The Hidden Brook partnership filly Miss Lech broke her maiden on January 29th in a maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park. She finished 1 ½ lengths ahead of the field in a 7 ½ furlong race, with a final time of 1:28.99. She is by Giant's Causeway and is a half sister to G2 stakes winner Guilt Trip. 

 

She was part Hidden Brook's consignment at the Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale in February, where she sold for $115,000. 

 

Catch My Drift

Partnership filly Catch My Drift became a stakes winner on August 24th after an impressive win in the Summer Colony Stakes at Saratoga. She came close to earning her first black-type win in 2014 when she finished 2nd in the G3 Turnback the Alarm Stakes by just a half-length. 

 

The win in the Summer Colony Stakes brought the four-year-old's record to 9-4-2-0, with earnings totaling $240,540. She beat the 6/5 favorite Tiz So Sweet by 6 ¼ lengths while earning a 94 Beyer figure and 7+ Ragozin number. She finished the 1 1/8 mile race in 1:48.72. 

 

Catch My Drift closed out the year with a 3rd place finish in the G1 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park, brining her lifetime record up to 10-4-2-1. 

 

Hidden Brook sold the four-year-old at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton November Sale, bringing an exciting and rewarding racing partnership to a close. They first purchased the filly as a yearling in 2012 for $95,000. She went on to earn $280,540 in her 10-race career. Hidden Brook sold her for $400,000 to WinStar Farm. 

 

Another Hidden Brook partnership filly, Neck of the Moon, finished off 2015 with a record of 6-2-1-2, including a 3rdplace finish in the Ticonderoga Stakes at Belmont Park, adding black type to her resume.

 

She now has a record of 15-4-3-5 and a bankroll of $271,245. She was originally purchased by Hidden Brook as a yearling for $60,000. 

 

Neck of the Moon will race again in 2016 for the partnership and has resumed training at Hidden Brook South after a brief freshening. She is by More Than Ready and out of Cotopaxi. 

 

Earlier in the year, Hidden Brook officially acquired the Robert N. Scanlon training center in Williston, Florida, in a joint property venture with trainer Randy Bradshaw. The 125-acre facility has acted as the main headquarters for Hidden Brook's breaking and training operation led by founding partner Mark Roberts. 

 

Hidden Brook Racing ended 2015 with race earnings, sales, total revenue, and average earnings per start all surpassing the marks set in 2014. In just its fifth year, the Hidden Brook Racing roster had its total revenue surpass the one-million-dollar mark with a total of $1,148,341 earned in 2015. 

 

Since it began in 2010, Hidden Brook Racing has generated $2,564,207 in race earnings, with an overall win percentage of 18%, and an in-the-money percentage of 50%. With sales over $2,500,000, Hidden Brook's total revenue has surpassed $5,000,000. 

 

With the continued success of Hidden Brook's racing partnerships, we would like to extend the opportunity to anyone who would like to take part in one in the future. The Hidden Brook team is excited about the prospect of buying some promising two-year-olds and yearlings in 2016.
