The first time we took him to work at EVE, I went to borrow a shadow roll and the man told me he would let me borrow it but dont blame him if it out ran that ugly ass horse. He went on to win his first 3 outs, then win the trial, then the Futurity. She was the first woman to win the futurity at that time and no woman has won it since. She is also still the only trainer, man or woman to win the Futurity then come back the next year and win the Derby with the same horse. Sorry for being long winded but I am very proud of her.

that is awesome!!
