00:00Windstar Farm has added two new stallions to their roster for 2024 and multiple grade

00:06one winner Country Grammar and the speedy sophomore Two Fills.

00:10Here Elliot Walden tells us more.

00:13Two Fills is a horse that has shown a lot of class in his race record.

00:20You know, and I think he's great value at 12.5.

00:23When you look at however somebody evaluates talent, whether it's Ragus in numbers, whether

00:29it's buyer numbers, he stands out with the top three-year-olds of the class.

00:35He won a graded stake in the slop as a two-year-old.

00:38You know, he's just a racehorse.

00:40I was at Turfway when he won the Jeff Ruby, and to see him gallop out around the turn

00:45and be 25 in front, but then he comes back and runs the kind of race he did in the Kentucky

00:50Derby where he was up close to a very fast pace, just gets beat a length.

00:56Everybody else that was up towards the front of that race backed up badly.

01:00Looked like the winner at the eighth pole.

01:01And then when you look at the gallop out, he actually comes back and he gallops out

01:05in front.

01:06We've been looking for a Danzig-lined horse for a long time.

01:10Hardspun is a very underrated stallion, and the thing that Two Fills brings is that he's

01:15a very good looking Hardspun.

01:17Well balanced, has a great head and outlook on things, good top line.

01:24Two Fills is a horse that people are responding to.

01:27They know how good a racehorse he was, and so for 12.5, when the other three-year-olds

01:35in the crop are going to be standing for three times that, he provides great value.

01:40So we have Country Grammar here new for 2024, and super excited about him.

01:47He's the third leading North American earner of all time, and that's great company.

01:53Arrogant, gun runner, he's a little head of curling.

01:57What people don't know about Country Grammar was he also went through a two-year-old sale

02:02and sold to Mr. Pompa for $450,000.

02:07Also wanted to, so he ran at a high level East Coast, West Coast, Middle East for a

02:14long time.

02:15And you know, this day and age when soundness is important, race record's important, I think

02:23he's a high-quality horse, comes from a great Judd Mott family, family of Obligatory and

02:28Bonnie South, and has been giving good runners for a long time, and you know, he just showed

02:35up every single time.

02:37He's a very high-class horse.

02:38With a target on his back, Country Grammar getting the upper hand, draws alongside, and

02:39Country Grammar with his date with destiny, in front a length and a half, Country Grammar

02:40won the Dubai World Cup.

02:41Country Grammar is a big scopey horse that has a long sloping shoulder, the kind of horse

02:56that you would expect to run two turns, and I think he'll compliment mares because he'll

03:02help mares get the kind of physical that breeders would want at the sale.

03:07So we're real excited about Country Grammar for 2024.
