CTHS BC • May 22, 2018
by Mark Johnson
BC-bred Tiptoe
went from breaking her maiden in
her first lifetime start on April 22 to winning a 2nd level Allowance May 19 in
the 3rd race at Hastings Racecourse. She
did it with the same stalking style, guided professionally home, 4 1/2 lengths
clear, by jockey Amadeo Perez, covering the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:19.52. Tiptoe is trained by Dino Condilenios for the
juggernaut stable Swift Thoroughbreds Inc. who purchased her out of the 2016 CTHS BC Thoroughbred Sale for the very reasonable price of $29,000. The three-year-old, bay filly by Tiz
Wonderful out of Harmony Creator was bred by Whitewood Farm. It is interesting to note the first 3
finishers of the 6 starters in this Allowance field were all BC-bred, while the
last 3 were bred elsewhere. We call that
a BC-bred trifecta.

Current leading 3rd crop sire in Canada, the son of Smart Strike, COUNTERFORCE is on the move. COUNTERFORCE who stood in 2024 at Stride Away Thoroughbreds (Steen and Cathy Reggelsen) in Armstrong, BC will be relocating to Empire Equestrian in Ardrossan, AB.
