Live Oak Plantation set to unleash their lot in 2012 after a pretty good 2011 season
Live Oak Plantation future prospects are looking bright as they end the 2011 season on a high after To Honor and Serve closed his season down with a win in the Grade 1 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct over at a mile on 26 November, 2011.
Charlotte Weber who is the head of the Like Oak Plantation is poised to strike in 2012 after producing runners who have done really well in their debut season along with the older ones who have build on their successes from the previous year.
Another Like Oak Plantation rising star is the 2-year-old Souper Speedy finished as a runner up in the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct on 26 November, 2011 to winner O’Prada Again.
It was the 2-year-old’s second race. Wee Party then came to the party when the 2-year-old filly turned in a mixed 4th place finish in the Grade 2 Demoiselle Stakes also at Aqueduct going 1 1/8 mile on 26 November, 2011.
The promising Brilliant Speed is going to be the one to look out for in the year 2012 after his solid third place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Turf. The 3-year-old Thomas Albertrani trained colt was looking good until St Nicholas Abbey decided to change the
complexion of the race with his potent run in the deep stretch.
“I think we’re going to have a fun year, looking forward to it,” Weber said Monday by phone from her farm in Ocala, Fla.
The above mentioned Live Oak Plantation horses like To Honor and Serve, Souper Speedy, and Wee Party will be taking some time off from racing before the hectic racing calendar of 2012 begins.
Due to his disappointing thirds at Gulfstream Park at the start of the 2011 season, To Honor and Serve will not run in the Gulfstream Park Handicap as a result his connections will not be in a hurry to get him back to races.
To Honor and Serve was derailed from the Triple Crown trail this season when he came out of the Florida Derby, his last race at Gulfstream Park. His connections will be vary of the fact that To Honor and Serve doesn’t like the surface at Gulfstream Park.
