Midnight Bisou goes to Bramlage, hoping it’s nothing serious.

If ‘serious’ would miss her back on the track but I’d suspect (perhaps not) off to F-T or Keeneland in November
Any commentary on the links you posted in #63?
My thoughts echo yours. If it turns out to be anything questionable, she’d be heading to the sales.

I think it’ll be interesting to see how these juv. fillies do this fall & into next spring. There are always a handful of late bloomers that seem to show up “out of nowhere”.
Though I do like Princess Noor.
If nothing else Breeders Cup 2020 should be fun to watch.
Just saw on Twitter Midnight Bisou has been retired.
Sesamoid, ugh. I feel where they’re coming from. Sure, she was headed for retirement anyway but not how they wanted it to go. I hope she has a long successful life as a broodmare.
Serengeti Empress will be retired (after BC) & bred to Into Mischief

I sure would like to see that yearling in a few years
Oh, and Got Stormy in the Buffalo Trace Franklin County Stakes. What an excellent race! 5 1/2 f on the turf. After a quarter of mile, she was near to last and 7 lengths behind the leader, Jakarta. Gaffalione had to take her wide around the far turn but she got her nose in front just in time.
Next will be BC but actual race TBD.
Dayoutoftheoffice won the Frizette. Clever name: by Into Mischief, out of Gottahaveadream

Enable retired, will be bred to Kingman in 2021.
So sad she did not go out on top, but relieved that she went out safe and sound.
Lots of Northern Dancer blood both Kingman’s and Enable’s pedigrees. Will be interesting to see how that turns out.
Vexatious is out for the rest of the year. Plan is to race her in 2021
