Dayoutoftheoffice's Career One to Remember at Siena Farm

Nacho Patino had high hopes for Dayoutoftheoffice before she had even hit the ground at Siena Farm. Her dam, Gottahaveadream (Indian Charlie), was a relatively large mare and had consistently thrown size and scope in her first three foals, so the Siena team had decided to pair her with Into Mischief. The resulting foal, Patino said, was better than what they had imagined. "I loved the filly when she was born," Siena Farm's General Manager explained. "She was a big, strong filly with the size and scope we were hoping...

Blazing Meadows Farm and Siena Farm's Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief) makes her belated seasonal debut in the GII Eight Belles S. on the GI Kentucky Oaks undercard Friday.

The Tim Hamm pupil recorded a couple breezes at Tampa in January,...

The TDN Kentucky Oaks Top 10 for January 14

With the year having just begun, it will take a while for the picture for the GI Kentucky Oaks to come into focus. For now, the fillies who thrived last year dominate this Top 10 list, but that can, and likely will, change as the calendar works its way toward the first Friday in May and new names emerge in the major preps for the Oaks. It is, at the very least, a solid group, headed by GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Vequist, who will be named the champion...
