Northview Sires Shine At 2009 MHBA Yearling Show
Two Punch, Lion Hearted Yearlings Win Classes
06/29/2009- Northview-sired yearlings were prominent among the choices of renowned bloodstock agent Baden P. “Buzz” Chace (pictured below) at the Maryland Horse Breeders Association’s 75th annual yearling show on June 28 in Timonium.
More than half of the ribbons awarded for the four classes for Maryland-sired yearlings were given to yearlings by Northview sires, including the winners of the first two classes. Robert T. Manfuso and Katharine M. Voss’s solid gray son of Two Punch was the standout among the older colts in the first class. And Manfuso and Voss also exhibited the first two finishers in Class II, with the top prize going to a son of Lion Hearted.
