Things at the track have been quiet lately, with an unexplained lag in activity causing a much slower pace than is typical. However, that doesn't mean that things aren't happening.

Oak Hill Farm are having a magnificent season so far, and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Having struggled in the past few years, this old name looks to be on the rise and isn't to be overlooked. The names running from this stable may not be the biggest, but they have the potential to be and are determined to prove that.

Three year old colt, Livin' The Jazz, is just one of the horses which are running for the stable this season and although he is yet to claim a victory all three of his starts have shown strong finishes. Largely overlooked last season, Jax is not to be underestimated with his almost perfect consistency and should start to truly become a threat over the next few months. Even though he is yet to enter any preps for the series, we are secretly hoping to see him run at least one leg of the Turf Triple Crown this year.

Speaking of Triple Crowns, who can forget Impressario? The first horse to ever win a Triple Crown series here at Green Horse Fields and still one of only two series winners, this horse's name is legend and you don't have to look far to find a reminder of the stallion.

Perhaps some of the best reminders are his offspring - having been retired from the track, Impressario seemed determined to further prove himself and his first batch of offspring, now three years old, all shone on the track last year, and have continued to do so this season. His daughter, Ventura, is looking to be a strong contender for the Triple Tiara this year while her half sister Italian Ice looks to be heading for the Turf Triple Crown, which has never been claimed. What are your thoughts on Impressario's offspring so far? We'd love to know.

That's it for this installment, but we look forward to responding to comments, hearing from readers and of course bringing you the next installment, due after the Stable Face Off.
