ALLENTOWN, NJ – September 1, 2016 – A beautiful bay colt bred by Millstream Farm and Michael Taranto needs a name. The harness racing seventh episode of "Fika with Jonas," which airs on YouTube, starting on September 1, 2016, introduces the son of Muscle Hill – Mistery Woman and takes viewers to Millstream Farm in Allentown, NJ and Southwind Farm in Pennington, NJ to meet Muscle Hill and stallion manager Charlie Williams.
"We need a name for Mistery Woman's first foal," said Jonas Czernyson, who trained the $480,360 earner. The multiple stakes winning Mistery Woman raced from 2012 to 2015, posting 11 wins, two seconds and 10 thirds in 39 starts and trotted to her 1:51 world record for four-year-olds in the Allerage at Kentucky's Red Mile. She was mated to 2009 Horse of the Year and Hambletonian winner Muscle Hill.
"In addition to our racing operation, we have two breeding farms," Czernyson explained. "My mother-in-law, Claudean Cone, oversees Millstream Farm in Georgetown, KY, and my wife, Christine, manages the 76-acre Millstream Farm here in Allentown, NJ."
The Czernysons and Mistery Woman's co-owner, Michael Taranto, will select a winning name, inviting submissions to the comments option on YouTube, or the Facebook and Twitter pages for Team JC.
The deadline is September 22, 2016, and the winner will be announced on the October episode of Fika with Jonas. Prizes will be awarded, too.
Fika is the Swedish word for a coffee break, and Swedish-born trainer Jonas Czernyson, who is stabled at Winners Training Center in Chesterfield, NJ, is the star of the monthly series produced by Cody Bach Productions.
Questions and comments may be sent to Christine and Jonas Czernyson through the Team JC Stable page on Facebook, @teamjcstable on Twitter or by email to info@teamjc.net.
