Fire for Effect, our 2-year-old colt by Smart Strike arrived at Churchill Downs and has impressed Dale Romans and his crew. Dale said today, “He stepped right off the van into the beehive of Derby week and it hasn’t rattled him at all.”

Dale is represented by Go Maggie Go in this year’s Kentucky Oaks and Brody’s Cause in the Kentucky Derby.

“I love what I’ve seen from this horse thus far,” said Jeff Lifson. “He went out there under the Twin Spires and galloped like a pro in company with three other two-year-olds. We’d love to see him in the starting gate before the Churchill meet ends right around fourth of July.”
