Legacy Bloodstock Sales grads cleaned up in big races around the U. S. over the first weekend in June, winning or placing in 8 Stakes races.
Keeneland September grad Silent Rule got things started on June 6, rolling to victory in the $100,000 Best of Ohio Diana Stakes. Bred by Joe Cowles T/C Stables, the 4-year-old filly remained unbeaten in her nine career starts.
Two days later on June 8, two more Legacy Bloodstock grads sped to wire-to-wire Stakes victories, Keeneland November grad Mor Victory in the $75,000 Texas Racing Hall of Fame S. and Keeneland September grad Too Much Action in the $75,000 Wayne Hanks Memorial.
Mor Victory, bred by Susan Bedwell, captured his second Stakes trophy for owner Norman Stables and trainer Jayde Gelner while upping his career earnings to $265,571.
The Mike Rutherford-bred Too Much Action is now a 6X Stakes winner of $441,926 for the partnerhip of Jeff & Penny Scott, Bradley Thoroughbreds LLC and Danielle & Parker Ferguson. J. R. Campbell trains the son of Too Much Bling who was purchased from Legacy Bloodstock at Keeneland September.
