Last year Toni Tools sold at the Fasig-Tipton Night of Stars sale in Keeneland for $330,000, a record amount for any horse in or stable at that time. This year during the same sale, Sweet Dani Girl sold for $425,000, smashing our old record.
In partnership with Michael Dubb, Steven Bouchey and New Phoenix Stable, we acquired Sweet Dani Girl in the fall of 2023 at the Fasig-Tipton Sale for $350,000. Going to Christophe Clement’s barn, she instantly scored a victory in her first start for us in the Sunshine Filly and Mare Turf Stakes at Gulfstream Park on January 14. That race was followed by another win at Gulfstream in an Allowance Optional Claimer on February 24. Following that she ran 4th in the Pleasant Acres Stallions Distaff Turf Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and 5th in the PTHA President’s Cup Stakes at Parx. In those 4 starts, Dani earned $120,690 and in 17 career starts earned 6 wins, 4 of them being stakes wins, 2 seconds and 2 thirds for $502,530 in earnings.
Sweet Dani Girl is a 5-year-old chestnut mare sired by Jess’s Dream out of My Sweet Dani Girl by Scat Daddy bred by J&J Stables, LLC & Carlo Vaccarezza.
