Talk to Ya Later First Stakes Winner for Perfect Timber

Talk to Ya Later 's two wins from three career starts both produced milestones for her sire Perfect Timber  .

The 3-year-old filly bred by Charles Fipke and raced by Piano Bar Racing became the sire's first winner in late November last year at Woodbine and then most recently earned the mantle of first black-type winner after capturing the Aug. 28 Algoma Stakes, also at Woodbine.

Talk to Ya Later also is the first stakes winner produced by her dam Sea The Awesome , a daughter of Sea The Stars  and a half sister to stakes winner and stakes producer Street Secret  (Street Cry). Jim Menzies bought the filly for CA$5,000 at the 2020 Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society Ontario Yearling Sale for his Piano Bar Racing partnership he started in 2017. She has since earned US$76,498 with trainer Ian Black.

Sea The Awesome has a yearling colt by Fipke's grade 1 winner Bee Jersey   and produced a full brother this year. The mare was bred back to Perfect Timber.

Perfect Timber, a grade 1-placed Fipke homebred by Fipke's homebred sire Perfect Soul , is a multiple winner and was runner-up in the 2013 Northern Dancer Turf Stakes (G1T). He was also second twice in the Singspiel Stakes (G2T) and compiled career earnings of US$223,364.

Perfect Timber stands at Colebrook Farms Stallion Station in Ontario, where he entered stud in 2018. He stood this year for CA$2,500.
