Mr. Pat Wins at Laurel Park!
EQB and Houyhnhnm Stables' 5 year-old colt Mr. Pat battled both the fierce competition and a muddy, rain-soaked track Wednesday to come out in front in this 1 1/8 mile $27,000 race.
Mr. Pat settled inside and off of a quick early pace, advanced along the rail leaving the far turn, bumped with Colonial Inca entering the lane and dueled inside from the head of the stretch. Mr. Pat valiantly pressed on and continued to exchange bumps and brushes with his rival and got the bob in an extended drive to finish out in front of Colonial Inca by a nose.
Be Wild Again blasts through the competition in his 1st start at Aqueduct!EQB and Houyhnhnm Stables' 3 year-old colt Be Wild Again easily won his 1st start today at Aqueduct. He finished 3 lengths in front in this $41,000, 6 furlong NY-Bred Allowance race.
After being slammed in a collision at the starting gate, Be Wild Again, seemingly unphased, dueled in 22.8, 46.2 at the start of the race. At the final turn, Be Wild Again was so far ahead that Jockey Norberto Arroyo Jr. began to relax him at the last 16th of a mile! Even with all the obstacles, Be Wild Again easily won the race with a time of 1:11.53 — only 2/10ths of a second slower than the fastest 6 furlong open allowance race for older horses of the day!
Congratulations to trainer Billy Turner and Jockey Norberto Arroyo Jr.

In his 1st start, Morph Nabs 2nd Place at Belmont!
 |
| Houyhnhnm Stables' "Morph" took 2nd place at Belmont in his 1st start. | |
|
In his dramatic debut at Belmont’s second race this past Sunday, June 27th, Houyhnhnm Stables’ Morph held the lead and set the fractions at 22 1/5, 45, 56 3/5 before narrowly missing the win.
Despite running on a deep rail while the far more experienced winner came up on the harder, faster crown, Morph beat the next horse by five lengths in what turned out to be the day’s fastest race (against a field of owners and trainers one broadcaster called a “Who’s Who of Racing”). In fact, the race was 2 1/2 seconds faster than the older horses ran at that distance, faster than Belmont's featured stakes race that day.
Hands down, it was a highly promising debut for the robust colt, one that bodes very well for his career. Morph is just one of many promising young thoroughbreds being offered in the
