The weather might be hot, but we've got the coolest t-shirt in town. Join us this Saturday for our T-Shirt giveaway celebrating our Hometown Hero - Catlaunch! This scrappy horse has been training at River Downs since he was a 2-year-old. Last year at 10 years of age he eclipsed the $1 million mark and was crowned Ohio Horse of the Year for the third time.

The t-shirt features a full-color photo of the champ who will be paraded between races on Saturday by his trainer Ivan Vazquez. To get your collector's t-shirt, purchase a live River Downs program and redeem your coupon at The Regular Guy Pub in the grandstand. Supplies are limited, gates open at 11:30 a.m. and live racing scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m.

Someone alert Calzone Lord.

Catlaunch has retired and is looking to Old Friends for a retirement home at 12 years of age, having raced 11 consecutive years. Of 108 starts he was 40-22-15, a multiple stakes winner, ranked in the Top 100 in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and earned over $1.1 million.

Congratulations to him.

Catlaunch has arrived at Old Friends.

Last week saw the arrival of another multiple stakes winner who deserves enormous respect. Ohio bred Catlaunch started 107 times and won over $1 million. Right through the age of 12 he stacked up a list of Ohio stakes wins as tall as he is (and Catlaunch is very tall). He won the Babst/Palacios Memorial H and Gendelman Memorial H 4 times each, the George Lewis Memorial S 3 times and the Rowland Memorial no less than 6 times! He’s all heart and he’s sweet, too. He likes to lick faces and ears.

He's in fine company: Rail Trip, Geronimo, Areyoutalkintome, Maybesomaybenot (nice match, eh?) and Johannesbourbon all arrived at Old Friends in the last few weeks. I'm eager to visit again soon.

Edit: How did this thread end up in the Breeders' Cup Archive?
