It's All in the Family

One of Lantern Hill Farm’s most successful families got off to a quick start with its newest generation, when two-year-old Brother G. (pictured at left) won a 6 1/2-furlong maiden special weight race for owner Zayat Stables and trainer Anthony Dutrow at Philadelphia Park on Nov. 3. Two weeks later, three-year-old Lead Time (below),  joined the winners' ranks with a determined effort in a 6 furlong maiden test at Churchill Downs for owner/breeder Lantern Hill Farm and trainer Ian Wilkes.

Brother G, by Matty G., and Lead Time, by Gilded Time, are the second and first foals, respectively, from Lantern Hill's mare Sister Quick, the last daughter of Apalachee’s multiple stakes-producing daughter Come on Texas. Suzi Shoemaker purchased Come on Texas at the 1997 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, when the mare's multiple record-setting turf speedster Texas Glitter (G3) was still a yearling. Come on Texas produced Cornhusker Breeders’ Cup Handicap (G3) winner Mr. John at Lantern Hill the next year.

Sister Quick’s yearling Toccet filly sold for $65,000 to Prater Thoroughbreds at the 2007 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. The mare produced a colt by Grand Reward in 2007, and is back in foal to Cigar Mile (G1) winner Purge.
