Jane Dunn, owner and operator of Holly Hill, put Synchrony through her breaking program and this now 5-year-old came from off the pace to capture his second stakes win in a row proving best in the Red Bank S. G3 at Monmouth Park on September 1. Over 7 lengths back early on, he advanced up the inside rail and barreled his way to a 1 ½ length victory.

Kentucky Downs Juvenile S. In a long drive through the stretch, this 2-year-old prevailed at the wire by a
neck. He is now two for two lifetime.

On September 9, another Webb Carroll Training Center graduate, Gamble's Ghost, trailed the field for the opening ¾'s of a mile in the Belle Mahone S. at Woodbine. Coming six wide into the stretch she did not make the lead until just before the wire winning by a head.
