Trivia Question

Posted on by

Trivia Question for the day:

Since Mike Smith has now chosen Omaha Beach over Roadster for the Kentucky Derby and F. Geroux has picked up the mount of Roadster for the Derby, will this prove to be a bad choice or a good choice?

In the early 60’s one Hall of Fame rider picked two horses in two Derby’s to ride,  only to watch the non chosen horses to run by him on the first Saturday in May by another Hall of Fame Rider.

Can you name the riders and the horses?

Posted on by

The Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association Awards for 2018 dinner was yesterday and we took home quite a bit of hardware. 

 
ENTRUSTED won the Indiana Sired Three Year Old Filly that Penny and I bred and own with Christine and Vince Cagle.
 
FLURRY won the Three Year old Filly Indiana Bred Champion and OBSOLETE was runner up. Both were bred by Penny and I. 
 
Our homebred, THE MONEY DANCE won the Three Year Old Indiana Bred Colt that we own together with Falcon Racing (Michael J. Johnson). THE MONEY DANCE was also awarded Horse of The Year by Indiana Breed and Development as he was the Indiana Bred leading money winner of $279,453. 
 
Our broodmare, WHISTLIN’ JEAN, which is the mother of THE MONEY DANCE, WHISTLE STOP and SIGHTS AND SOUNDS won Broodmare of the Year. 
 
Penny and I were also named Indiana Breeders of the Year. This is the 6th time we have earned this award. Hopefully we can do as well this year. We have a nice crop of 2 year olds we are looking forward to racing.
