Lady Shipman's sister wins debut at Gulfstream

Just Talkin, a full sister to multiple stakes winner Lady Shipman, won her debut Sunday in a 7 1/2-furlong maiden special weight race on the Gulfstream Park turf, closing with a rush in the field of 10 3-year-old fillies.

The Midshipman filly became the third winner from as many starters out of the winning Mutakddim mare Sumthingtotalkabt. She is trained by Chad Brown for Michael Dubb, Bethlehem Stables, and Gary Aisquith, who privately purchased her last year from breeder Randall Lowe.

Lady Shipman, who has bankrolled $583,905, won seven of 10 starts last year, including six stakes, and finished second in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. She won the Ladies' Turf Sprint at Gulfstream to start this season and is targeting the Group 1, $1 million Al Quoz Sprint in Dubai.

Sumthingtotalkabt’s juvenile, the Leroidesanimaux colt Dr. Corday, was recently a $150,000 buyback at the Fasig-Tipton Florida sale of 2-year-olds in training. The mare has a yearling colt by Treasure Beach named Best Max and was bred to Poseidon’s Warrior for 2016.
