First NY-Bred Foal of 2022 Arrives at Edition Farm Jan. 1

Tanmawwy (Candy Ride --Wasseema, by Danzig), owned by Tanmawwy Partners, gave birth to the first NY-bred foal of the year, a filly by Central Banker, at Vivien Malloy's Edition Farm in Hyde Park, N.Y., on New Year's Day.

Bred by Shadwell Farm, the unraced 6-year-old mare Tanmawwy was purchased at the 2020 Keenland November Sale carrying her first foal, a filly by the young Shadwell stallion Mohaymen. Her dam Waseema was a multiple stakes winner and graded stakes-placed in Europe, who also produced stakes-placed Ekhtibaar (Bernardini).

"She truly is a New Year's Day filly! Tanmawwy delivered the beautiful, flashy bay filly at 5:00 a.m." Teri Brown, manager at Edition Farm, commented. "This foal is the first of 30 to be born at the farm this year."

Lewisboro Land Trust Hosts Book Signing for Vivien G. Malloy's Memoir "My Life as a Long Shot: From Cuba to Rye"

On June 6th, 2021, the Lewisboro Land Trust hosted a book signing for Vivien G. Malloy’s memoir “My Life as a Long Shot: From Cuba to Rye” at Birdstone Farm in Cross River, NY. Vivien greeted guests and read excerpts from her book.

Vivien Goodman Malloy's life as a "long shot" began years before her life as a horsewoman and horse breeder-in fact, her long-shot die was cast before she was born. It begins in 1909, in Spain, with the surprise birth of her mother, an unexpected and premature twin of a baby brother who doesn't live. Maria Consuelo Candida Francisca Catarina de Siena Robato y Mañach--- "Nena"-does. She grows up in Cuba, falls in love, and marries Rafaele "Lello" Matacena, learning she is pregnant while he is back in Naples tending to his disapproving Italian family. Lello never returns. Nena gives birth to Vivien and three years later marries Andrew Goodman, heir to the Bergdorf Goodman department store. Little Vivien Matacena becomes Vivien Goodman, trading her abuelita's home in Havana for a penthouse above the family store in Manhattan. A Cinderella story of sorts, but life is more complicated, and this is just the start of twists and turns, triumphs and tragedies that make up Vivien Goodman Malloy's My Life as a Long Shot: From Cuba to Rye.

A portion of book sales will be donated to the Retired Racehorse Project.
