ANOTHER WINNER FOR THE JOHNSTONS!
Torpedo Boy, 2004 gelding by Tricky Creek
out of Carnival Caper, by Carnivalaly broke his maiden May 10, 2008 at Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. Torpedo Boy is a 1/2
brother to our other winners Stormy Taters and Crowning Caper.
Stormy Taters, daughter of Stormy Jack broke her maiden
at Santa Anita Park on 4/20/08:
Bob Black Jack is at Churchill Downs preparing for the Kentucky Derby, but his
classmates in Stormy Jack's first crop are keeping the home wins flowing.
Stormy Taters became the eighth winner from that crop Sunday at Santa Anita, taking the lead early and pulling away
to win by 3 1/2 lengths at 5 1/2 furlongs.
It was the fourth career start for the New Mexico-bred filly, who'd been a close second in her debut at Golden Gate
Fields. With a win and a second in four starts, her earnings now total $15,800.
She took the lead in the field of 11 nearing the three-eighths pole and steadily moved out under urging by jockey Rafael
Bejarano.
Foaled in New Mexico by former Californians James G. and Ginny Johnston, she's owned by Claimboxdotcom, Guiol, and Samo
and trained by Doug O'Neill.
Stormy Jack finished 2007 as California's second-leading freshman sire with five winners and earnings of $193,270. Since
then he's increased those totals to eight winners and earnings of $558,184.
