Grimes Enjoying the Ride With Platinum Gem

For the better part of two decades, Patricia Grimes and her husband Michael have bred and sold racehorses from their Classic Run Farm in Webster, Florida. Last spring, the couple decided to see what it felt like to race their own horses. They purchased a daughter of Frosted (hip 722) at the OBS April sale for $30,000 and named her Platinum Gem. The filly–just the second to carry the colors of Classic Run Farm–may have earned herself a start in stakes company after a pair of impressive victories at Tampa Bay Downs in December for trainer Maria Bowersock.

“We are surprised and in awe of what she is doing right now,” Patricia Grimes said. “She is incredible and Maria has her feeling great.”

Platinum Gem opened her career with a third-place finish at Delaware Park in October before a resounding 5 1/4-length maiden triumph at 11-1 (video) at Tampa Dec. 4. She came back to score a two-length allowance victory (video) at the Oldsmar oval Christmas Eve. The pair of victories have likely earned the filly a start in the Jan. 15 Gasparilla S.

“We hope to go on with her as long as she stays sound and healthy and her attitude is great,” Grimes said. “We want to go in a stakes with her, of course, and the Gasparilla is what Maria is thinking of.”

Grimes credited trainer Michael Stidham for picking Platinum Gem out of the OBS sale, although she was initially resistant to his choice.

“We weren't even at the sale that day,” Grimes explained. “We had gone the day before to look at some horses with him. The next day, he was still there and he picked her out. He called me and I told him, 'I really want a colt.' He called twice more. And the third time–meanwhile I had talked to my husband, Michael about it–and finally I said, 'Okay. Bid on her.' And we got her.”

A racetrack veteran, Grimes and her husband slowly worked their way into breeding industry, buying mares just off the track. Gion (Meadow Monster) was a stalwart of the band. The now-retired mare produced stakes winner Luke of York (Put It Back).

“When Gion had her last foal, we decided to keep him,” Grimes recalled. “His name was Miami Smuggler. We gave him to Maria and that was our first horse that we ever raced. He did quite well for us. Between Tampa and Presque Isle, he earned $80,000, I think. He won a couple of races and he was in the money 80% of the time.”

The Classic Run broodmare band currently numbers just one mare, the 7-year-old Racey Reecey (Congrats).

“I was following Racey Reecey for two or three years,” Grimes said. “She's from the same family as Gion. Gion is retired, but I was following Racey Reecey and I finally got her. She's a nice, big mare. We got her in foal to Seeking the Soul and we'll see what happens. It takes a long time to get them to the races.”

While the Grimeses have been in the business of selling their foals, they expect to race future stock.

“For 20 years, we were breeding and selling,” Grimes said. “We only had one or two foals a year, mostly only one, and we sold them. They all went to the races and they all won. We didn't own any of them except Miami Smuggler. We are not famous or anything like that, but we have quite a few win pictures.”

Expect to see the couple back at the OBS sales next spring.

“We are getting older and it's easier on me and my husband,” Grimes said of buying 2-year-olds. “[With breeding] you have to foal the baby out and you have to worry about the mother and the baby and you've got to wean it. That's why it's better when you just go to the sale. They're already broke. We've started wondering, 'Why weren't we doing this all those years?'”

Platinum Gem's two recent victories have attracted offers to buy the promising filly, but the Grimeses are happy to see where the ride takes them.

“We did have calls, but we've turned them all down, so they quit calling,” Grimes said. “We are enjoying this. Who knows how far she is going to go, right? But we are enjoying the moment.”

‘Jockey’ Races Into Movie Theaters

Japan: Deep Impact Colts Go 1-2 In Year-End Hopeful Stakes

Second favorite Killer Ability romped to a convincing victory in record breaking time to capture this year's Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes on Tuesday at Nakayama, stamping his name on the list of most prominent candidates for next season's Triple Crown classics. Both the winner and the runner-up, Justin Palace, are sired by Deep Impact (Sunday Silence).

The race got underway with Grand Line setting the pace, Born This Way sitting a few lengths behind in second, and Killer Ability on the rails another length behind that in third. As the field made their bids entering the straight, Killer Ability had switched to an outer path avoiding the frontrunners turning the last corner. As the pacesetter weakening near the rails, the brown colt stole the lead from Born This Way after the furlong marker with a second gear and crossed the line a 1-1/2-length winner.

“Sitting in the saddle in his workouts two weeks in a row convinced me that he was going to run and run fast,” commented jockey Takeshi Yokoyama. “We sat in a good position and when the colt was able to relax in the backstretch, I had all the confidence I needed that he was going to win. I'm sure he will go on to improve further and become stronger. Personally, my goal for this season was to capture a G1 title and land 100 seasonal wins—winning five G1 titles is just unbelievable and I cannot thank all the connections and the horses enough for such a wonderful season.”

After turning in a fifth in his debut start (1,800m, or nine furlongs) in June, Killer Ability displayed a strong seven-length win in his following start (2,000m, or 1 1/4 miles) in August. In his latest Hagi Stakes (Listed, 1,800m) start, Killer Ability was a neck short in second to subsequent Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes third-place finisher Danon Scorpion.

Following his latest G1 win with Chrono Genesis in the Takarazuka Kinen in June, trainer Takashi Saito has now six overall JRA-G1 titles under his belt while jockey Takeshi Yokoyama collected his fifth JRA-G1 title, his most recent being in the Arima Kinen with Efforia just two days before.

Fourth pick Justin Palace was settled in around fifth, three to four lengths behind the eventual winner. After making steady headway after the third corner, the colt picked off the runners in front one by one up to the last half furlong but proved no match to the winner while holding off the rest of the field by 1-1/4 lengths.

Eighth choice Lagulf sat behind the winner along the rails in fourth and after struggling for room in early stretch, made an inside bid alongside the runner-up but was unable to keep up while snatching third place from Born This Way in the final strides.

Race favorite and this year's Saudi Arabia Royal Cup winner Command Line was reserved on the rails in lower mid-pack and switched to an outer path entering the straight but failed to fire, never reaching contention to finish 12th.

Other Horses:
4th: (13) Fidele—traveled in 12th, improved position with 2nd fastest late speed, belatedly
5th: (9) Born This Way—tracked leader in 2nd, inherited lead at early stretch, weakened in last 200m
6th: (10) Matenro Leo—settled around 10th, angled out, passed tired rivals
7th: (2) Achernar Star—sat 2nd from rear, showed fastest late charge, failed to threaten
8th: (1) Shelby's Eye—hugged rails around 9th, even paced
9th: (4) Grand Line—set pace, surrendered lead at early stretch, showed tenacity until 100m out
10th: (15) Ask Wild More—unhurried in 13th, unable to reach contention
11th: (12) Onyankopon—ran outside winner around 4th, outrun after final corner
13th: (7) Satono Helios—raced around 8th, driven after 3rd corner, circled wide, showed little
14th: (11) Crowned Magic—trailed in far rear, no factor
15th: (14) Tyler Tesoro—traveled 3-wide around 5th, faded after 3rd corner
