KASH LUV

VIP Stable is thrilled to announce our latest addition – KASH LUV

When we heard about KASH LUV, we didn't hesitate and bought her right away based on her breeding and current connections.  She is a full sister to LIZBET KASH ($353,919 Q1:52.1) and is currently owned, trained and driven by Clint Galbraith!!!!

Our newest purchase is a newly turned 4 year old mare by Call For Rain out of the Niatross mare Liz B Kash ($29,057 1:58.4).  KASH LUV has only 7 life time starts (see her chart here ), and is still a maiden.  She was rested in December and January and just qualified back at Buffalo Raceway last week in 2:04.4 over a very sloppy track (that was the fastest qualifier of the day), so she is fresh and ready to race.
 

Back to why we LUV this new purchase - She's guaranteed 100% sound, ready to go and can get around a half mile track, but the biggest reasons are her breeding and the fact she is coming out the Clint Galbraith barn.  These are 2 HUGE plusses!
 

Breeding – KASH LUV is a full sister to LIZBET KASH who was a New York Sire Stakes champion at 3, as well as a runner up in the Breeders Crown.  Even though she turned out the be a top race mare, LIZBET KASH lost 12 of her first 13 starts in her freshman year, and never won a stakes race until she moved from the barn of her NY-based connections to a better trainer.  After moving the Mark Capone barn, LIZBET KASH was like a new horse, winning 6 stakes races in a row, including the $150,000 New York Sire Stakes at Yonkers , and followed that up with runner up finishes in both the Breeders Crown elimination and Final to Champion Mystical Maddy.  How's that for a turnaround – she goes to a new trainer and wins $250,113 in her next 8 starts!!  LIZBET KASH is now a stakes producing broodmare as the dam of Berry's Creek winner and 1:49.0 pacer FOUR STARZ CISCO ($279,900 1:49.0s).  With a family like this, KASH LUV definitely has a future – and a large residual value – as a broodmare herself.

Current connections – KASH LUV was owned, trained and driven by Hall of Famer Clinton Galbraith.  Clint is best known for training the great Niatross - but that was over 25 years ago.  In recent years, Clint has gained a reputation as one of the better people in the industry to buy horses from becasue he is honest and traines young horses well and they almost always pick up when leaving his barn.  Clint turns 70 years this summer, but he still races a barn of over 30 horses.  His stats show he has been off the last few years – neither his driving or training percentages have been above .250 since 2002, and his 2006 numbers are even worse with a Driving UDR of .169 (7.6% winning percentage), and a Training UTR of .183 (winning percentage of 8.5%). 

A recent example of a horse turning around after leaving Clint's barn is KASHAKAHN who moved to Mark Ford's stable in late December after earning just $25,634 racing for Galbraith thru the end of his 4 year old season.  For Galbraith, KASHAKAHN was a low level conditioned horse at Batavia and Woodbine and had a mark of 1:54.3.  Once Ford took over, KASHAKAHN lowered his record to 1:51.2 in just his 2nd start and has yet to miss a check in the tough NW3 classes at The Meadowlands, with a 9-3-3-2 record and earnings of $40,465.   Not as dramatic of a turnaround as LIZBET KASH, but still a BIG improvement.  Take a look at KASHAKAHN's recent "before and after chart" here .

KASH LUV will ship to Tim Case in the next day or two and will be pointed to race at Yonkers Raceway.  As you know, Tim is among the top few trainers at Yonkers , and has been doing a superb job for VIP this year.  Yonkers is the perfect spot for KASH LUV – she'll be able to earn back her purchase price and then some before even leaving the NW2 class (which has only been going in 2:01 recently).  We expect a BIG upside with this mare!!!
 

This partnership is offered on a first come, first served basis, so act early and don't get shut out.
