Union Jack has the lungs. Nova has the raw speed. This dynamic duo should wreak havoc on opposite ends of the racing spectrum next season.
Union Jack has progressed nicely over the past two seasons. He became a consistent threat at 10+ furlongs on turf last season, and was rewarded with an Eclipse nomination. His record in 2008 was 10-3-2-3 with earnings of $2,249,500. Seven of his 10 starts resulted in speed scores over 100.
In 2009, as a 4yo, he will be a mainstay in the lucrative Grade One 4+ turf races. Our stated goal for UJ is an Eclipse award for Male Turf Champion.
Nova had a superlative 2008. In 10 starts she compiled a record of 10-5-5-0 and lost a couple of the starts by a head, including the Breeders Cup Sprint. She earned $958,750. Her average speed score in 2008 was 109!
Now entering her prime, we expect nothing less than a Champion Sprinter Eclipse for Nova in 2009.
Turf at 10 plus. Dirt at 7 or less. We consider these races already won. Entering races against this pair of killers in 2009 will be like eating a poisonous toadstool.
