The international involvement of BSW Bloodstock has proven to be quite successful this month. Stormy Victoria (FR) ran 2nd in the G3 Athenia Stakes at Belmont Park despite an outside post position. She ran her career best Beyer speed figure (98) and now has 2 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third from 6 starts in 6 months. Now a winner of $230,000, Stormy Victoria was bred in France and was purchased by BSW Bloodstock for $123,000 at the 2015 ARQANA Saint Cloud ‘Arc de Triomphe’ sale. Trainer Christophe Clement will most likely point this talented filly to the $200,000 G2 Bessarbian Stakes at Woodbine on November 19th.
