READY'S IMAGE burst onto the national scene at Keeneland in April of his 2-year-old year and by mid-summer of that 2007 season he ranked as one of the best juveniles in the nation. In six starts at 2, he won three times, topped by a four-length score in the Gr.2 Sanford S. when getting six furlongs in 1:09.90. He dazzled in Belmont Park’s Tremont S., getting his first stakes victory by seven and a half lengths. His two stakes placings came when second in Saratoga’s venerable Gr.1 Hopeful and, in his stakes debut, a game third in the Gr.3 Kentucky Breeders' Cup S. at Churchill Downs.

Named Maryland-bred champion 2-year-old colt, READY'S IMAGE returned to win his first start at 3, Belmont Park’s Adjudicating S. He retired with four wins, a second and a third from 10 starts, for earnings of $310,542. 

A chip off the old block, the son of highly successful sire More Than Ready has launched his own stud career in Kentucky, getting two stakes winners in his first crop when they came to the races in 2012.

Undefeated in her first four career outings—three of which were stakes—POTOMAC BEND established herself as one of the top 3-year-old fillies in training early in 1999. After winning the Jameela S. against Maryland-breds in January and the open Marshua S. less than a month later at Laurel Park, the daughter of POLISH NUMBERS ventured to New York to capture the Gr.3 Cicada S. in March. Sidelined after that effort, she returned at age 4 to gain a victory against allowance company at Pimlico. She was retired with a career record of five victories in seven starts with earnings of $149,345. 

POTOMAC BEND is the dam of stakes-winning juvenile filly BLUEGRASS ATATUDE, winner of the 2011 Maryland Million Lassie S., and stakes-placed juvenile X Marks the Spot.
