Smart Choice Stable’s Wood Island sailed from wire-to-wire to remain perfect through two starts and land his first stakes win in Thursday’s $200,000 Skidmore, a 5 1/2-furlong Mellon turf sprint for juveniles, at Saratoga Race Course. ⤵️

The fillies and mares rarely run in open races in NA to show they are the best horse in training even in their age divisions. When they do it’s usually just 1 race.
The classic dirt division is brutally tough every time they go to the gate and there are so many 💵 options to avoid the HOTY contenders.

So cool to have Robert Clark bring Layne and King to life in this amazing painting of her first Grand Prix thanks to his incredible donation to @TBCharities we couldn’t leave without it

@UlwellingRacing @Seaneff @theTDN repro vet when breeding was my reference, training is a whole different story

[Craig Brogden @craigbrogden]

@Seaneff @UlwellingRacing @theTDN A palp is $31 if a vet still knows how to palp, if they need to use the Ultrasound for a palp/scan its on them not being able to palp an ovary with confidence. don't pay them for their lack of skill.

Wood Island gave @spendthriftfarm's Jackie's Warrior his first stakes winner in the Skidmore Stakes Aug. 27, fittingly @Saratoga1863 where the champion sprinter did his best work. Read more: https://t.co/nq49NUxG1o @BH_SCollins

WOOD ISLAND makes it 2-for-2 with a win in the Skidmore Stakes under Flavien Prat for trainer George Weaver.

Wood Island wins the Skidmore Stakes! 🏆

It's only fitting that freshman sire Jackie's Warrior, who stands at @spendthriftfarm, would have his first stakes winner crowned at the same track where he recorded a remarkable FOUR Grade I victories and became the first horse in Saratoga's history to win a Grade I there in three consecutive years.

Wood Island, trained by George Weaver, is one of seven winners from his sire's first crop.
