Clients' runners at the races in 2007
A daylight winner in the Aspirant Stakes. Camelia Casby's Law Enforcement (Posse - Zambezi Belle by Lord at War) lived up to his favoritism when he crushed his rivals with a 7-1/2 length victory in the Aspirant Stakes, a six furlong contest for New York Bred 2-year old colts and geldings. Ridden to victory in the Aspirant Stakes by Alan Garcia for trainer Mark Hennig, Law Enforcement was bred by Ms. Casby with the assistance of Star of the North Bloodstock, who helped purchase this colt's dam Zambezi Belle and also contributed to her subsequent matings planning.
Draws off to win by 18 lengths. Camelia Casby's Minnesota Mafia (Yonaguska - Kitiara by Tomorrows Cat) couldn't have looked more impressive when she completely dominated her rivals in a state bred maiden special weight contest at Canterbury Park. Star of the North Bloodstock assisted owner-breeder Camelia Casby with the matings planning that yielded this promising 2-year old filly.
A stakes winning first foal Revival Ridge made all the pace and gamely prevailed in his first try in a turf stakes when he captured the Regaey Island Stakes at Ellis Park. Revival Ridge (Thunder Gulch - Renaissance Fair by Theatrical) was ridden to victory by Charlie Woods and is trained by Pat Huffman. Owner-breeder Cam Caby bred Revival Ridge with the assistance of Star of the North Bloodstock.
Northern Lights Futurity Winner Wild Shifter Making all the pace on a sloppy track, Wild Shifter landed the goal of nearly everyone who starts a 2-year old at Canterbury Park when he captured the 2007 renewal of the Northern Lights Futurity. Star of the North Bloodstock acted as an advisor to owner Dave Hansen when he purchased Wild Shifter from the Benz Lake Farm consignment at the 2006 MTA Yearling Sale. Wild Shifter (Evansville Slew - Wild Glitter by Wild Zone) is trained by Troy Bethke and was ridden to victory by Seth Martinez.
Another first-out maiden winner Jane's Gold bested a promising group with a very professional effort in her first career start at Canterbury Park. Star of the North Bloodstock assisted owner-breeder Peter Mattson with the matings planning that yielded this promising 2-year old Minnesota-bred filly and has since acquired dam Hoists Danzer for a breeding partnership. Jane's Gold (Shot of Gold - Hoists Danzer by Danski) is trained by Percy Scherbenske and was ridden by Nik Goodwin.
Minnesota Derby Winner Palm Reader With a heady ride, jockey Juan Rivera put the finishing touches on a campaign that saw him prevail in this year's Minnesota Derby, defeating last year's Minnesota 2-year old Champion Sul Lago. Trained by Gary Scherer for owner-breeder Camelia Casby, Palm Reader (Miswaki - Dactylogram by Dactylographer) was bred from one of the first mares she ever raced. Star of the North Bloodstock assisted Ms. Casby with the matings planning that helped produce Palm Reader.
A first-out winner at Belmont Park Law Enforcement (Posse - Zambezi Belle by Lord at War) submitted a very professional effort to prevail by daylight in his first career outing at Belmont Park. Garrett Gomez rode Law Enforcement for trainer Mark Hennig. Star of the North Bloodstock acted as agent for owner-breeder Camelia Casby in the purchase of Zambezi Belle and assisted in her subsequent matings planning. Law Enforcement posted a 94 Beyer Speed Figure for his winning effort, one of the fastest debuts by a 2year old anywhere in North America this year.
First racehorse still winning at Arlington Owners Paul and Michelle Koenig join trainer Richie Scherer and friends in the winner's circle at Arlington Park to celebrate Creative Control's decisive victory over claiming rivals on Polytrack. Creative Control (Editor's Note - Silent Classic by Danzig/) was purchased privately for the Koenigs last season after making contact with Star of the North Bloodstock at a new owner's seminar sponsored by Canterbury Park.
Winning black type at age five Camelia Casby's Ma Home Cat turned the 2007 Princess Elaine Stakes into a nailbiter when she just edged Nishani on the wire to capture her first stakes victory. Ma Home Cat (Tomorrows Cat - Madrona by Mr. Leader) had finished on the board in four other stakes appearances during her career and topped the $100,000 earnings mark with her win in the Princess Elaine. Gary Scherer trains Ma Home Cat, who was ridden to victory by Juan Rivera.

Previous Runners
A first out winner - Making the most of an inside trip under jockey Nik Goodwin in her first career outing, Chandi's Prize (Peace Prize - Chandi Tara by Corporate Report) prevailed in a maiden special weight contest for 2-year old Minnesota-bred fillies. Star of the North Bloodstock assisted breeder Kevin Lay's Triple B Stables with the matings planning that resulted in this talented filly. Gary Scherer trains Chandi's Prize for Valene Farms.
Still strong at age six - October Winds (Irish River - Lyphdum by Lyphard) was a little fresh in her seasonal bow at Canterbury Park and as a result ended up on the lead but under patient handling from Derek Bell prevailed in the mile and a sixteenth optional claiming event for fillies and mares on the turf. Gary Scherer trains October Winds for owner-breeder Camelia Casby, who employed Star of the North Bloodstock in the matings planning that resulted in this stakes-placed mare.
A yearling bargain pays off - Coal Fire (Doug Fir - Moro Bucks by Moro) rallied smartly up the rail to edge some formidable state-bred rivals in an allowance sprint at Canterbury Park. Star of the North Bloodstock selected this $4,300 yearling purchase for client Dave Hansen at the 2005 MTA Yearling Sale. Seth Martinez piloted Coal Fire in his two career victories for trainer Troy Bethke.
A daylight win in second career start - Drawing off in her second career start, Winter Trek (Northern Spur - Quilma by Semenenko) won a maiden special weight contest for state-bred fillies and mares at Canterbury Park. Star of the North Bloodstock assisted owner-breeder Camelia J. Casby with the matings planning for her Group I-winning broodmare Quilma that yielded this late-running filly.
A second stakes victory for a New York-bred - The late money poured in on Laurentide Ice minutes before the start of the running of the Cupecoy's Joy division of the New York Stallion Stakes and the gritty, grey filly didn't disappoint, drawing clear after stalking the pace. Laurentide Ice (Intidab - La Muttering by Muttering) was ridden to victory by her new biggest fan, Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux. Mark Hennig trains Laurentide Ice for Camelia Casby, who bred this filly from the first mare she ever raced.
Scrappy filly overcomes tough trip to prevail in maiden win - Sy and Bonnie Baskin's SyBon Stable enjoyed a memorable maiden victory when Cape Wicklow overcame a difficult trip to prevail in a maiden special weight contest at Philadelphia Park. Star of the North Bloodstock acted as a pedigree consultant to the Baskins at the 2005 Keeneland September sale when this filly was purchased from the Taylor Made consignment. Cape Wicklow (Gulch - Lady of Wicklow by Turkoman) is trained by John Servis and was ridden to victory by Harry Vega.
Promising allowance win for 3-year old Minnesota-bred - Bee O Bee Bob started the 2007 Canterbury meeting the right way for his owner-breeder Robert Ryan when the 3-year old gelding prevailed over an experienced older rival in a 5-1/2 furlong allowance contest. Star of the North Bloodstock assisted with the matings planning that yielded this runner-up in last season's Northern Lights Futurity who was himself produced from a stakes winning mare that was also campaigned by Mr. Ryan. Bee O Bee Bob (Petionville - Lilgirlshines by Lyphard's Ridge) is trained by Mac Robertson and was ridden to victory by Seth Martinez.
