Global Glide and Classic Lane new winners!
Pro Equine USA has performed yearling evaluations for many years now,
mainly for Jimmy W Takter. In recent years, we have added Brittany Farm and
Marvin Katz/Al Libfeld as our valued clients. Even if the art of yearling
evaluations is not an exact science, by any means, we have been lucky to
recommend some youngsters to our clients, that has developed into prominent
stars. Some has been expensive yearlings, some has been real bargains. This
weekend, two former bargains showed their best side again. Global Glide was a
$6000 yearling and has been standing stud in Sweden for the past two years,
after a genuine US career, but has returned to racing this year. Global Glide
travelled to the very north of Sweden yesterday and won impressively Norrbottens
Stora Pris, which included the Elitlopp contenders Scarlet Aino and
Sundons Gift, among others. Global Glide has now earned $616 000, and it looks
like he can add a substantial amount to that number, if he stays healthy.
Classic Lane was a $15 000 yearling purchase by Bud Hatfield and raced for him
as a 2 and 3 year old. She was a very nice 3 year old and has now returned to
winning form, for the new owners, The Tuckers of New Jersey . Yesterday, she won
the Classic final at Mohawk Raceway and raised her lifetime earnings to
$495 945.
In other news, baby races are on the way and we look forward to find out what
last years purchases will do.

Back from
Sweden!
Just back from a
great trip to Sweden. Visited top trainers Ake Svanstedt(who won the Elitlopp)
and Roger Walmann. Both Trainers had some very nice two yearolds,among them
where some from the first crop of Ken Warkentin. I saw two of them training and
they looked awesome! Just like in the States and Canada, the reports in
Europe are great, when it comes to the first crop of Ken Warkentin.
Also went to
Broline International stud farm and saw more of Ken Warkentin's offspring along
with some of the first foals of Quite Easy (Andover Hall-Marita's Victory. Ken
Warkentin and Quite Easy are both very popular. Broline's latest acquisition,
Celebrity Secret looked great and is in demand by the European breeders as
well. A long legged son of Yankee Glide, that beat Deweycheatumnhowe, should be
very attractive during the upcoming years.
The Elitlopp
itself, is am amazing experience and this year most things went the Swede's way.
The weather was awesome, the arrangements was praised by all and the Swedish
horses dominated. My favorite, Buck I St Pat, made an unfortunate break before
the start and never got a chance..
If you ever get a
chance to visit Stockholm, the last Sunday in May, this
is a part of what you will experience...

Ken Warkentin's full
brother sold!
Dean Hoffman is a 3-yearold
full brother to Ken Warkentin. He has shown a lot of ability, but have not lived
up to the expectations yet. Pro Equine USA have now sold Dean Hoffman to
Norwegian interests and he will shortly leave for Norway. Hopefully, he will
perform up to his ability, with some time and a different environment. Dean
Hoffman will be trained by Norway's leading trainer, Trond Anderssen.
May 29 2007
Top horse sold!
Pro Equine USA Inc. have sold
50% of the 3 year old colt Quite Easy (Andover Hall-Marita's Victory-Valley
Victory), to Swedish interests. Quite Easy is probably the best bred colt out
there and of course a tremendously interesting stallion prospect. Being out of
the top mare Marita's Victory, who is a full sister to the fantastic Passionate
Glide, Quite Easy is the best bred colt by the sensational Andover Hall. The
colt have qualified in an impressive manner early this season, and seems to have
wintered well. In his last qualifier he finished second to top colt Donato
Hanover, but John Campbell was unable to turn him loose, since he was hitting
the race bike. In the qualifier before, Quite Easy won handily in 1:54.4.
Donato Hanover looks
like the colt to beat this season too, but Quite Easy hope for a great season as
well.
May 21 2007
Spring update!
Springtime is here and the
Grand Circuit season is on its way. Takter Stable seem to have a nice group of
three year olds lined up. A couple of pacers have already won in a nice manner
and a number impressive trotters have qualified. Among the most
impressive qualifiers this year, belongs to Quite Easy. The colt by Andover Hall
out of Marita's Victory won his qualifier in 1.54.4 with a lot to spare. His dam
is a full sister to Passionate Glide. On track is also last years super star
Pampered Princess, who has qualified in a solid way. Solveigs brother Rune and
Blurs brother Don't Blink Twice, looks great as well. The filly Those Blue
Eyes,was impressive in her seasonal debut, parked the whole way and still
managed to stay in for second.
Among Takter Stable's two
year olds, we can report that the Kadabra's still is training strong, they have
a number of Yankee Glide's ,Andover Hall's, Muscle Yankee's, Angus Hall's and
Credit Winner's, that are doing well. In addition a very strong group of pacers
and a colt by Like A Prayer, a filly by SJ's Caviar, a filly by Striking Sahbra,
a colt by Lindy Lane and a filly by Donerail, are among the promising ones. On
top of that, Takter is training the full sister to World Champion Going Kronos
and she is very impressive. Lantern Kronos is staked from late summer and on.
In other news, we are happy
to report that a number of stallions that was selected by Pro Equine USA as
yearlings, has started out in a popular manner. Chipmate is very popular in
Denmark, after a great start with his first crop. Stand Strong is booking well
in Norway, Capetown Hall is doing good in Finland and Victory Abroad is
producing winners in Sweden. New stallions in Sweden are Global Glide and
Muscles Memory, both got great reviews and are booking very strong. In North
America and Europe, the reports are very strong about Ken Warkentin's
first crop, which now is on it's way. Great withers ,a slanted rear end, long
legs and a beautiful head are some of the words that describe most of them. Ken
Warkentin is booking really well again, and is on track to breed around 200
mares again this year, in North America and Europe. If you are interested in
booking him, you should act now!
March update!
Keeping an eye on the
powerful stable of Jimmy Takter, during their winter training in New Jersey.
This year , it seems to be a wide variety of two year olds, that are impressive.
One of the most interesting youngsters is the big powerful son of Andover Hall
and out of Jimmy's winner of The Hambletonian Oaks, Southwind Allaire. As
always, Jimmy have several colts and fillies by Yankee Glide that looks very
interesting. Four Kadabra's have trained really well during the winter and
hopefully, they will perform on the track as well. Jimmy have one very
interesting colt by Like A Prayer, a few nice Angus Halls and a group of Muscle
Yankee offsprings that should be interesting. To round out the trotters, there
is a full sister to world champion Going Kronos and a Self Possessed daughter of
the great Moni Maker...
On the pacingside ,there is a
group of fillies and colts, that should make an inpact ,as well.
The three year olds are
coming back strong and Pampered Princess and Quiet Easy looks very, very sharp!
In other news, the reports
about new Ken Warkentin foals keep coming in. I have seen pictures of a few and
they looked awesome. Book now!
February 13 2007
February update!
Went to South Florida to take
a peek at the winter training. Of course there where many interesting
youngsters, this time of year. There has been many good reports about the first
crop of Kadabra. Several trainers have reported that they like the Kadabra's
gait, power and soundness. Have heard this from Italy, Sweden, Canada, New
Jersey and Florida. Luckily , Pro Equine USA owns a yearling colt out of a great
family...In other news, the first foals by Ken Warkentin starts to show up and
the reports are very good. I am interested to here from owners of foals by him,
during this spring. As an outstanding son of Yankee Glide, we are looking
forward to see what he will do. It is now time to book your mare to Ken
Warkentin, remember his book was full and closed early last year!

Limbo Glide sold for $160
000!
Mondays mixed sale brought a
nice crowd to the Meadowlands. As usual, quality horses where in demand and
prices reflected the optimistic market. Brood mares, young stock, stallion
shares and racehorses all sold well. Takter Stable sold Limbo Glide, the 4 year
old Yankee Glide son who last year won the Old Oaken Bucket in an impressive
manner. The sellers where Misty Trotting of Sweden and Christina Takter ,who are
concentrating on 2 and 3 year olds. As a top prospect for the free for all class
at Yonkers and other tracks, Limbo Glide brought $160 000. With his looks,
pedigree and past performances, he should also be interesting as a stallion
prospect, when his racing days are over.

Seasonal stallion

Peter Forsberg visits
Jimmy W Takter Stable!
Philadelphia Flyers Captain
Peter Forsberg and his father Kent have a genuine interest in harness racing.
They currently own several horses in Sweden and have had a couple of really good
ones. Their newest acquisition is World champion Adrian Chip, by Andover Hall.
Many athletes has been involved in harness racing , like Europe's first NHL
player Ulf Sterner (New York Ranger), Mats Naslund (Montreal Canadiens), Mats
Sundin (Toronto Maple Leafs) and many more.
November 14 2006
Back from the sales!
Harness racing in the US, is
more powerful than ever. Just back from 3 months of examining yearlings , on
behalf of top trainer Jimmy W Takter and the very successful Brittany Farms.
Prices on yearlings are sky
rocketing ,people want to be a part of a business with high earning potential
and a bright future. Slots seems to have fueled the interest as we hoped and
there is a fair chance for owners to get some economy in their horse business.
This reflects on the breeders ,as well. They sell yearlings at good prices and
reinvest in brood mares and stallions. This gives owners a chance to sell their
stock, once they are done racing and reinvest in new yearlings. It is a
necessary merry-go-round.
Our #1 customer, for 9 years
now, Jimmy W Takter is having his best year ever on the track, which reflects on
his and his owners investments at the sales this year. 37 yearlings was
bought for an estimated $ 3 000 000. Amazingly the Takter barn has been showing
profits for many years now, counting investments, costs for training and
staking. The funds earned by the Takter barn ,together with the value of the
horses has been in excess of costs for many years now. No wonder, that owners
stand in line to be a part of Takter Stable.
We hope for a successful
2007, as well!
11 Sept 2006
Time to look at yearlings!
It is the time of year,
when the yearling sales are held. The first one is being held today at The New
Jersey Horse Park. Since Pro Equine USA offers the service of examining
yearlings for customers, it is really busy times right now. I will attend
today's sale and then continue my tour of all the large consignors/farms ,to be
prepared for the upcoming sales in Lexington and Harrisburg. I can be reached on
my cell phone 1-609-481-5801, or via e-mail :
info@proequineusa.com . It is also
the time of year to contact me, if you have an interest in buying a stallion,
broodmare , racehorse or a green two year old. Most owners prefer to sell at
this time and reinvest in yearlings.
16 Aug 2006
Pro Equine sold filly!
Just before The
Hambletonian ,Pro Equine USA Inc. sold the filly Nahimana to Swedish interests.
Nahimana is a 2-year old filly by Andover Hall who is having a great start to
his breeding career . The filly has a great pedigree and the new owner is to be
congratulated since the dam is a Super Bowl sister to the dam of Glidemaster!
16 Aug 2006
The Meadowlands closes
with great racing!
Harness racing at the
Meadowlands 2006 was great .Yankee Glide was victorious in both The Hambletonian
and The Hambletonian Oaks. Glidemaster was impressive and won fair and square.
Passionate Glide was not 100% but won a well deserved victory in the Oaks, a
class act as she is, she only used a portion of her great ability and still won.
Many congratulations to Brittany Farms and George Segal, who own both. Well
deserved credit to the trainers, Blair Burgess and Jimmy W Takter for a fabulous
job with these two horses. It was also great to see Chocolatier, as the great
horse he is, finishing second in the Hambo. Donato Hanover by Andover Hall
was all by himself when he won the Peter Haughton Memorial. Credit to Jim
Oscarsson of Sweden who came over from Sweden and finished second in the Merrie
Annabel with his Self Possessed-filly Ironmaid Volo.
July 21 2006
Busy Times!
Harness racing in the US, is
on a roll right now. Fantastic three year olds and promising two year olds are
coming from everywhere. Among horses that are extra interesting, we see a number
of nice two year olds by Andover Hall. It seems like we have a new top
stallion on our hands. Both colts and fillies seem to show up and a high demand
for his offspring is expected at the upcoming yearling sales. Donato Hanover(D
Train) looks like a potential Peter Haughton winner. Pampered Princess(Bold
Dreamer) was awesome in her only start. Top two year old right now, is Possess
The Magic (Self Possessed) , trained by new Hall of Famer Ron Gurfein. She is in
a class by her self right now and looks exceptional .The three year olds are
also headed by a filly. Passionate Glide (Yankee Glide) haven't lost yet this
year and is the heavy favorite to The Hambletonian Oaks. The three year old
colts are strong this year, but the Hambletonian is somewhat open right now.
Chocolatier (Credit Winner) has showed more speed than anyone, but seems
to be plagued by soreness . Trond Smedshammer has three top colts: Mr Pine Chip
(SJ's Caviar), Here Comes Herbie(Credit Winner) and Blue McLad( Muscles Yankee).
Jimmy Takters two colts Capetown Hall (Garland Lobell) and Global Glide(
Yankee Glide) are getting sharper every week. Also the high speed horse
Glidemaster(Yankee Glide) deserves attention, and could step up in time for the
Hambo. Good Luck to everybody!
06 July 2006
Scarlet Knights brother to
Pro Equine!
Pro Equine just bought the
4-yearold brother to the Hambletonian-winner Scarlet Night. By Muscles Yankee,
Red Williams has not lived up to the high expectations that the previous owner
has had on him, only showed signs of high speed. Red Williams is a big, dark,
good looking stallion, with a great attitude. We decided to take a chance
on him and hopefully he comes around with time. Should be the right type of
horse for Europe, if things work out.
29 June 2006
Pro Equine sells winners!
During the last two decades,
we have sold many horses that have gone on to be successful, either on the
racetrack or in the breeding shed. This week, there have been four winners so
far. They are: Bal Harbor (Pine Chip) and Giant Park (Muscles Yankee) in Norway,
Cassoulet (Yankee Glide) and Simb From Abroad (Victory Abroad) in Sweden. We
congratulate the owners and wish them continued good luck! Also sold by Pro
Equine ,is the FFA trotter Stand Strong( Muscles Yankee), that qualified in a
nice way yesterday. Stand Strong has showed top potential earlier and we hope
that Ake Svanstedt have been able to improve him just a touch more and he should
do very well in the European elite.
23 June 2006
Passionate Glide awesome!
Last night at the
Meadowlands, Jimmy Takters star , Passionate Glide, showed her class by winning
the New Jersey Sirestakes-final, in a blistering 1:52.4, a new stakes record.
Passionate Glide looked like she was on cruise control, when she crossed the
wire, 5 and half lengths ahead of Queen Serene and Simple Task. In other news,
Takters large barn of youngsters, has started to move in a big way. There has
been a number of nice performers at the babyraces. A couple of colts that looks
great right now is: Photomaxx (SJ's Photo), Peyton Way (Conway Hall), Heaven
Broline (Victory Abroad) and Quiet Easy (Andover Hall).
Kentuckiana Farms report that
Pro Equine USA's two broodmares Nahimana and Bravura Hanover, both are in foal
to Ken Warkentin. Ken Warkentins book was closed at 150 mares, but due to high
fertility, the book was reopened late and the total numbers of mares bred,
should be over 200 (The US, Canada and Europe), by now.
11 June 2006
Busy Week!
The harness season is heating
up. Lots of travel , to keep an eye on all the debuting stakes prospects. Last
years top two year old filly, Passionate Glide, made her comeback an impressive
win. Last night, Chocolatier made his comeback but made a break, and did not
look his best. Impressive winner was Algiers Hall ,while the other elimination
winner Kelso inherited the win, when Majestic Son made a break at the wire. Pro
Equine USA Inc. currently have several top colts for sale, that has made
impressive comebacks already. Contact us today!
The baby races at the
Meadowlands are always interesting to watch. This year Andover Hall has his
first crop on the track, and so far, they have not been disappointing. Several
colts have made impressive debuts, and the most impressive one so far, is Donato
Hanover, out of D Train. Another colt that seems to have the right potential is
Around And Over, out of Ashleys Carousel. Ray Schnittker also have a good one in
Commander Tad, out of Yankee Mischief.
Next week will be a step up
in the number of babyraces contested, when many of the top trainers will start
to babyrace. They are held two times at the Meadowlands and also at Gaitway
farm.

Solveig wins again!
Jimmy W Takter's top mare
Solveig won today an Open event at The Poconos. She got a nice trip and
responded well when Jimmy pulled her. The mare won easy in 1:54.4f . This was
the fifth win of the year for Solveig, who seem to enjoy the life as an aged
performer. In addition, her fullbrother Rune was at the Meadowlands last week
along with 18 other two year olds in the Takter barn. Rune is one of the most
promising colts in the barn.
26 May 2006
Stars are qualifying!
A strong group of trotters
qualified yesterday at the Meadowlands. The track was not in the best of shape,
again. Fortunately , we hear good things about the track on race days. Among the
high quality trotters that raced yesterday was last years standout filly Passionate
Glide, who cruised to victory for her trainer Jimmy W Takter in 1:58. Takter
also qualified Flamingo Bingo with a 9 length win, in 1:58.1. The top colt
Global Glide looked great for Takter, but was run over in the first
turn...Another top colt out of the same barn is Capetown Hall, who is pointed to
The Hambletonian and, according to plans ,was driven conservatively by Jimmy W
Takter. Takter Stable also qualified Limbo Glide, Trampledunderfoot and the
pacing filly West Side Glory, in a nice manner. Other notable qualifiers today
was Strong Yankee, Here Comes Herbie, Queen Serene, Race Fan, Eilean Donon, Make
You Mine and Ronnie Gurfein's Miss Wisconsin, who finished second to Flamingo
Bingo. Last years top colt Chocolatier qualified today in an improved way, the
time was 1:59.1. The 2006 season is ready to begin!
On the international side,
Swedens famous Elitlopp is coming up this weekend. Several American horses has
been invited, but no one has excepted, for various reasons. Canada is
represented by Snazzy Millie and Rick Zeron. Justice Hall raced well in his
first overseas start in Finland, but was never in contention in his Norvegian
start. He was therefore not invite to the Elitlopp, but will race the day
before( Saturday) in the Sweden Cup-race. All races can be viewed minutes after
they are contested ,on the swedish site www.atg.se.
Good Luck to everyone!
17 May 2006
Two year olds in training!
Takter Stable normally shows
up with a strong group of young horses each year, and I am happy to report that
this years group of two year olds looks amazing, at this point. A lot can change
with a young horse, but it is important that they have shown gait ,speed,
attitude, strength and the right attitude by now. Among the two year olds in
this years group are 7 from the first crop of Andover Hall. There is colts out
of Blue Ridge Girl (Blur), Marita's Victory , Thrill Hill and Lady Ironsides.
Fillies out of Victory My Way, Bold Dreamer and Armbro Fern. These horses have
definitively shown a lot of talent and we hope that they will be an asset to the
barn during this upcoming season. There are two promising colts by the the full
brother to Continentalvictory , Victory Abroad who stands in Sweden where he has
a real star in his first crop, the filly Useful Hornline. One colt is out of
Minx Hanover( Syrinx Hanover) and the other one is out of Maggie Bloom( Spoon
Hornline in Sweden, the family of Delmonica Hanover). Both colts have shown
speed and the right attitude and should race well here in the US. Other possible
top performers definitively include the full brother to Solveig( Yankee
Glide), the full brother to Ken Warkentin( Yankee Glide), a colt by Conway Hall(
brother to Boom), two fillies by Conway Hall (one is a sister to Dream Vacation
, one is out of Mars Bar) , a filly by Muscles Yankee (out of a sister to
Striking Sahbra), a colt by SJ's Photo (out of the family of Bonefish), two by
SJ's Caviar( a brother to Twin B Senorita and a filly out of the family of
Rafaello Ambrosio). In addition there is a great group by Yankee Glide, a colt
out of Charisse Hanover, a filly out of Emelie Cas El and another filly out of
Pining For You. During the last couple of years , Jimmy W Takter has trained a
few pacers with great results and the group of two year olds this year, looks
like a solid group of promising horses. We will update this website during the
season, so please stop by again!
17 May 2006
The action is heating up!
Stakes season is here! Takter
Stable is really on the move and a few horses have already started their season.
On Sunday May 15th, a great bred filly made her racing debut. The three year old
filly Simple Task is a full sister to the top filly Silver Springs and is also
the sister to two winners of the Norwegian Kriterium. Simple Task won her debut
in 1:56.1 in a strong manor and sure looks like a contender this year. Last year
was ruined by severe allergies and we sure hope that she stays healthy this
year. Another interesting horse is Muscle Memory who finished third in last
years Hambletonian, as well as in the World Trotting Derby. He has now qualified
in 1:55.0 and is ready to race. He would have to grow into the free for all
competition and should be ready for great things, a few months from now. Muscle
Memory is a very good looking son of Muscles Yankee and will be an addition to
the US breeding scene, when his racing career is over. That will hopefully be a
few years from now. Muscle Memory is a horse that would suite the European
circuit, so that might be an option for him as well. Takter Stable is currently
qualifying most of their three year olds, so they should be ready for their
upcoming stakes. Last years top horses Passionate Glide, Flamingo Bingo, Global
Glide and Capetown Hall are coming back great, but are being matched
towards the biggest races of the year. The three year old pacer colt Mr Feelgood
won his qualifier in 1:52.2 and defeated several of last years top colts. Among
pacing fillies, Takter Stable have the fast filly Arts Temptress who looks like
a contender this year.
10 May 2006
Derby report!
Back from the greatest
horserace in the world, The Kentucky Derby. As a first time visitor, it is
impressive to watch the arrangement ,peoples expectations, the high class of
horses and the record crowd of 157 000! In the harnessracing industry, we have a
long way to go. Great races I have visited, like The Little Brown Jug, The
Hambletonian, The Elitlopp and The Prix D'Amerique are the closest that we come
to Kentucky Derby, but they are not the same. I strongly recommend to take the
trip to Louisville, Kentucky , if there is ever a chance. This years Derby
winner Barbaro was an impressive winner and is still undefeated.
2 May 2006
We have buyers!
We are currently looking for
a top three year old trotter, with a proven race record and a chance to reach
the top in 2006. We also have customers on a very talented trotting two year
old. As always, there is a great demand for trotters , from our European
customers ,as well. This week is Kentucky Derby-weekend and I will be attending,
so my next update will be next week.
26 April 2006
Solveig keeps winning!
The top trotting mare Solveig,
won again last night. This time at The Poconos, Solveig cruised to victory by 3
lengths. The time of the mile was an impressive 1:55.0 on a 5/8's track!
Solveig was a standout two year old and has proven that she can withstand the
pressure and develop as an aged horse. Solveig has several older brothers that
have performed well, but she also have a two year old brother called Rune, that
shows great promise and could be one of this years top performers.
25 April 2006
Foaling news!
Kentuckiana Farms reports
that Bravura Hanover has foaled a very nice colt by Kadabra. Long legs, light
bones and a nice head. Bravura Hanover is a stakes winning sister to World
Champion Imperfection $932,331. The maternal family is the same as: Rosemary
$223,647, Royal Prestige $ 1,234,279, Almost An Angel $959,695, Lovelytobehold
$443,928, Fluttering Wings $303,571, Count The Goal $521,007, Mr Commissioner
(Norway) and the top mare Stroke Play( Yankee Glide) $ 1,171,649.Bravura Hanover
is being bred to Ken Warkentin( Yankee Glide) this year, to create the same
cross as in Stroke Play. Bravura Hanover and the colt is owned by Pro Equine USA
Inc. We also own the filly Nahimana, who is a 2-year old, that was bought to be
bred to Ken Warkentin, as well. Nahimana is a late foal and a big good looking
filly. Basically, she was too immature to race as a two year old. Her pedigree
is extremely interesting, since she is a daughter of the hot Andover Hall and
out of a sister to the dam of last years sensation Glidemaster( Yankee Glide).
The cross to Ken Warkentin will hopefully create a foal with the same
extreme capacity.
17 April 2006
Springtime is here!
Spring is here and it is a
great time for harness racing. Soon , all the three year old Grand Circuit

foals from the first crop of Tom Ridge. Most foals seem to have inherit Tom
Ridge's sleek, streamlined conformation. Nice size and a light classy frame, are
words that describe a lot of them. Tom Ridge is the worlds fastest standardbred,
ever , and there are high hopes in the industry that his foals will inherit his
fathers extreme speed, as well. On Saturday April 8, we went to Blue Chip Farms,
N.Y. to take a look at a newborn colt out of the mare Super Shann. The brother
to Housethatruthbuilt and Master Lavec, looked great already, despite
being just 10 hours old. Congratulations to the owner Celebrity Farms of Goshen,

Solveig wins in 1:54.4f !

Trotting Filly of The Year Solveig , is really coming back strong , as a four
year old. On Wednesday, she won again at Dover Downs in 1:54.4f. Solveig, who
battled sickness at three won the open class and seems to rack up another
impressive strike of fine performances. Solveig is one of the most interesting
broodmare prospects in North America, but right now, it sure looks like she will
continue on the track. We will look forward to seeing her first offspring in the

Takter is doing it
thoroughbred style !
Jimmy Takter is
training his first thoroughbred, this year. It is a two year old colt by Ascot
Night, that Jimmy bought as a yearling, last fall. The colt's name is It's Like
this, and today ,he was breezed for the second time. The colt looked terrific
and very strong. Even though, this is Takter's first thoroughbred and it should
be seen as a test, don't be surprised if It's Like This shows up to compete well
this summer. Takter's horsemanship is well known and should translate well
into the world of thoroughbreds.

Ken Warkentin's book full
and closed!
Kentuckiana Farms reports
that their new exciting stallion Ken Warkentin's book is full and closed. The
tremendous interest that breeders have shown for Ken Warkentin, comes as no
surprise. His father Yankee Glide has had great success and Ken Warkentin is
very much alike him. There is even a few things that could be an extra spice in
Ken's favor, when comparing them. Ken had extreme speed, strength and a
determination to win, like no other horse. Some people think that he was the
best twoyearold ever...His pedigree shows Valley Victory on the maternal and
paternal side, his mentality shows a positive attitude at all times and he will
add class to any broodmare's offspring.
