Indiana Breeder Awards

We attended the Indiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association awards dinner over the weekend as we had four horses that had been nominated. We came home with two awards. One was for DREAMIN’ BIG who won the 2013 Champion Older Mare Indiana Bred for the second year in a row. The other was for JOINT TENANT who won the 2013 Champion 3 Year Old Indiana Colt Sired division. Earlier in 2013 we were honored as the 2012 Indiana Breeder of the Year , which is the third trophy in this photo.

It was a very nice dinner held at the newly named Indiana Grand Racing and Casino (formerly Indiana Downs) and we are grateful for the awards and want to thank ITOBA.

PGA!

Golf tournament tickets are on sale this week for the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla which is right outside Louisville and less than 10 miles from the farm. We will gladly move out of our house and rent it out for the week to anyone who is interested.

Two for Two of the Twos

The stable won another 2 year old race tonight at Indiana Downs. MISTER POLLARD won his second time out going 5/8ths Open Maiden Special. He is a Indiana Bred colt that we bred in Indiana and raised on our farm in Finchville, Kentucky. His owners are W.Scott Farrar, James Farrar, Falcon Racing Stable (Mike Johnson, Tony Medley et al) and Penny Lauer. Two 2 yr. old winners in two days. Both second time out.

2-Year-Old Winner!

We won our first Two Year Old Race tonight with a homebred colt named AFT. He is a Indiana Bred by Mizzen Mast that was raised on our farm. He won a open Maiden Special at Indiana Downs and because he was an Indiana Bred his portion of the purse was as if the race was for $49,000 rather than $35,000.

Half a Mil!

The stable has gone over a half million dollars in earnings for 2013 and we hope to boost it a lot more tonight. This is a big day at Indiana Downs as they offer over $600,000 in Indiana Bred purse money. If you want to get in on the fun, we have a few Indiana Breds we would be willing to sell either partially or wholly. Give me a call!
