Runnymede Farm

Exciting new filly!

With our partner, Haras d'Etreham, we acquired this weanling Speightstown filly at the ARQANA bloodstock sale in France. Her pedigree is impressive as she is a full sister to G1pl GSW Bobby's Wicked One, and her dam, the Ghostzapper mare Wicked Charm, is a half sister to champion, MG1 winner and highly successful sire English Channel.

Additionally, the filly's dam is a half sister to the dam of G2 winner & MG1pl Lucida, who placed in 5 G1 races in Europe including the 2015 1000 Guineas when she was edged by 3/4 of a length by Legatissimo.

The filly's 3rd dam is French G1 winner Committed, who reigned as a champion in France and England on four occasions and who produced USA G1 winner Pharma.

Bred by Sheikh Abdullah Almaddah, the filly was offered as part of the dispersal of Marbat LLC.

Stonewall Star, who won today's Key Cents Stakes at Aqueduct, took us on a time machine ride back more than a decade.

Her dam, Jonata (Proud Citizen), was bred by and raised at Runnymede prior to her sale to Barry Schwartz for $100,000 as a yearling in 2011. Not only did Jonata turn into a nice racehorse, winning twice and placing five times while earning $140,800, she obviously proved to be a very nice broodmare. Stonewall Star, a juvenile filly, is a full sister to multiple stakes winner La Fureza, with both sired by Flatter, and both Jonata's other two foals also are winners.

Although racing and breeding are not reliably predictable, Jonata's success is not a surprise as her dam, Romp and Stomp (Olympio), a half sister to Breeders' Cup Classic winner Volponi, was a gem of a broodmare. She produced 6 foals, all of whom raced and were winners, including 2 black-type winners and 2 black-type placers including G1pl GSW Pinch Pie (Victory Gallop). Another of Romp and Stomp's offspring was Zvyozdny Put (Street Sense), who was a Russian MG1 winner.

Congratulations to Barry Schwartz and his Stonewall Farm for breeding and racing Stonewall Star from Runnymede-bred, raised and sold Jonata.

It's a long way from foal to winner, but 2yo c**t Prowling Tiger has been a standout since he was born and today he strode into the winner's circle with aplomb.

Making his second start after notching a good closing second in his debut over 1 1/16 miles on October 23, Prowling Tiger leapt out of the starting gate and set most of the pace in a maiden special weight event on turf at Laurel Park. The son of the late Kitten's Joy out of champion Lady Eli's MGSW half sister Bizzy Caroline then displayed the heart of his family by drawing away from rivals after briefly being headed in the stretch. The c**t clearly relished stretching out to 1 1/8 miles and crossed the finish line 1 3/4 lengths in front of second-placed Great Skill.

Congratulations to all Prowling Tiger's connections: owners Burning Daylight Farms & Rebecca Galbraith, who purchased the c**t from our consignment at Keeneland last year for $190,000; trainer Arnaud Delacour, and jockey Jorge Ruiz.

Bizzy Caroline's first two foals also were winners and her most recent offspring are a yearling c**t by Twirling Candy named Sweet Odyssey who sold for $220,000 in September and a weanling c**t by Not This time.

Lots to look forward to with Prowling Tiger and his relatives in this long-established Runnymede family of renown.

Juvenile filly U Glow Girl delivered a beautifully-timed advertisement for our Fasig-Tipton October yearling consignment as she rushed from just off the pace to win a 6f allowance race today at Horsehoe Indianapolis.

A Runnymede pinhook sold to owner Steve Landers at last year's Fasig October sale, the daughter of Girvin was regarded by fans as the odds-on favorite in the 8-filly field and she lived up to that billing under jockey Marcelino Pedroza Jr. even while racing greenly.

U Glow Girl has now won half her four starts and has earned over $78,000, well above her $50,000 sale price.

Congratulations to all her connections, including the excellent management by trainer Brad H. Cox Racing Stable. U Glow Girl had previously won a maiden special weight event at Saratoga Race Course in August.
