Somethinaboutlaura and My Girls!


Today's blog is about Somethinaboutlaura, a young lady who raced only in California her entire career. She just retired at the end of March at the age of 6 and was booked to Stormy Atlantic. Her final career record was 34: 18-4-5 with earnings of over $1,129,000. She was born on March 1, 2002 by Dance Floor out of Crystals of Ice by Its Freezing. Over her career, she had 14 stakes wins and 9 wins in added-value races. She won several important stakes races twice, including the Campanile, A Gleam Invitational, and Pacific Heights Handicap. She was great over all surfaces and distances, racing on dirt, turf, and synthetic surfaces and at distances ranging from 5 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/16 miles. The girl deserves some pasture time with a beautiful foal by her side, that's for sure!

My Violet shares a little splash of Nasrullah, Princequillo, Discovery and Man o'War with her, among many other relatives. You can see a resemblance between my sweet Vi and Somethinaboutlaura. Happy retirement, girl! Enjoy your pasture and herd time. Make some beautiful fast, resilient, weight-carrying, flexible horses! Make winners like yourself, who can win stakes races on dirt, turf, and synthetic. What a talented girl!
