A nice article By J.N. Campbell,TDN “The major yearling sales are still a few months out, but to Kristin Brennan they are right around the corner. The yearling manager at Colin Brennan Bloodstock at Highlander Training Center isn't concerned because she's always dialed in. As part of a family of horsemen, including her father Niall and brother Colin, who helms the operation at Highlander in East Texas, Kristin has literally grown up around the sport of horse racing.” thoroughbreddailynews.com/family-matters…

This week's @theTDN Fastest Maiden is Highlander graduate, RANGE GOAT (by Bolt d'Oro). See the race replay video in the link below. "1. RANGE GOAT, EVD, 5/9-5th, 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 90 (c, 3, by Bolt d'Oro–Taylor's Tourist, by Midshipman) O/B-Levings Racing/Brian Levings (Ky). T-Juan Larrosa. J-Joel Dominguez. After a couple of warmup swings, Range Goat brought his “A” game to the course. He was a solidly beaten second at Delta in February at 7-1 odds followed by a third at 20-1 in the Lafayette Stakes in April at Evangeline, earning Beyers of 65 then 67. But last week–boom!–he ran off by 10 1/2 lengths on sloppy footing at odds of 1-10. Obviously, the competition wasn't stiff, but he made them look even worse." - TDN #forgingchampions thoroughbreddailynews.com/race-replays/0…

A beautiful sunrise and the birds are singing over Pasture #11 @HighlanderTrai3 this morning. In addition to our training and fitness & therapy services, Highlander is a great and peaceful place for horses to turn out and unwind from the rigors of the racetrack.
