(10/7) My Kinda Town breaks maiden at Belmont Park

Hemlock Hills Farm (Alfred Hemlock) and Stewart Hoffman's
MY KINDA TOWN, who finished second in his last race,
closed strongly through the stretch to break his maiden
in his 8th lifetime start. Trainer Bruce Levine removed the
blinkers for today's race and renamed journeyman jockey
Richard Migliore to ride the three-year-old bay gelding.
My Kinda Town provided the Levine and Migliore combination
with their second of three victories on the afternoon card.

The state-bred race was run over Belmont Park's main track,
listed "fast", and had a full field of 12-state-breds go to the post. Positive Gold went to the front tracked by Slippery Slick and
My Kinda Town through an opening first half-mile in 45.2 seconds. Migliore moved My Kinda Town three-wide in the far turn
and entered the stretch in the middle of the track.
While under a drive, My Kinda Town caught Positive Gold
inside the eighth-pole and drew off drawing off to win
by 2-1/4-lengths under the wire. Karakorum Patriot closed
along the rail to finish a head in front of Slippery Slick
for place money. Final time was 1:11.1 seconds.

Bred by Vivien Malloy's Edition Farm, who qualified for
a $4,920 breeder's award, My Kinda Town is by Williamstown,
and is out of Mine Tonight, by Upper Nile. Purchased as a yearling for $117,000, My Kinda Town is a half-brother to stakes winners Minetonightsfirst (D'Accord) and Pooska Hill (Phantom Jet).
The sire, Williamstown, is owned by a syndicate, who qualifies for
a stallion owner's award of $1,722, and stands at Metropolitan Stud in Pine Plains, New York. A record setting stakes winning son of Seattle Slew, Williamstown has progeny earnings of over $1million in 2004. A check of the Hypo-Mating feature on the nybreds.com homepage reveals that My Kinda Town crosses 5X4 to both Northern Dancer and Round Table. Hypo-Mating Pedigree | Brisnet Chart

(10/2) Then She Laughs places 3rd
in Pimlico's G3 Safely Kept

Breeders' Cup Vincent Papandrea's New York-bred
Then She Laughs placed third in Pimlico's $143,000
Grade 3 Safely Kept Breeders' Cup Stakes for three-year-old fillies Saturday, pursuing the pace three wide and appearing to gain
a brief top-of-the-stretch lead before being passed on the outside
by 3.90-to-1 third choice Bending Strings. The latter,
a daughter of New York-based stallion American Chance,
scored her second graded victory of the year while pushing her earnings to $364,300 in 13 starts. Favored at even money was
the event's pacesetter, Smokey Glacken, who held for second,
with Then She Laughs going off as the 7.10-to-1 fourth choice among six starters and finishing ahead of three rivals,
including 2.30-to-1 third choice Gilded Gold and recent
Monmouth stakes winner Ambition Unbridled.

Then She Laughs was race-ridden in the Safely Kept for
the second consecutive time by Stewart Elliott, who had guided
her to a 2 1/4-length victory in Monmouth's historic
Miss Woodford Stakes in the New York-bred filly's latest previous outing on August 22. Pacesetter Smokey Glacken's five-furlong fraction in the six-furlong Safely Kept, set when Then She Laughs was at her throatlatch, was 57.54, and Bending Strings' winning time was 1:10.11. Then She Laughs increased her earnings by $11,000 to $137,740 off a record of 4 - 0 - 3 in 11 starts.

Bred by the Edition Farm in Hyde Park of Henry & Vivien Malloy
of Waccabuc, the bay filly is the third New York-bred
open stakes winner sired by syndicated Distorted Humor,
following graded winners Funny Cide and Go Rockin' Robin.
She did not meet her $17,000 reserve at Fasig-Tipton's
2002 Saratoga preferred New York-bred yearling sale and was acquired privately by owner Papandrea.

Then She Laughs is the fourth offspring and among four winners produced from multiple stakes-placed winner
Dances With Quack ($102,947), by Sovereign Dancer.
Edition Farm (through Vivien Malloy) had purchased
Dances With Quack for $40,000 at Keeneland's 2001
January mixed sale when she was carrying Then She Laughs. Dances With Quack is a half-sister to Grade 3-placed winner
Strike It Smart and is out of multiple stakes winner Quack Call.

(6/12) Mistda captures Reverie Stakes
at Monmouth Park

MISTDA, one of two New York-breds entered in today's
$60,000 Reverie Stakes for three year-old fillies, became the
15th New York-bred to win an open stakes this season with a
come from behind effort, capturing her first career stakes victory.

Mistda finished second to Rodeo Licious in the seven-furlong restricted Bouwerie Stakes at Belmont Park in her last outing, however she has displayed an affinity for longer distance races around two turns. The Reverie is run over the dirt at a mile around two-turns at Monmouth Park and, after three scratches, had a field of 5 horses go to the starting gate. Top New York-trainer Richard Dutrow, Jr., shipped the filly down from his home base at Belmont Park, naming journeyman jockey Jose Ferrer to ride the gray filly for the first time. Rodeo Licious, the even-money favorite, broke on top and led the field past the half-mile pole, reached in a snappy 46.2 seconds before giving way to Fall Fashion as Mistda moved between horses into second-position. As the field turned for home, Mistda exploded to the lead, opening up by three-lengths, which she increased to 4-1/4 lengths crossing the wire. Final time was 1:36.4.

Sold as a weanling at the 2001 Keeneland November Mixed Sale for $30,000, Mistda was consigned to the sale by her breeders, Vivien and Henry Malloy, who foaled the filly at their beautiful Edition Farm in Clinton Corners, New York. The talented filly is by champion and champion-siring Runaway Groom and is the second New York-bred foal from Tanuki, an Affirmed mare that Vivien Malloy purchased for $35,000 at Keeneland's 1999 January mixed sale. Tanuki is a half-sister to multiple graded winner Mz. Zill Bear ($740,423). Dutrow signed the $50,000 purchase slip for Mistda at last May's Fasig-Tipton Midlantic two year-old in training sale held in Timonium, Maryland. The talented filly has now earned $150,396 in 9-career starts for her owners, Michael J. Casper, Vincent S. Scuderi, Robert Jocelyn and Carmen Gargano.

(6/14) NY-Bred Miney's Awesome Wins
Mountaineer Allowance Feature by 5 1/2

Last August, mile-winning New York-bred MINEY'S AWESOME proved she could sprint 5 1/2 furlongs by winning a Mountaineer
co-feature allowance by 9 1/2 lengths, but in Mountaineer's featured N2X allowance mile for fillies and mares, three-year-olds and up, on Monday evening, June 14, she looked equally effective going two turns. Favored at 2-to-1 among nine starters for the off-the-turf contest over a muddy main track, the four-year-old filly broke on top under jockey Chad Murphy and held a length margin over 5-to-1
third choice Nine Tu Tu's before drawing off to win by 5 1/2 lengths. Overtaking Nine Tu Tu's to place second was 2.60-to-1 second choice Speak Out, a $162,132-earning daughter of New York-bred Grade 1 winner Victory Speech. The tally improved the record of Miney's Awesome to 3 - 2 - 2 in 13 starts and marked her second Mountaineer win under jockey Murphy, who had been on board for her 5 1/2-furlong August score and has ridden the filly in five races, including her last two consecutive starts.

Owned by L. T. B., Inc. and Dr. Naveed Chowhan and trained by Bernard Flint, Miney's Awesome had gone gate-to-wire to win a one-mile Turfway maiden special by two lengths early in her three-year-old season, and her record in five efforts at a mile on dirt is 2 - 1 - 2. The bay filly's 9 1/2-length tally going 5 1/2 furlongs under Murphy last summer had been her last outing for almost eight months, and in her second start off her 2003-2004 layoff she had finished fourth under Murphy in a six-furlong Mountaineer allowance on April 25. During a subsequent 43-day layoff leading up to Monday evening's effort, trainer Flint had given Miney's Awesome three moderate five-furlong workouts at Churchill Downs.

The daughter of 1998 Breeders' Cup Classic winner Awesome Again was bred by the Edition Farm in Waccabuc of Vivien and Henry Malloy and is among six winners produced from multiple stakes winner Mine Tonight ($254,844), by Upper Nile. She is a half-sister to New York-bred stakes winners Pooska Hill ($390,701) and Minetonightsfirst and to New York-bred stakes-placed winner Mine'spro ($159,109) plus New York-bred three-time sprint winner Susan McGrath ($125,120). Vivien Malloy had purchased dam Mine Tonight -- a half-sister to two stakes winners, including a Grade 1 producer -- for $300,000 at Keeneland's 1999 November sale when the mare was carrying Miney's Awesome. Malloy also had purchased Mine Tonight as a three-year-old for $50,000 at a 1986 Fasig-Tipton Belmont paddock sale before that filly had gone on to become a multiple stakes winner and Malloy's racing partners had bought out ownership in her.

(6/4) NY-bred Then She Laughs
romps by 10 1/4 in Monmouth allowance

Although still eligible for New York-bred restricted N1X and N2X allowance conditions, Vincent Papandrea's THEN SHE LAUGHS shipped to Monmouth after finishing fourth in Belmont's $113,600 Bouwerie Stakes for New York-bred three-year-old fillies on May 16, winning a $39,000 N1X allowance by 10 1/4 lengths on Friday, June 4. Favored at 1.60-to-1 among the six filly starters, three-year-olds and up, and race-ridden for the first time by Catalino Martinez, the bay filly set the pace throughout, clocking eye-opening fractions of 21.58, 44.50, and 57-flat before reaching the wire in a winning time of 1:09.34. The victory boosted her earnings by $23,400 to $63,140 while improving her record to 2 - 0 - 2 in seven starts. Trained by Martin Ciresa, Then She Laughs had run in the Bouwerie in her first start following a 24-week layoff, going off as the 54.75-to-1 eighth choice among 11 starters. She had broken her maiden in gate-to-wire fashion last July at Belmont in her first start, scoring by 3 1/4 lengths at 5 1/2 furlongs.

Bred by the Edition Farm of Henry and Vivien Malloy of Waccabuc of Hyde Park, the three-year-old filly is by Distorted Humor, who also has sired New York-bred graded winners Funny Cide and Go Rockin' Robin. She did not meet her $17,000 reserve at Fasig-Tipton's 2002 Saratoga preferred New York-bred yearling sale and was acquired privately by Papandrea. Then She Laughs is the fourth offspring and among four winners produced from multiple stakes-placed winner Dances With Quack ($102,947), who is by Sovereign Dancer. Edition Farm (through Vivien Malloy) had purchased Dances With Quack for $40,000 at Keeneland's 2001 January mixed sale when she was carrying Then She Laughs, who arrived just two months later that year on March 13. Dances With Quack is a half-sister to Grade 3-placed winner Strike It Smart and is out of multiple stakes winner Quack Call.
