Otsego studs starting to shine!

Southern Belle (War Machine x Southern Charm), Crossbones (Nightwing x In Spirit), and Fra' Diavolo (Union Jack x Queen Street) all won this week, giving some momentum and renown to Otsego Farms Stud Service.

Southern Belle won the GR2 Fantasy Stakes running her record to 8-3-2-1.  Fra' Diavola made it a perfect 2-2-0-0 with his victory in the GR2 Maribyrnong Stakes.  As a sidenote, the Snowbank colt Gravedigger (Union Jack x Spiritual) finished 2nd in the Maribyrnong.

The big winner of the day however was Crossbones.  Displaying the come-from-behind strategy that made his sire famous, he won the $750,000 GR2 Wood Memorial, giving him a career mark of 7-2-1-2.

Additionally, sources are reporting that Southern Belle will also be entering the Kentucky Oaks on May 2 at Churchill Downs in a face-off against another War Machine filly, House of M.  That field promises to be stacked with talent.  In addition to the two War Machine fillies, Bravy's Lass, Celestial Glaze, Mermaid, and She's A Hottie are reportedly on board as well.

I cant wait to race my Union Jack foal .. They seem to be doing well over sprints im very surprised at that .. I was thinking later in the season when the distances get to 8f+ his foals would shine , now i cant wait to see how they go later in the season
