I remember so clearly when she came to Chicago for the Chicago Breeders' Cup Handicap...in her first trip outside of LA-bred company. Couldn't have had any idea what kind of runner she'd go on to be, but I remember quite well thinking she was a really special gal at that point, even if it was against state-breds.

And of course, as things would happen, she didn't feel ready to lose up here either.

Very glad to have been able to see her in person.

One of our undercard races on Super Derby day is the Happy Ticket for 2-year-old fillies. She's extremely well known. In the few years I've been here, we've given out two posters on her.

The photo of her first foal was exceptional... by Distorted Humor. Let's hope it's a runner!

She'll be selling in September at the Keeneland sale. Steward Madison still owns the Distorted Humor yearling and the Empire Maker foal.
