House of M. Looks, runs like daddy.


She bears an uncanny resemblance to her sire War Machine. Many a visitor to Otsego Farms has commented on that.

House of M is a 15.2 hand chestnut filly by War Machine out of Classical Music by Black Tie Affair and she'll be coming to a track near you in 2013.

She's fully prepared and ready to run early in the season. "Loves dirt, hates grass", commented an Otsego trainer who then continued, "The boss says M will never race on turf. Not even once."

When asked about distance preference, the trainer beamed and said, "This girl likes distance. She's no sprinter, this one. I reckon 10-12 furlongs will eventually suit her well. Maybe more."

We tracked down Otsego owner Jim Webber and asked him how soon House of M might see the track. "Oh, we're in no hurry, She's ready to go, but we'll probably wait awhile until the races lengthen and the fields thin out a bit. April, perhaps May. We'll see."
