Based in Miramar Beach, Florida, Greg Tramontin of Greenwell Thoroughbreds purchased what was formerly known as Siena Farm outside of Paris, Kentucky and the breeder/stable owner has also continued to add to his broodmare band. At the recent Keeneland January Sale, Tramontin went to $2-million to acquire GISW Simply in Front (Summer Front) who will visit Into Mischief, and he also purchased for $550,000 Closing Statement (Blame) who is entered in Not This Time's book for this spring. Tramontin sat down with TDN to offer highlights from his 2026 matings plan. QUICKICK, 2022, McKinzie–Graeme Six, by Graeme Hall. Will be bred to Not This Time. Quickick was a filly who showed us early that she belonged at the top level, and she went on to prove that by running third the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and second in the GI Darley Alcibiades at Keeneland and won the Iowa Oaks, as well. She has class, professionalism and is gorgeous. Tom Amoss trained her and her talented mother, too. Her mother made a great broodmare herself and there are a lot of producing females up-close in the pedigree, so this family should continue to develop. She represents the type of mare we want for Greenwell Thoroughbreds–an athletic, attractive filly who earned her place in the broodmare band through performance. We're breeding Quickick to Not This Time this year for her first foal because he has firmly established himself as one of the elite sires in the country. His ability to produce brilliant, durable, competitive racehorses on any surface makes him a natural fit. Our goal for the farm is to produce top quality sales horses and racehorses and Not This Time does both exceptionally well. To get these younger fillies off to a strong start we are willing to invest in getting them to the best stallions out there. Runners are what improve the value of the mares, so while I'm excited to be a commercial breeder and seller. The real upside comes when they hit the racetrack as successful runners for their purchasers. That is my goal. ALYS BEACH, 2021, Omaha Beach–Pray For Leslie, by Bernardini. In foal to Cody's Wish. Will be bred to Not This Time. Alys Beach is from the first crop of Omaha Beach and was a filly who showed her ability early. She broke her maiden at Saratoga in her first start at 2, then followed that with a fourth-place finish in the GI Spinaway and a third in the GI Alcibiades. Greenwell silks at the Spa | Sarah Andrew After we purchased Alys, we liked the family enough to go back and buy her half-sister–the graded stakes-placed Spa Prospector (Authentic). The page has continued to improve since then, with their half-sister developing into the MGSW Praying (Vekoma), which has reinforced our confidence in the strength of the family. I sent Alys Beach to Flightline for her first foal and we're fortunate to get a filly we're very excited about–she's an excellent first foal and all class. Alys Beach is currently in foal to Cody's Wish, and this year we'll send her to Not This Time. I generally prefer to send younger mares to proven sires, but I'm comfortable taking the occasional shot with truly exceptional racehorses like Flightline and Cody's Wish. At this point, it makes sense to back those matings up with a stallion like Not This Time. Taylor Made, where he stands, have been great to work with too. IFURHAPPYNUKNOWIT, 2016, Bernardini–Mushka, by Empire Maker. In foal to Elite Power. Will be bred to Into Mischief. Ifurhappynuknowit is one of the mares I'm most excited about in the band. She's a beautiful Bernardini mare and a full-sister to Crowned, the dam of Horse of the Year Sovereignty (Into Mischief). Both mares are out of Mushka, a Grade I winner herself and a member of the extended Lakeway (Seattle Slew) family, so this is a deep, high-quality pedigree that continues to prove itself at the very highest level. I bought this mare in foal to Elite Power, who I think is an exciting young sire son of Curlin with a chance to make it. For her next mating this year, I decided to really go for it and send her to Into Mischief in an effort to replicate the success that Sovereignty has enjoyed. Into Mischief is as good as it gets and there is clearly a strong affinity for him within this family. NIGHT ON THE TOWN, 2017, Street Sense–Fully Living, by Unbridled's Song. In foal to Life Is Good. Will be bred to Constitution. Night on the Town is a Street Sense mare from the extended family of champion 2-year-old filly & MGISW Halfbridled (Unbridled), and she's one I'm very high on. She's a big, beautiful mare with real presence, and that's carried through to her produce. Her 2024 foal, a filly by Good Magic, is a standout individual. She's currently in foal to Life Is Good, and this year we'll send her to Constitution. That's a cross that has already proven itself with a horse like Mindframe, and it's one that makes a great deal of sense to me on multiple levels. We talk a lot about crosses and patterns, and those matter, but physical compatibility is just as important in my mind. Night on the Town is a typical big, imposing Street Sense, and Constitution is a very good balance for her. Like Good Magic, he's a bit tidier, with excellent balance, strength and stretch to his body, while offering some refinement and elegance. For me, that combination gives this mare a chance to produce something special.

Reigning Horse of the Year Sovereignty appeared on the worktab Feb. 15 for the first time since scratching from the Nov. 1 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) at Del Mar.View the full article -
Not too sure though how it is beneficial to punters after the race though? The trainers and drivers will always give a reason and the Stipes just accept it, so not that useful! What would be more useful, would be HRNZ actually advising the punters of why a horse went poor last start or any medicines administered a day or two before a race on HRNZ! How often do we hear just before a race on Trackside of a horse having its hocks injected or is in season, or a horse is now with another trainer and has been for weeks? Fat lot of use just prior to the start, but would it be too hard for them to do this! -
Who they question is subjective to ones opinion of any horses form. nowornever,i think your just likely to be very good at doing the form and therefore aren't surprised when some horses perform well. as to the stipes,the canterbury stipes intent is trying to keep the public informed and thats a good thing. Take it or leave it i suppose.. Its more information that some punters will appreciate and i believe implies that the stipes who do that have the right intent when it comes to oversight as well. -
