Breeders' Cup races proved the value of racing feed formulation by Kentucky Equine Research. Fifty-seven percent of Breeders' Cup winners were fueled by feeds provided by KER Team Member Hallway Feeds. Example: In the Sentient Flight Group Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, winner Ventura and second-place finisher Indian Blessing, trained respectively by Bobby Frankel and Bob Baffert, showed the wisdom of training and racing on premier equine feed products.

The dam of Samantha Miss, Milliyet, with this seasons foal at foot.

The Willow Park Stud bred sensation, Samantha Miss, is on a quest to be the first three-year-old filly in over 30 years to win the $3 million Cox Plate. The athletic filly by Redoute's Choice out of Milliyet has certainly made her presence felt since defeating the champion two-year-old Sebring in the Group 1 AJC Champagne Stakes. This season she has strung together four successive group wins to become only the second filly in history to take a clean sweep of the Sydney Princess Series. Jockey Glen Boss has described the filly as being as strong as any four-year-old mare that he has ridden and proclaimed her as the best three-year-old in Australia.

In the past five years Willow Park Stud has been producing a string of very successful horses including 15 stakes winners out of crops of 20 to 25 foals per year, a sensational result for this family owned and run business. Willow Park has bred such gallopers as the Group 1 winning Anamato, Sonic Quest, Mearas and Primus and averages a staggering 95% clearance rate through the auctions.

Willow Park Stud works closely with Kentucky Equine Research Stud Specialist, Graham Jenkinson, to ensure that the diets of their broodmares and growth of young horses is closely monitored to ensure optimum sound growth.

Congratulations to trainer Paul 'Frog' Murray and the connections of Predatory Pricer after winning the listed AJC Ming Dynasty. This win provided Paul Murray with his first success in black type racing in his short training career. Predatory Pricer has a real KER flavour as he is owned in partnership by Merringo Stud, where he was bred & raised on All-Phase pellets & now races in the Murray stable on KER Perform & Equi-Jewel, furthermore Predatory Pricer is sired by international breeding & racing conglomerate Darley's studs Street Cry, Darley also a valued KER client.

Predatory Pricer is the younger ½ brother to international superstar Takeover Target, who was originally owned & raised at Merringo Stud. Paul Murray suggests this hulking youngster could just be the next big thing in racing who unlike his famous big brother looks destined for greatness over further ground. A massive & still wayward colt he used his frame to advantage to withstand a buffeting duel in the concluding stages of the race. After resisting the temptation to geld the colt, connections now have an exciting and very valuable commodity on their hands.
