Ridgmont-bred 2YO I Am Dirty is a stakes winner at her third start! Congratulations to the Salagics, @BBakerRacing, and @ClarkeBstock who knew she was special from the day she was born. Great to share the day at the races with co-breeder Cathy Aspinall.
The last time Rothfire won a G1, only 20 patrons were trackside. It was June 2020 - 2170 days ago - and it was the early days of the COVID pandemic.
The Doomben crowd will more than make up for it today. As @jdkayll asked, has any horse had as long a gap between two G1 wins?
Ridgmont-bred 2YO I Am Dirty (I Am Invincible x Dirty Thoughts) won impressively at Gosford today at her second start after showing plenty of promise at the trials. A great result for @BBakerRacing, @ClarkeBstock and Ken Salagic who purchased her from our draft last year at @mmsnippets.

Alongside @BBakerRacing and @ClarkeBstock, we were excited to tap back into the family of our champion mare Stefi Magnetica in purchasing the Ole Kirk x Euphoric Summer filly from the Inglis Classic Sale.
Apollo Ridge wins today at Wyong with a tough on-pace effort. The first foal we bred from Light Up The Room, he is one we’ve always had a soft spot for. Congratulations to @archibaldracing and connections.
