Keeneland September Yearling Sale which saw high demand for quality horses and a great deal of competitive bidding between leading buyers. Centennial ranked in the top fifteen buyers at the conclusion of Thursday’s session. Our Acquisition Team worked diligently, sticking to a plan and budget that worked well to secure three spectacular individuals that fit the Centennial model of athletic ability, conformation and pedigree.

Total capitalization for this new partnership is $1,480,000 with all expenses paid through the end of 2013. There is a very attractive investment incentive to participate before year-end as both the accelerated depreciation and expense allowance within the horse industry will expire on December 31, 2012.

For more information on the colts click on the Horizon Partnership on the left hand side of the page. Please feel free to contact with the office with any questions.
