Exciting acquisition announced....


Petenwell, the 4yo dark gray colt bred by Smokey's Stable, has been purchased by Otsego Farms in a cash transaction announced by both stables today. This classic distance veteran racer is by Dawn Patrol out of Madcap Escapade, and is an exciting addition to the Otsego racing string.

Commenting on the purchase, Otsego Farms owner Jim Webber said, "Chris and I met at the Casino in Greektown and hashed out a deal on Petenwell. I was looking for a classy veteran and Petenwell fit the bill perfectly. I also dealt with Chris earlier this year on the Isca's Revenge breeding deal, and he has been more than generous in both cases. We'll remember that. He'll get taken care of in the future, that I guarantee."

Webber was referring to Smokey's Stable owner Chris Campbell and the broodmare lease of super-mare Isca's Revenge who will pair with War Machine at the conclusion of this season.

Petenwell has competed primarily at 9-12 furlongs on both turf and dirt. Three Grade One victories and 13 races with PSR's over 100 in 24 career starts highlight a solid resume'. Plans for 2012 call for racing primarily in Grade Two races.
