SEATTLE FITZ has scored another impressive winner at Churchill Downs. The long awaited John Kelly broke his maiden in his 2nd start in late June in Maiden Special Weight Company. After assuming a stalking position in the 6 furlong event, the dark bay/brown colt took over leaving the turn and drew away to a 2 ½ length victory. John Kelly is owned by William K. Warren, Jr. and trained by David Carroll. Ridden to victory by jockey Corey Lanerie, the colt was bred in Kentucky by Doug Arnold, Glasscock Financial, LLC & Bert Blieden. He sold for $600,000 at the 2008 Barrett’s March 2 Year Old in Training Sale.

Buck Pond stallion SEATTLE FITZ notched his 2nd stakes winner from only 37 foals in his 1st crop. HOLLY’S WAY won the 3rd running of the Malvern Rose S. at Presque Isle Downs in June. The dark/brown filly was bred in Pennsylvania by long-time Buck Pond friend E. H. “Beau” Lane, III. Owned and by Lane and trainer Richard L. Beattie, Jr., Holly’s Way settled in mid-pack early, commenced her rally on the turn for home, split rivals mid-stretch and prevailed by ½ a length in the 6 ½ furlong event. Congratulations to all the connections.
