On Tuesday December 5th we flew to Aqueduct Race Track in New York to inspect a possible new addition to our stallion roster. It was cold and snowy, which I loved, and we were able to catch up with friends each night for dinner. But Wednesday am, we were off to the backside at Aqueduct to see SAINT ANDDAN and we were not dissapointed by what we saw. He is a handsome horse and we knew right away

When Smarty Jones won the Kentucky Derby in 2004, quite a bit was made of the fact that I had purchased his dam, I'll Get Along, when he was a weanling. Obviously, a big reason for this was all the excitement that Smarty generated in his triple crown quest.I had purchased I'll Get Along as agent for Cl0verleaf Farms II, giving $130,000 for her at the Keeneland November 2001 sale.
