I hope that he can do things just as easily in the Hollywood Futurity. We purchased his half brother at the FT Fall Yearling sale. See Hip #233. We're undecided whether to send him back through the ring in the spring or go ahead and race him. We'll have to see how things go when he breaks down in Florida this winter. He'll be going at the end of the month.
We (my father and I) have about 30+ horses, with about 5 young ones. We race in the Mid Atlantic region. We're based out of Penn National and Delaware Park during the spring-fall, then Penn and Gulfstream in the winter months.
I don't often tout our own horses, but we have a runner in at Penn tonight in the 16OCL, Window B. In looking at my sheets, he looks very good in the race, especially at the ML of 9-2.

Yes, we've had a couple of stakes winners. But we are predominantly a mid-level claiming operation ($16-$50k). We'd be more happy with horses that cranked out $50-$60k a year as opposed to trying to win stakes. Our big earner of the year is right at the $100k mark.
We had a very nice 3 year old filly this year named Xtra Tough who ended up wrenching an ankle and we had to lay her up. We were trying to line her up for a graded stake at Calder or Belmont once they returned from Saratoga.
This one that is a half to Declan's Moon absolutely looks the part. Straight in the front, strong shoulder, good backside. Feet are straight and not toed in or out. He has great paper. We actually had won the bidding on him at around $56k, but there was some confusion regarding the bidding, and they had to restart it.
By the way, I'll be playing 5/2,3 at PEN.
