The Friday Show Presented By Diamond B Farm’s Rowayton: Sam Houston Strong

Chris Griffin, track announcer at Sam Houston Race Park, joins Ray Paulick and Joe Nevills on this week's edition of The Friday Show in the wake of the historic deep freeze that wreaked havoc with the electrical grid and water supply in Houston and other Texas cities.

“It was a unique situation, a bit scary at times, but we got through it,” Griffin said. “Your immediate thought if you're involved with horse racing – and it should be – is how are the horses going to be handling the conditions and what we are going to go through.”

Fortunately, an emergency plan was in place, and the backstretch community rallied to make it work. “Last week was a very trying, difficult time where we all had to work together,” he said.

After four lost racing days, the action resumed this week, just in time for Saturday evening's Texas Preview Day, and Griffin provides some insights on the 12-race card featuring five stakes for Texas-breds.

Finally, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills gives a toast to Spendthrift Farm's Vino Rosso in our new segment spotlighting the stallion's first foals.

The Friday Show Presented By Rowayton, Standing At Diamond B Farm In Pennsylvania: The Prep Season

Eight races offering Kentucky Derby qualifying points have been run this year with two more scheduled this weekend, including Saturday's Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds in New Orleans – the first in the Kentucky Derby Championship Series with 85-points each (50-20-10-5 to the first four finishers).

What have we learned so far? What horses have had their stock rise and which ones have fallen? And how many potential Triple Crown race winners have we yet to see racing in 2021?

In this week's edition of the Friday Show presented by Rowayton, standing at Diamond B Farm in Pennsylvania, Paulick Report publisher Ray Paulick, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills and news editor Chelsea Hackbarth tackle those questions and more. They've also got a surprising pick for the “star of the week.”

Into Mischief Son Rowayton To Pennsylvania’s Diamond B Farm

Glenn and Becky Brok have announced that Rowayton, a Grade 1-placed son of leading sire Into Mischief has been retired and will enter stud in 2021 at their Diamond B Farm in Mohrsville, Pa.

Bred in Kentucky by H. Allen Pointexter, Rowayton was produced from the Indian Charlie mare, Rosemonde, a half sister to multiple graded stakes winner and Canadian champion Miss Mischief. He was a $320,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling purchase by Larry Best's OXO Equine in 2017.

Rowayton won his first start in a maiden special weight race at Del Mar and in his second start was runner-up to champion Game Winner in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity after leading until deep stretch. He ran third behind Game Winner again in the Grade 1 American Pharoah Stakes in his third start.

Raced mostly in New York in his 3-year-old season, where he began with a sharp allowance victory at Belmont Park clocked in 1:14.94, Rowayton ran third behind Code of Honor in the G3 Dwyer and fourth to Mind Control in the G1 H. Allen Jerkens.

“Rowayton displayed his brilliant speed winning at Belmont Park where he was only 2/5 over the track record blazing 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:14 4/5 when he was trained by Don Chatlos,” said Glenn Brok. “His sire is enjoying incredible success and being from the family of champion Proud Spell, we feel like he will be a very important addition to the stallion ranks in the Mid-Atlantic region.”

Rowayton will enter stud for an introductory fee of $5,000. The Broks will announce a breeding incentive plan for breeders to earn a lifetime breeding right in the near future.

Rowayton to Diamond B Farm

Rowayton (Into Mischief–Rosemonde, by Indian Charlie), who placed behind champion Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}) in the GI Del Mar Futurity and GI American Pharoah S., will enter stud in 2021 at Glenn and Becky Brok’s Diamond B Farm in Mohrsville, PA. He will stand for $5,000.

A $320,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga graduate, Rowayton broke his maiden at first asking at Del Mar and was third to Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) in the GIII Dwyer S. last season. The bay was beaten a neck into fourth in the GI H. Allen Jerkens S. and retires with two wins from nine starts for earnings of $252,130 for Larry Best’s OXO Equine LLC.

Bred on the same cross as this year’s GI Frizette S. winner Dayoutoftheoffice, Rowayton is out of a daughter of SP Kid Majic (Lemon Drop Kid), the dam of two-time Sovereign Award winner Miss Mischief (Into Mischief), as well as MSP Mind Out (Tapit).
