SKIP'S ROCK Wins $35,000 MSW
CTHS National • July 18, 2023
SKIP'S ROCK was a winner in her first start out in the $35,000 MSW on July 7th!
Congratulations to breeder Boe Stone on the win by SKIP'S ROCK in her first start out in the $35,000 Maiden Special Weight for Alberta bred fillies on July 7th.
The three year old CTHS Alberta sales grad is by Central Banker out of Lester (Offlee Wild) and is owned by Janet & Gary Kropp.
As Boe says "Such a process to buy a pregnant mare and go through the steps to get these young horses to the track.
Getting mares through those important last few months, foaling, raising, feeding, breaking, trimming, treating, marketing and selling takes a bunch of energy. Thanks to Styled By Stars Ranch’s Emily Stone and bookkeeper Janet Stone.
Congratulations to all connections of this sweet filly and continued success!"
