Winner at Aqueduct today race 9

Postby henthorn » Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:47 pm

Big Business. son of Eddington o/o Spanish Guitar, won at $62,500 claiming, 7 furlongs, after a 100 day layoff. I guess he's well-rested, because he made it look easy. His earnings passed the $300,000 mark today. I own his dam and siblings.

Wilf, as a New York breeder for this foal, I get 15% of the purse for a win. Now my horses are registered OK-breds, as I'm corralling my expenses on travel and boarding. :)

Aren't you glad Gary Barber took him back to NY, smart thing to do. He seems to be taking good care of this big guy. Henthorn I'm guessing BB topped out around 16.2h? Have you seen him in person since he's matured?

Diane, I haven't seen him since he was a yearling, but he is built like his mother, and she's 16'1'. He has her scope and big hip, and her competitive nature. I have to give some of the credit to his sire Eddington, who had the much better racing career. It's too bad Eddington doesn't match with a lot of mares; my mare has unusual ancestry, being from Bold Ruler and Hail to Reason thru lesser sires Raja Baba and Proud Clarion respectively.
