Arrive Back On The Scene!

It didn’t take long for BREAD AND BUTTER to start bringing home the bacon, as the elegant juvenile daughter of Pure Prize out of the Not For Love mare Bamba whipped her 10 rivals in her debut at Churchill Downs on Saturday, Sept. 21.

Renowned racing executive Charles Cella was willing to spend $240,000 for the Dark Hollow Farm-bred filly at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Two-Year-Olds in Training sale this past May. And the imposing chestnut trained by Lynn Whiting was primed for her six and a half-furlong maiden special weight test. Sent off as the 2-1 favorite, she took off running at the start, opened up by daylight in the first quarter and was hand ridden to the wire by David Flores, winning with ears pricked by two and a half lengths.

A full sister to 2011 Maryland-bred champion 2-year-old filly PLUM, the scopey filly looks to only get better. She is the fifth foal out of stakes-placed Bamba, who was also bred by Dark Hollow Farm, and the mare’s fifth winner. In addition to Maryland Juvenile Filly Championship Stakes winner PLUM, Bamba is the dam of $148,130-earner U Boat Alley, $90,430-earner Marianotojorge, and current 3-year-old Raven’s Dance, a maiden winner first time out this year. Bamba produced a 2013 colt by Warrior’s Reward and is back in foal to Paddy O’Prado on a March 27 cover.

It took nearly a year, but ARRIVE is back! As talented at 3, the chestnut colt owned by the partnership of Dark Hollow Farm, Dorsey Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Davidov and Mr. and Mrs. David Schwaber found his true calling on the turf last spring, turning in a sensational first time effort over the Pimlico lawn to just miss in allowance company after making up more than 15 lengths in the stretch. Then things were put on hold.

ARRIVE exited that Pimlico race with a stress fracture and went to the sidelines. Allowed plenty of time to recover, with a turf campaign in 2014 as the target, the 4-year-old son of Street Boss was ready to go opening weekend at Pimlico. The result was sensational!

Saving ground early in the 1-mile turf test, ARRIVE took the lead heading into the stretch and pulled away to a six and three-quarter-length victory. It was the Graham Motion trainee's second win, and fifth on-the-board finish, from eight career starts.

ARRIVE is the second winner from three foals of racing age for his dam DREAM OUT LOUD, a daughter of Stravinsky and half-sister to champion MAGISTRETTI. DREAM OUT LOUD is also the dam of DREAM, a graded stakes-placed daughter of Malibu Moon who is now a member of the partnership's broodmare band.

DREAM OUT LOUD was purchased in 2006 by the partnership of Dark Hollow Farm, Dorsey Brown, Arnold Davidov, David and Alena Schwaber and Fast Kitty Farm while carrying her first foal. The colt she delivered three months later, by Gone West, sold for $100,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale. DREAM OUT LOUD's current yearling, a colt by Congrats, is slated to sell at this year's Keeneland September sale. Bred back to Bodemeister, DREAM OUT LOUD is due to foal this April and will be bred back to Paynter.
