GREEN TEAM ACTIVATES IN OCALA

Len and Lois Green DJ Stable celebrated a big win last Friday as their intern Mark Casse Wonder Wheel (Into Mischief) cemented himself as one of the favorite contenders for GI Breeders. ‘Cup Juvenile Fillies with a stunning score in the GI Darley Alcibiades of Keeneland, and the team returned on Tuesday to add to their 2-year-old roster for next year. In total, the DJ bought the first five for a total of $590,000, including two $210,000 players.

“Our expectation is to always try and find value,” DJ general manager Jon Green said when asked if last week’s win had anything to do with Tuesday’s performance. “We have people who look at every sale for us with the idea that if the horse falls within the price range that we anticipate that we will go ahead and strike. It’s really a matter of value, and we feel like the horses we picked up in this sale, though they aren’t expensive by any stretch, they represent value. of sports and the genealogy they possess. “

The Greens also bought $600,000 Curlin colt topper at the beginning of this year’s breeding season at Fasig-Tipton in July.

The first of their high-priced purchases on Tuesday was a Mitole colt consigned by Bobby Jones Equine LLC, Agent II as an agent. hip 122. The breed bred in Florida is the first of a bunch of underrated ponies Uncle Mo half-brother to class/group winners Giant Gizmo (Giant’s Causeway), Eons (Giant’s Causeway) and Tableaux (Giant’s Causeway) and to the MGSW Cheermeister (Bodemeister) dam.

“The reason why we’re as high as we did at Mitole colt is that he doesn’t look like the typical sprinter you’d expect from a sprinter,” Green said. withdraw championship as Mitole. “He was bred 3×3 with the Indian Charlie and he looks like he will be a large 16.3 pony once grown up. So for us, that’s the appeal of getting a horse that can have the footwork and speed that Mitole has had in his career, but still have the range to go two turns like This pony can do and like his family female suggests he should. “

Green also noted that the DJ bought a Mitole colt at Keeneland in September after he ARN for $190,000, “but we could outbid four or five other people.”

Also among DJ’s acquisitions is a Factor (hip 150) who received a timely genealogical update when her half-sister Delight was 2 years old (Mendelssohn) is disturbed in GII Jessamine S. a race against Alcibiades. Delight was sold for $90,000 at this auction 12 months ago and then for $400,000 at OBS March with a sparkling breeze (10.1) and gallop. Like the previous Delight, hip 150 was consigned by Stuart Morris.

“It’s a combination of things,” Green said when asked about how much the girl’s $210,000 pedigree is and how much is material. “Mark Casse, who is going to train her, has, in his opinion, considered her the leading bad guy in the sale. We were really there when Delight won the Jessamine at Keeneland and I was just so impressed with her on stage – with her demeanor – and we were one of many who underestimated her at OBS March. [Trainer] Jonathan Thomas has done a great job of campaigning for her and I fully predict that Delight will be successful in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, and if so, it will also be a huge update for her. this joke. “

The third juvenile-connected DJ group is tied by the Breeders’ Trophy in GI TVG Del Mar Debutante S. and GII heroine Chandelier S. And Tell Me Nolies (Arrogate), whom they bought for a price. $70,000 as a short-lived KEEJAN recommended by bloodline agent Kim Valerio and later sold for $230,000 at OBS April.

“The team started with Kim Valerio,” Green said. “She was excellent at finding athletes for us. Kim has a lot of years of industry experience in various aspects and she is used to working with end users like us and knows the things we can live with for example pinhookers. Kim did a great job finding these athletes and providing us with a short list, then it’s up to our coaches to pick the short list and narrow it down even more, but I must say that the majority of the horses on Kim’s short list, our trainers concur and feel confident in checking and then bidding and buying. “

The DJ will be looking for a second Breeders’ Cup Juvenile fill (Jaywalk, 2018) title next month, and Green said all systems work: “Wonder Wheel, knock on wood, excel in the race. We fully expect her to compete and run well in the Breeders Cup. I’ve said before in other interviews, and as silly as it sounds, Spinaway (where the Wonder Wheel came in second as favorites on September 4th) is 1st in Saratoga, so you’d think it will be very high on everyone’s list for trying to win it. But our goal was to set her up for the Alcibiades and then the Breeders’ Cup, so on one hand we were a bit disappointed to come in second, but we didn’t squeeze the limes for that race. We’re really trying to make sure she has two more big races in her arsenal and I think she’s set to do a great one.”
