It was a big weekend for second crop sire GET STORMY at Gulfstream Park! Clyde’s Image was a very close 2nd by a head in the $100,000 Kittens Joy Stakes and Fifty Five was a fast closing 3rd in the $100,000 G3 Sweetest Chant Stakes only beaten 3/4 of a length.
GET STORMY is now ranked tied for 3rd among active second crop sires by Graded Stakes Horses in 2017!

GET STORMY will have an exciting weekend ahead of him as recent Gulfstream allowance winner Fifty Five was entered today for Saturday’s $100k G3 Sweetest Chant S. at Gulfstream, and recent G3 Dania Beach S. runner up Clyde’s Image was entered today for Saturday’s $100k Kitten’s Joy S. also at Gulfstream.

From the TDN: “7th-FG, $43,000, Alw (NW1X), Opt. Clm ($50,000), 1-14, 3yo, 6f, 1:10.61, ft.
WILL CALL (c, 3, Country Day–Vote Early {SW, $230,512}, by More Than Ready) was crushed into 1-2 favoritism for his Indiana Grand debut Sept. 28 and ran to the money en route to a 13 1/4-length tally through the slop. A well-bet fourth to Blame Will (Blame) in a Nov. 26 Churchill allowance, the Klein homebred was the 17-10 second choice to favored St. Louie Guy (Kantharos), who was entered for the claiming tag. Always prominent, Will Call raced in the two path on the turn, challenged for the lead two furlongs from home and was never in danger from there, scoring by 2 1/4 lengths. St. Louie Guy completed the exacta and had no takers. Divine Kaleb (Caleb’s Posse), recently third, placed second, in the Sugar Bowl S., went wrong mid-race, dropped C. J. McMahon and was subsequently euthanized. The Kleins campaigned Country Day (by Speightstown) to a trio of black-type wins, including this track’s Colonel Power S., and a runner-up effort in the GII Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. In addition to her stakes win, Vote Early was runner-up in the Pan Zareta S. at this venue. Dam of the 2-year old colt Call Me (Majestic Warrior), Vote Early produced a full sister to Will Call last year and is due to Country Day this winter. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, $48,000.

From the TDN – “10th-GP, $40,000, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($75,000), 1-1, 3yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 1:42.46, fm. FIFTY FIVE (f, 3, Get Stormy–Soave {SP, $142,734}, by Brahms) ran on well to be third on debut over the Belmont lawn Oct. 13 and graduated next out Nov. 11 at Aqueduct. Let go at 14-1 in this spot, the home bred was off a step slowly and dropped back to run last as a strong pace developed through a :22.76 quarter. The tempo slowed a bit to a :47.58 half and Fifty Five, still last at the three-furlong marker, quickly advanced into contention on the latter half of the far turn. Favored TDN Rising Star Tamit (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) struck the lead briefly near the sixteenth pole, but Fifty Five finished with a full head of steam to soon overhaul that one and notch a half-length upset. Soave’s most recent produce is a juvenile filly by Point of Entry and she was bred to Noble Mission (GB) last term. Sales History: $24,000 RNA Ylg ’15 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1, $63,000.
