Major Stakes Wins Cap Huge Year for Outflanker
Outflanker finished 2007 (as he did in 2006) in style with two major stakes wins within 10 minutes of one another on December 31st. Two-yr old Apple Special captured the Maryland Juvenile Championship in commanding fashion while Bayou's Lassie won a hard fought battle against top fillies and mares in the Grade 3 Stage Door Betty at Calder.
Outflanker finished 2007 as the number 2 sire in Maryland with over $3.5mm in earnings, trailing only Not for Love (at 6+ times the stud fee). More importantly, his solid first Maryland sired crop led to his being the leading sire of 2 yr old winners in the MID ATLANTIC REGION. Outflanker had 8 stakes winners in 2007, three of them graded as well as two 2 year old stakes winners and two other stakes placed juveniles.
Rock Slide Poised for a Big 2008
With several impressive winners from only ___ starters in 2007, most of Rock Slide’s firepower has yet to be seen. In particular, he has several 6 figure 2007 2 year olds and well-received yearlings that we should see at the races in 2008.
As with his brother, Mineshaft, there are high hopes for the combination of the first two crops by these quality stallions.
