Backstreet Shadow Earns Millionaire Status

THANK YOU
to everyone who inspected, bid on and purchased 
a Talbot Creek Farm yearling this fall. 
We wish you all the best in 2023.   

We would like to extend hearty congratulations to our homebred Backstreet Shadow and his connections on his milestone accomplishment on July 17. With his close second place finish in the William Haughton Memorial at The Meadowlands, Backstreet Shadow is the latest pacer to achieve millionaire status.

 

A now six-year-old by Shadow Play, Backstreet Shadow has been a consistently solid performer throughout his career. As a three-year-old he won seven of 14 starts for $216,465 earned. The following year he won 10 of 22 for $248,200. Last year at five was his most successful season to date with $433,016 banked from 21 starts.

 

So far this season he’s faced the gate 11 times with four wins and three seconds recorded for $161,547. His best time is 1:47.3 earned at four and tied again this year.

 

Ron Burke trains and co-owns Backstreet Shadow with Weaver Bruscemi, Larry Karr and J&T Silva-Purnel & Libby. He is the third foal from Backstreet Sweetie whose immediate family boasts several other millionaires including Jennas Beach Boy and Atochia.

 

Talbot Creek sold Backstreet Shadow at the Forest City Sale for $82,000. He has proven a solid investment.


Talbot Creek Farm

Karen was raised on a dairy farm and enjoyed showing dairy cattle at the local fairs. She is a third generation horse person. Her grandfather George and father Blake Bennett raised and raced Standardbred horses, mostly trotters. Karen always had a love of horses, getting her first pony when she was 7 yrs old. She attended college and studied law. She returned fulltime to training horses when her parents took their stallion, Armbro Agile, to race in the esteemed Ellitlope, in Sweden. Karen trained and drove, mostly trotters, for many years. She represented Ontario in the Women’s Drivers Challenge in PEI and won.

Dr. Wayne Carroll was raised on a farm near Shedden and was active in 4H. He was also an avid hockey player. He is a graduate of Guelph University specializing in Equine Medicine. He is a partner in a mixed practice in Aylmer and Shedden.

Talbot Creek Farm (128 acres) was started in 1998. Karen and Wayne built a new barn and paddocks for their growing herd of horses. They have 4 children, Zachary , Rhys, Makenna and Seth. All enjoy the horses and help out on the farm.

Congratulations Jumpin Junie

The Talbot Farm-bred Jumpin Junie broke her maiden in impressive style, winning the richest race for Canadian-bred two-year-old fillies on October 16 at Woodbine. 

 

With Kazushi Kimura aboard, the daughter of Midnight Lute – Another Flashback captured the 77thPrincess Elizabeth Stakes carrying a $250,000 purse. It was her first win in three lifetime starts.

 

From our mare Another Flashback, the filly sold as Riplyn and the new owners changed her name to Jumpin June in honour of a late family member. 

 

Another Flashback foaled a full sister to Jumpin June earlier this year.

Congratulations To Monkey Queen

Talbotcreek Farms congratulations Monkey Queen, a half sister to our broodmare Danish Girl, on winning her Simcoe Stakes division Saturday (September 3) at Mohawk.

 

Yannick Gingras expertly steered the three-year-old daughter of Chapter Seven to the 1:53.1 effort. The young miss now has three wins and two seconds in six starts for owners Lindy Farms,  Black Horse Racing and David Anderson. In the race prior, at The Red Mile, Monkey Queen won by an incredible 24 lengths.

 

Danish Girl, who is also a sister to $2.7million winner Gimpanzee and Iteration ($780,818), has her third foal, Genevieve, selling this fall at Harrisburg.
