Tim Hamm

Longtime horsemen Tom Hamm and Bobby Langley have launched Top Tier Thoroughbred Management, which will provide a variety of bloodstock and racing management services to its clients, from private and auction purchases, to mating and conformation analysis. Hamm, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, has over three decades of hands-on Thoroughbred experience, starting on the racetrack as an assistant trainer for his brother, Tim Hamm, in the mid-1990s. He later transitioned to the bloodstock realm, where he rose to become general farm manager at Taylor Made Farm and general manager of...

2nd-Thistledown, $33,400, Msw, 6-26, 2yo, 5f, 1:00.24, ft, 1 1/2 lengths. COASTLAND (c, 2, Promises Fulfilled--Mother Nature, by Winslow Homer) debuted as a 5-2 shot here. The homebred was second last up the backstretch, but he was under a drive to the outside around the far turn. Utilizing a full-head of steam, the 2-year-old secured the front at the sixteenth marker and won by 1 1/2 lengths over Freedom Stance (American Freedom). A half-sister to SW Faction Cat (Wildcat Heir), the winner's unraced dam is responsible for a yearling filly...

Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief--Gottahaveadream, by Indian Charlie), winner of the 2020 GI Frizette S. and runner-up in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, fetched a final bid of $2.85 million from Shadai Farm as the fireworks continued at the Newtown Paddocks Tuesday evening. The dark bay filly, cataloged as hip 156, is out of a half-sister to GISW Here Comes Ben, also hails from the female family of Grade I-winning half-brothers Albertus Maximus (Albert the Great) and Daredevil (More Than Ready). Raced by trainer Tim Hamm in partnership with Siena Farm...

Nacho Patino had high hopes for Dayoutoftheoffice before she had even hit the ground at Siena Farm. Her dam, Gottahaveadream (Indian Charlie), was a relatively large mare and had consistently thrown size and scope in her first three foals, so the Siena team had decided to pair her with Into Mischief. The resulting foal, Patino said, was better than what they had imagined. "I loved the filly when she was born," Siena Farm's General Manager explained. "She was a big, strong filly with the size and scope we were hoping...

Tim Hamm and Siena Farm's Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief), winner of last season's GI Frizette S. and GIII Schuylerville S., has been retired from racing and will be offered at the upcoming Fasig-Tipton November sale. The Siena-bred filly, who concluded her juvenile campaign with a runner-up finish behind Vequist (Nyquist) in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Keeneland last fall, kicked off 2021 with a second in Churchill's GII Eight Belles S. Apr. 30 before finishing fourth in her most recent start in the GI Acorn S. June 5. The...

Blazing Meadows Farm and Siena Farm's Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief) makes her belated seasonal debut in the GII Eight Belles S. on the GI Kentucky Oaks undercard Friday. A romping winner of the GIII Schuylerville S. at Saratoga last July, the dark bay added a two-length tally in the one-turn-mile GI Frizette S. at Belmont Oct. 10, but she settled for second when Frizette runner-up Vequist (Nyquist) turned the tables on her in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. The Tim Hamm pupil recorded a couple breezes at Tampa in January,...

With more than 1300 wins and $30 million in career earnings, a training center in Florida and a breeding operation in Ohio, Tim Hamm has already done plenty to prove his skills as a horseman and businessman. But on Friday, he'll get a chance to showcase his program on the biggest stage when he sends out unbeaten and more or less untested Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief) to take on the household barns in the GI Juvenile Fillies. It will be his first runner, as a trainer at least, in the World...

Blazing Meadows Farm and Siena Farm's three-for-three GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies hopeful Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief) turned in her first published breeze since annexing Belmont's GI Frizette S. in the Keeneland mud Friday, covering five panels in 1:00.40 (1/3). The dark bay worked solo through splits of :12.80, :25.40, :37.00 and galloped out in 1:12.80 and 1:27 flat. "I think it was her best work. She finished up really strong and galloped out great," said trainer Tim Hamm, who co-owns the filly under his Blazing Meadows banner. "I weighed working...

Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief), away since a smashing success in the GIII Schuylerville S. at Saratoga July 16, picked up right where she left off to earn an automatic berth to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in Saturday's GI Frizette S. at Belmont. Co-owned by her trainer Tim Hamm and breeder Siena Farms, the daughter of the nation's hottest stallion was an easy debut winner at Gulfstream all the way back on May 14 in her only other start. Back as the second choice at 29-10 behind GI Spinaway S....

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.--Just like always, the bell in the winner's circle was rung 17 minutes before every race at the Spa Thursday afternoon. Of course. Exactly 17 minutes. Even on the most unusual of opening days at Saratoga Race Course, tradition was served. It is Saratoga after all. Phil Linguiti did the honors, yanking the strap that moved the clapper to produce the sound. Linguiti, a former jockey and longtime white cap in the clubhouse, is a familiar figure at Saratoga. Since this 152nd season is racing in Saratoga Springs...
