Unfortunately, Sgt Reckless USMC has been entered several times in races that have not filled. Phil even entered her agains the boys, but the race did not go. Fingers crossed.

Envied, a black type 6 year old HnR Nothhaft Horseracing homebred mare by American Pharoah o/o Halljoy, delivered her first foal early January 11th, a healthy, well meant colt by Justify.
Envied and Envied 23 are doing extremely well post birth. Envied 23 is the first foal born Coolmore America in 2023. Given that the sire is Justify and the broodmare sire is American Pharoah, this is definitely the Triple Crown Cross. Envied, Envied 23, American Pharoah and Justify are all happily living at horse heaven-Ashford also known as Coolmore America in Versailles, KY.
After a 6 month layoff, Prodigy Doll, owned and campaigned by Hank Nothhaft’s HnR Nothhaft Horseracing LLC, returned to racing on Dec 18th at Laurel Park for the beginning of her 5 year old campaign. Going off as the 9/5 favorite Prodigy Doll put in a strong 2nd place finish in a third level allowance coming up short by 1/2 a length.
Trained by Phil Schoenthal, PD, coming back off a brief 19 days off, comprised a field of 6 filly/mares including Response Time. Response time was coming off a front running 7 3/4 length win. Though Prodigy Doll was the morning line favorite, the bettors sent her off as second favorite at 2 to 1, with Response Time going off as the clear favorite at 1 to 1 odds.
With jockey Horacio Karamanos returning to ride Prodigy Doll, PD broke clean, was pinned on the rail and did not contest the early pace. Under asking, Prodigy Doll came out four wide into the stretch, leveled off, forged to command with her strong turn of foot making up 3 1/2 lengths, then pulling away for a widening two length win.
Prodigy Doll came out of the race in good form. Her record stands at 18 starts, 4 wins, 4 shows, and one place with career earnings of $241,320. PD is a stakes winner and multiple stakes placed. As we plan the balance of her 5 year old campaign we will be looking to burnish her resume with more black type with Graded Stakes black type a primary goal.
Plans for Prodigy Doll (KY) post racing career is to retain ownership and add her to Hank Nothhaft’s successful broodmare band. Prodigy Doll was acquired by HnR via Fasig Tipton sale with Ballysax Bloodstock acting as agent.
Hank Nothhaft’s HnR NothhaftHorseracing purchased HnR homebred by American Pharoah for $220,000 at Keeneland November. Envied is out of HnR race horse and broodmare Halljoy by Halling.
Envied, campaigned by HnR, earned black type at Louisiana Downs placing in the Happy Ticket Stakes and at Colonial Downs in the Tyson Gilpin Stakes.
Upon retirement and as part of a risk mitigation strategy, HnR used a foal share arrangement to breed Envied to Justify. In order to retain 100% ownership in Envied, HnR placed Envied in the Keeneland November auction via Ballysax Bloodstock for a potential buy back..
Due to strong interest in Envied, particularly by some Japanese bidders, HnR paid up for Envied at a $220,000 price tag. Hank Nothhaft stated, “We are quite happy to retain her at this price, look forward to foaling her Justify colt in the spring, with current thinking of breeding her back to Justify.”
So, Envied is by Triple Crown winner & Breeders’ Cup Classic winner American Pharoah. Her breeding partner Justify shares the same achievements.
HnR Nothhaft Horseracing bred weanling Justify colt out of millionaire, multiple graded stakes mare Living the Life sold as Hip 24 at the Fasig Tipton Night of the Stars November 6th 2022 in Lexington, Kentucky.
