Edie Meeny Miny Mo a Monmouth Favorite!
“Edie Meeny Miny Mo. Did they catch the 7? No!” Track announcer Frank Mirahmadi had fun with the name of the Dark Hollow Farm-bred filly after her thrilling stretch battle with Club Car in the $100,000 Regret Stakes at Monmouth Park on July 2. Edie Meeny Miny Mo dug in to win by a head and record the first stakes win of her career. Loving Mona Luna to the moon and back
Everyone loves a winner. But it can be said that first-time winner Mona Luna is even a bit more special. Yes, the daughter of Uncle Mo out of graded stakes winner Luna Time is bred to be special. And yes, she is a second generation homebred for Dorsey Brown and Rich Palmer, longtime Dark Hollow Farm clients and great friends of David and JoAnn Hayden. And her win brought back great memories as it came in the same month over the same distance and surface six years after the first win for her magical dam. But there is the deeper connection between the orphan foal and those who have loved and followed her. Mona Luna is the first and only foal for Luna Time, when a seemingly normal foaling in January 2017 turned tragic. “When Luna Time delivered her big, beautiful Uncle Mo filly, she couldn’t get up,” remembers JoAnn. “Everybody tried to get her up but she just couldn’t stand and we lost her.” Consultant approves of the turf
David and JoAnn Hayden’s Dark Hollow Farm homebred Consultant kept telling everyone he loved the turf. And the 3-year-old son of Malibu Moon backed that up in his first start of the year when he galloped home a nine-length winner at Laurel Park on April 30. Tugging hard as he stalked the pace down the backstretch, Consultant pulled himself to the front heading into the far turn and flew home, widening his margin with every stride. Jockey Victor Carrasco had a hard time pulling up the powerful chestnut gelding after the finish of the one-mile maiden race. |
