The latest foal from Betterthancheddar’s dam Lady Ashlee Ann (see my last blog) to hit the tracks and win is by Shadow Play, a brown colt named High Flier who was sold in the Harrisburg 2012 sale to Dr Ian Moore for $37,000. That seems quite a cheap price for a colt from such a good family?
Dr Ian Moore, enjoying the progeny of Shadow Play, a horse he owned and trained.
Dr Ian Moore was the owner/trainer of Shadow Play and a big fan of the horse, and ended up buying several at Harrisburg.
The most successful to date is the very good Arthur Blue Chip, which he bought for $135,000.
For those of you who have read my previous blogs about Shadow Play, I have to say neither High Flier nor Arthur Blue Chip’s dams carried any Shadow Wave in their pedigrees! Darn! lol
High Flier contested the 2013 OSS Grassroots series for an 8th, 6th and 5th result, but then went on to get his first win at Grand River Raceway, winning by over 13 lengths in 1:57.6.
Like most of the family, time will be his friend. I’ll keep an eye on his progress.
For those who, like me, missed them first time around, here are a couple of article that talk about Dr Ian Moore, Shadow Play and the progeny he bought.
Harnesslink article Shadow Plays for real!

Like the Shadow and he’s doing the job. However, while it’s impossible, would be interesting to see how they’d go, for example, in the Pennsylvania SS against the big hitters in “The Beach” and Well Said et al. Looking forward to seeing his babies keep hitting the track this season.
