MANAGE WELL…OR NOT!

I may have mentioned it before and it’s certainly not an original concept, but I thank Charlie Macatee for teaching it to me.  What is “it?”  Well, “it” is a management concept that Charlie used to regularly embed in our brains and thank goodness mine was receptive.  Charlie was a general manager of a radio station I worked for in Washington, D.C. back in the 70’s.  I was among his group of…

Condo Commando got her name as it was inspired by co-owner Michael Dubb's career as a Long Island condominium developer.

Condo Commando won her debut race, a maiden claming by a neck. She was then given a very large jump in class, right into a Grade 1 race, the Spinaway Stakes. And the gamble paid off as she won despite an awkward start. Her next start was the Frizette Stakes where she placed 4th after going four wide and tiring. But she made up for it in her final start in 2015, winning the G2 Demoiselle Stakes.

Returning in 2015 as a three year old, she started off the year with a win in the Busher Stakes at Aqueduct. Condo's next and final win would come in the G2 Gazelle Stakes. She went on to run in the Longines Kentucky Oaks and Acorn Stakes, but finished 9th in both races.

She was purchased in 2015 at auction by Katsumi Yoshida of Shadai Farm in Japan to begin her new career as a broodmare.
