Yes by West

Truxton Stables has doubled in size! We claimed Yes by West in the 4th race at Churchill Downs today for $15,000. She finished a disappointing 6th place to run her career record to 7-1-0-1 with $28,688 in earnings.  She broke her maiden in her debut at Churchill Downs as a 2yo and her career has been downhill ever since. Hopefully we can turn things around. We will ship her to Philadelphia Park to run for their slot infused purses. A $15,000 claiming race for non-winners of two lifetime carries a purse of $23k at Philly Park as compared to $15k at Churchill Downs.

We bought Yes by West to race but she has an interesting pedigree. She is by Yes It's True (Bold Ruler line) out of the Play Fellow mare Western Cowgirl. Play Fellow won a handful of Grade I races despite being obscurely bred. Yes by West is inbred 3x3 to Clever Trick and devoid of Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer.

I'll keep you updated as I learn more about our new filly.

    You broken down old horse player! You can't pick your own nose handicapping and now you are spending your kids lunch money on trying to pick horses to buy? Oh the humanity. Oh Theresa and the kids. Why don't you start with buying dogs for the races in West Memphis, Arkansas and try and work your way up?

      Unfortunately they don't run claiming races for dogs.
