Winning Weekend!
This past weekend was a fine one for the stable with a couple of lovely winners in an across-the-card double.
Godolphin’s 3-year-old Tapit colt, Lidstrom, broke his maiden at the third time of asking Saturday with a tidy victory under Charlie Marquez at Laurel Park. This was a nice performance from the well-bred colt, who looks as though he’s still got more improvement in him.
Over at Meadowlands, CJ Thoroughbreds’ Buff’s In Love, a warrior of a 6-year-old mare, claimed her second win this year under a good ride by Isaac Castillo. Buff’s In Love was subsequently claimed out of the stable, however.
