September 21, 2007 Good News! Mojo Racing Partners is pleased to announce that we have a new addition to the Mojo Stable!
Hip #3950 - a lovely Bay Filly by Chapel Royal out of Pleasing Prospect (by Mr. Prospector). She's very correct in her confirmation (top-to-bottom - front-to-back); has a nice shoulder; a smart head; and a confident disposition. She was born on May 3, 2006. Our Trainer is pleased with our Filly's balanced look, and on an intersting note (while looking through her pedigree), John mentioned that when he was w/ Bob Baffert, they trained one of her grandam's stakes winners - Favorite Funtime. Our new Filly's sire, Chapel Royal, is a multiple graded stakes winner who now stands at Ashford Stud (so we're adding to the Coolmore collection).

For now, our lass will stay a night or two at Honeysuckle Farm (the turnout farm), and then she'll ship to Diamond D Ranch. Of course, once she gets in, we'll give her a big If you're interested in owning a share of this Filly and would like to become a Mojo Partner, visit our Current Offering page.

Courtney and Woody made it to the Bluegrass State safe and sound, and they are settling in to their new home at HighPointe Farm and Training Center. Here are a few pics of both Runners and HighPointe:
