Chesapeake City, MD — Beloved broodmare, Doin’ The Town 2,1:57.3; 3,1:54.2 ($475,274), died from foaling complications on April 5, 2016.

Doin’ The Town was a stakes-winning daughter of Donerail and a 12-time winner. She was a half-sister to Baltic Brat 3,1:57.3; 1:55.4s ($232,160), dam of Winbak Brat 2,1:57.3; 3,T1:54.3 ($242,851).

Doin’ The Town was owned through her racing and partly through her breeding career by the partnership of Barbara Baum and Joe Thomson (of Winbak Farm). When Barbara Baum passed away, Winbak Farm bought out the partnership.

During her racing career, she was trained by Wayne Nickells and later by Paula and William Wellwood.

At 2, she won the Bluegrass, Kentucky Standardbred Sale, Merrie Annabelle elimination, and New Jersey Sire Stakes leg and final. She was second in the International Stallion Stakes. At 3, Doin’ The Town was a winner of a Kentucky Futurity elimination and race-off. She also won the Simcoe. She was second in the Historic – Coaching Club Oaks leg, Matron elimination, three New Jersey Sire Stakes legs and a heat of the World Filly Trotting Derby. As an older racehorse, she was a multiple Preferred winner.

She was the dam of nine foals, highlighted by Dancing In Thehall 2,1:55-’15 ($75,958), who won in the International Stallion Stakes at The Red Mile in 2015. Her latest foal, a Lucky Chucky filly, will have high expectations for the New York Sire Stakes.

Her daughters, Dancing Slippers, Day At The Spa and Doin The City, will continue her legacy as Winbak Farm broodmares.

Doin’ The Town will be missed but always remembered for the great memories she gave her partnership while racing.
