Jell-O and the Carolina Cup

Jell-O---you might ask what in the world does Jell-O have to do with the Camden horse scene?

Well, let’s explore that a little further.

In 1926 a New York gentleman named Ernest Woodward had sold his family’s business, the Jell-O Company, to Marjorie Merriweather Post and her husband E.F. Hutton for $67 million dollars as an early acquisition of what eventually became the General Foods Corporation.

You see, Ernest Woodward was an avid sportsman and outdoorsman. He loved to hunt and fish and was an asute businessman. Ernest Woodward was also obsessed with his Thoroughbred race horses and his hounds.

Due to Camden’s reputation as a pleasant Southern horse community, Woodward and his friend Harry Kirkover decided to become winter residents and bought estates in Camden.

Ernest Woodward and his wife Edith owned the 25 acre Holly Hedge estate in the historic district of the downtown area as their winter home from 1926 to 1944 when they then sold it to their nearby neighbor, Marion duPont Scott.

Mike Mischner Camden Media Co. Woodward and Kirkover became benefactors to their new adopted home town--especially in all things related to the equine community. They were integral to the founding of the Camden Hunt. And, most importantly Kirkover convinced Woodward to buy 400 acres which became the Springdale Racetrack which was the first full-length steeplechase course in this country where all the jumps could be seen from the same spot. In 1930, it became the home of the Carolina Cup Steeplechase.

Ernest Woodward was a Director of General Foods, the corporate owner of Jell-O, until his death in 1948.

So, many things have contributed to making Camden the Steeplechase Capital of the World and one of the surprising things, as you now can see, was Jell-O.

Skyline Club sure to deliver The 87th running of the Carolina Cup Races presented by Mullikin Law will bring new and exciting changes to our beloved Spring steeplechase race! One of these changes include the addition of the Discover South Carolina Skyline Club, situated atop the Springdale Race Course grandstand.

Since the grandstand was erected

By TOBY EDWARDS more than three decades ago, the top two tiers in the left hand corner of the structure have been used for horsemen to view the races from the highest point on the grounds while having an unobstructed view of the action on the race course. Now, that premier spot will be open and available to our guests.

The Discover South Carolina Skyline Club is a three-tier, all-inclusive, suite-style experience. Guests will have access to an open bar stocked with top of the line liquor and other drink options. Each suite, which is being sold for $3,000 each, is designed to accommodate up to eight people. All suites will be carpeted with tables, comfortable seating and will be covered by a canopy to protect guests from the sun or, hopefully not, rain and other elements. All of our suite guests will be treated to in-suite hor d’oeuvres and fullservice short plate stations for a complete day at the races!

The suite hor d’oeuvre menu will include items such as charcuterie boards, mini tomato pies and tea sandwiches.

Short plate stations will include Bourbon Beef Tenderloin served with browned butter potato puree and Crab Cakes served with Adluh grits and crispy collard greens. And of course, dessert! It will really be the only place at the Carolina Cup races where you can access such exclusive service and idealistic views.

In addition to the suite itself, guests will receive VIP parking privileges, access into the paddock between races allowing access to the horses, jockeys, owners and trainers and the best view of the racing action.

If you want to attend an event and experience it at the very top level, every stadium will offer you a club level or suite level option and it is the obvious way to go.

Based on that knowledge and the lacking attraction to the grandstand, the Carolina Cup Racing Association team thought best to repurpose this area to offer a new, more luxurious hospitality experience to our guests. This past spring, we sold out both our Turf Club and Post and Paddock luncheon tents and had to turn away others when both reached capacity levels. We do not have the ability to expand either of those areas and we felt there was room for another high-end hospitality experience at the races.

If you are familiar with our grandstand, what had been two boxes will now become one Skyline Club suite. There will only be 12 suites which will only accommodate 96 8 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2022

people, so it will be a very exclusive ticket. We have already had a positive reaction on the Discover South Carolina Skyline Club. It is being very well received. We believe there is a market for it and a strong place for it moving forward.

In addition to the Discover South Carolina Skyline Club, we will be expanding our Kid’s Zone in the infield beside the Vendor Village this year! We hope to bring new activities and cost-free options for the children at the Cup to have a great day at the racecourse! Some activities we have had in the past and will continue to bring back come April 2, 2022 include pony rides, face painting, balloon animals, stick pony rides in association with Palmetto Pony Club and boy scout activities hosted by the Indian Waters Council. Make sure to tell your friends and family with young children of this new exciting addition to the 2022 Carolina Cup Races! ********** On a side note, due to the late May race date of the 2021 Carolina Cup Races, the Carolina Cup Racing Association was forced to cancel our Biscuits and Breezing program, which had proven to be popular and was drawing a large and loyal following.

Biscuits and Breezing allows fans to get an up close look at horses in training at the Springdale Race Course as they go through their Saturday morning workout on the race course. Following each set, we try to get a trainer or a rider, if possible, to talk about the horses which they have worked out and what race that particular Thoroughbred is being pointed toward. In many cases, these are horses that will be racing at the Carolina Cup! With the Carolina Cup returning to its regular race date --- the second stop on the National Steeplechase Association’s 2022 schedules --- Biscuits and Breezing will return from its one-year hiatus. The two dates the public can come out to watch horses train will be Saturday, Feb. 26 and Saturday, March 12. On both occasions, horses and riders will take to the course beginning at 8 a.m. with sets running throughout the early to mid-morning hours.

As has been tradition, the CCRA will provide breakfast food items along with coffee or water.

We look forward to bringing back this fun Springdale racecourse Saturday morning event and hope you will be able to join us as we count down the days to Camden’s day at the races. Note: Please use Gate 1, 302 Knights Hill Rd., and park beside the grandstand.

(Camden resident Toby Edwards became the executive director of the Carolina Cup Races on July 1, 2019. The former owner/trainer is also director for the Tryon Block House Races and the Steeplechase at Charleston events.)

Biscuits and Breezing returns to Springdale, bringing fans close to the racing action

Biscuits and Breezing returns to the Springdale Race Course Saturday, Feb. 26.

Morning Thunder

By TOM DIDATO

For years, race fans have taken to the track in the relative calm of the early morning to watch horses and riders go about their daily routine minus the large crowds which chow up for the races.

That is no different in Camden when it comes to the Carolina Cup presented by Mullikin Law. Until COVID-19 threw an unwanted wrench into the plans, the Carolina Cup Racing Association had a nice thing going with its Saturday morning Biscuits and Breezing series leading up to the running of the Camden spring classic.

For three years, horses training in and around the Springdale Race Course took to the grounds of the facility for sets of public works. Then, in 2021, the pandemic forced the Carolina Cup to push back its race day from its normal spot as the second stop on the National Steeplechase Association circuit to a safer slot in late May. With most horses already having run or, their trainers eyeing a race for them in the coming weeks along with most horses having left Camden to return to barns in other locales, Biscuits and Breezing was scrapped.

This year, following a one-year hiatus, Biscuits and Breezing will return to Springdale and will serve as the lead-up to the 87th running of the Carolina Cup Races to be contested Saturday, April 2. The first set of runners will take to the course at or near 8 a.m. with sets continuing to work out until mid- to late-morning.

The two event dates are set for Saturday, Feb. 26 and Saturday, March 12. The first set of runners will take to the course at or near 8 a.m. with sets continuing to work out until mid- to late-morning, depending on the number of horses 10 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2022

and riders which are in training.

The two days are spread out in order to avoid conflict with point-to-point races which could take horses from Camden in order to travel over fences in those events.

Biscuits and Breezing is free and open to the public. Free coffee and biscuits will be provided to those on hand for the two sessions.

The Saturday morning works --- all run on the flat --- will be held in front of the main grandstand at the Springdale Race Course. Riding mostly in sets of two --- and, sometimes three ---, horses and riders travel in front of those in attendance.

As opposed to the hustle and bustle in the Springdale grandstand on Carolina Cup race day, fans can get an up close look at horses and riders from a few yards away.

Guests are also treated to an announcer informing them of the horse, its rider for the day, the trainer and its past performances and plans for 2022. In many instances, the trainer of the Thoroughbred on the course will take the microphone to talk about their horses and answer questions from the public, if time and circumstances permit.

Riding mostly in sets of two --- and, sometimes three ---, horses and riders travel in front of those in attendance. As always, the workouts are free of charge.

The public may enter the race course through the main gate on Knights Hill Rd. and should park in the area behind or, alongside the grandstand on front row paddock side parking.

Guests are reminded to bring their own chairs should they wish.

Children are invited to come to the workouts but organizers ask that all dogs be kept at home for the safety of the horses, riders and guests.

Staige DeBenedetti’s World Champion With perfect scores across the board in her World Cup performance, Paloma de Besilu is ...

Flawless inEvery

D D

Way

By TOM DIDATO

Trainer Johnny Lanier tends to world champion Paso Fina mare Paloma de Besilu at his De Los Mejores Ranch.

on’t bother looking around Camden’s more familiar equine haunts when searching for a world champion. It’s going to take some patience and a few extra miles on the odometer to get to De Los Mejores Ranch in the northernmost portion of Kershaw County to find what you are looking for.

Tucked away off Lockhart Road, you will eventually come to the property on which Johnny Lanier plies his trade not with Thoroughbreds, which are so common in Camden.

Instead, the North Carolina native who arrived in Kershaw County by way of California, works his magic with Paso Finos; some 29 of them, in fact. None, however, has the title world champion as does Paloma de Besilu.

Tom Didato photo Winter 2022 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- 15

Owned by Camden’s Staige DeBenedetti, Paloma de Besilu is the star of the barn, even though you wouldn’t know it given her easygoing, laidback demeanor. The 13-year-old is simply happy to be one of the girls.

On this sunny December morning, there was a bit of chill in the air. The sun glistened off Paloma’s deep brown coat, leading a young visitor to pet the mare and remark how it warmed his hands while the horse never flinched. That comes with the territory when it comes to Paso Finos, a breed which Lanier calls “real people horses,” and which are known for their distinctive, yet smooth, gait.

First brought to the Dominican Republic by Christopher Columbus, Paso Finos --- which means fine step --- were bred by Spanish land owners living in Puerto Rico and Colombia. Over time, they have been bred in Cuba and the United States.

With her victory at last fall’s World Cup in Miami in the Bella Forma --- conformation --- discipline, Paloma de Besilu is the people’s horse.

When competing in Bella forma, Paso Finos do not work under saddle or, with a rider.

Instead, there are two persons driving the horse from each side with a rope as the horse traverses a board on which its distinctive evenly-spaced, four-beat lateral gait with each foot contacting the ground independently in a regular sequence at precise intervals creates a rapid, unbroken rhythm. At the end of the class, the board is removed in order to assure the horse’s gait is pure.

A four-time American Grand National champion and one-time reserve champion for DeBenedetti, Paloma de Besilu had never competed for a world title until she arrived in Miami last fall for the bi-annual World Cup. It was hardly a case of stage fright or, beginner’s luck for that matter. Paso De Besilu became a horse for the ages on that day.

“Usually, it goes between Puerto Rico, Columbia and the United States,” DeBenedetti said of the World Cup and her horse’s entry into

it. “This was the first year we could show this mare in the World Cup without traveling to a different country, which is why we took her.”

Paloma rewarded her owner and trainer Lanier’s faith in her by wowing the crowd and then , the judges … even a pair who were alternates and took in that part of the competition from the stands.

“They were just in awe of her,” Lanier said as to both the judge’s scores and reactions after Paloma’s time in the show ring that evening.

“Conformation is 70 percent and the rest is on the way of going, mannerisms and appearance; that all counts for it. The priority, of course, is the gait and the soundness structure of the horse. In Bella Forma, when they score them, each third gets 20 points per third of the horse’s body. Hers came to 60 percent and she’s the only horse to ever get 60 percent (points) from every judge. There were seven judges and only five judged the class. The others in the stands rotate in and they came down from the stands to also let me know their comments on her.

“They take 40 percent or, 40 points, on the way of going, the style of the horse and the gait. They said she was the only horse they had ever seen that got 100 points, 100 percent, from every judge there.

Even the ones not judging the class said ‘This is mine.’ They wanted everyone to know that it was unanimous. That’s what blew me away.

They just don’t tell you that.”

What came next was also unusual in the sport.

In fact, it was all but unheard of when crowning a champion. We’ll let Lanier tell the story as to the rest of the special night.

“The part that we liked the best was the judge’s commentary of the horse, because they never do this. Usually, they break down a class and they pull out say the fifth-place horse and have it move around as they explain why it placed fifth … same thing with fourth and third. Then, they bring out first and second and they explain their difference and then, announce the winner,” Lanier explained with a smile creasing his face.

“In this one, they brought (Paloma) to the center of the ring ... They said she was in any aspect; She never changes frame.”

not flawed

16 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2022

Tom Didato photo Levi Arnett, a 10-year-old from Camden, admires Paloma de Besilu while her trainer, Johnny Lanier, looks on.

“In this one, they brought (Paloma) to the center of the ring and broke her down in thirds. They said she was not flawed in any aspect; her way of going, her front, middle and rear sections, the plumbness on the legs --- moving and standing --- and just her carriage the whole team. She never changes frame.”

Being crowned a world champion has its perks and for Paloma de Besilu, hers came in the ultimate compliment when a pair of South American judges from the event told Lanier and DeBenedetti that they were putting a book together on the Paso Fino and wanted to feature Paloma prominently in their journal. Lanier said he was nearly floored when hearing the news.

“The book is going to have photos and articles in it talking about conformation and form to function of the horses and why they work the way they do. They wanted to use her for the photos in their book,” he said proudly. “They were going around and taking pictures of her and everything. They’re thrilled with it. What a compliment to this mare.”

For Lanier, bringing Paloma de Besilu into his barn was a quest which began for him nearly five years after having first laid eyes on the mare, then-owned by Hugh Rose, at a show in Virginia which he was working along with his wife, Vickie. It was love at first sight for a trainer who made it his mission to someday own the prettiest and most perfect horse he had ever seen.

“They were going around and taking pictures of her and everything.

They’re thrilled with it. What a

compliment to this mare.”

“I said to him, ‘I want to tell you that is the piece of horse I’ve ever laid my eyes on and I’ve seen a lot.’”

finest

“When I first laid eyes on her at a show in Virginia, I told Vickie, ‘I’ll be back,’” said Lanier, whose father and grandfather were both farriers in North Carolina and who, at one time, thought he might be destined to follow in their footsteps. “I went across the arena and saw Hugh there and asked if that was his horse.

He said, ‘Yes it is. I just got her.’ I said to him, ‘I want to tell you that is the finest piece of horse I’ve ever laid my eyes on and I’ve seen a lot.’

“He said her just bought her and I asked if he would ever sell her. I said, ‘If you ever sell her, do I get a chance?’ He said he would give me a chance. I told him that I had a lot of horses, but I don’t have anything like this in my barn.

That’s when I saw her as a four-year-old.”

“I told Vicky that if I ever get to set my seat on her that she’ll win the grand. I’ll make her a grand champion.”

Rose held onto Paloma for the next four years before circumstances led to his putting his prized mare on the sales block. Even though he had promised Lanier the chance to purchase Paloma, Lanier and DeBenedetti had to wait out a process in which she was nearly sold to an owner from Puerto Rico.

First, however, came a call to Lanier from DeBenedetti, who was on her way to Germany.

Years earlier, DeBenedetti saw fillies out of a particular sire at a show in Ocala, Fla., and told Lanier that, one day, if possible, she would like to have one of its fillies since they were showing very well at the event. Lanier said he thought he might know where one was.

“A couple months went by and I was on my way to the airport to go to Germany for something when I thought, ‘Johnny never called me about 18 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2022

that filly,’” DeBenedetti said with a laugh recalling the moment. “I called him up and he said that he forgot and had too much going on.”

“I blew it off,” Lanier said. “The gentleman (Rose) who owned her called me out of the blue.

I asked if Staige called him and he said no.

Anyway, I asked him what was up and he said that they were going to sell the mare and that I had always told him that I wanted a chance (to buy her.) Then, he said, ‘The only problem is that you have to buy the package; the mare and filly together; that’s the only way I’m going to sell them.’

“I said, ‘Hugh, can you give me a price?’ He told me, ‘Don’t advertise it because that will only be for you.’”

Hearing the news, Lanier quickly called DeBenedetti in Germany. The deal was made in a matter of seconds, well, so they thought.

“Johnny said, ‘Staige, I talked to Hugh Rose and he said he is willing to sell the mare as a package and that the filly goes with her. I said the filly’s good. He told me the price and I said, ‘Johnny, you have a signed check in your drawer at the office. Sign it. Buy it, buy them both now,’” she said.

“It was something from above.”

Now, for the other part of the story as to how this deal nearly never came to fruition …

Rose had all but wrapped up a sale for Paloma to an owner from Puerto Rico, who made a down payment on the mare and was sending a shipper to Rose with the balance of the money to complete the transaction. Trouble was, Rose never knew the mare was to be flown from the United States. Then, when the shipper told him of the owners’ plans, the deal was nixed.

“When they came to pick her up to put her on the plane, they said that she was going to be going to Puerto Rico. Hugh said, ‘No, we just got her confirmed in foal. She’ll probably lose the foal because it’s been a hard time for her,” Lanier said.

“The guy said, ‘We don’t care. If she does, we’ll just re-breed her over there.’

He took their check, handed it back to them and said the horse wasn’t for sale.”

From there, the call was made to Lanier who --after four years --- finally was able to secure his horse of a lifetime along with the filly who is a stall next to her mother and is one whom DeBenedetti has high hopes for when it comes her time to show.

Paloma de Besilu is now part of a barn which includes upwards of 30 A back injury led Staige DeBenedetti to look into riding Paso Finos. Today, she Paso Finos. The number owns a World Cup champion.

87th CarolinaCup

By TOM DIDATO

T

he race before the race is upon us.

General admission tickets, reserved parking spaces and hospitality reservations for the Carolina Cup Races presented by Mullikin Law are in full swing. The race day at the Springdale Race Course is Saturday, April 2, 2022.

Those purchasing early bird general admission tickets have until Friday, Feb. 18 at noon to get a $10 discount on the $50 ticket price which will go into effect after that time. Patrons who had reserved parking spaces for last spring’s races have until Friday, Jan. 28 at noon to secure those spots. After that date and time, all spaces will be placed on sale to the general public.

The Carolina Cup Racing Association (CCRA) is reminding its patrons that all communication between the race office and its patrons will be paperless and that hard copy invitations to the race will no longer be mailed.

The CCRA will use its revamped website at carolinacup. org, email and social media platforms to notify patrons of their ticket sales and other pertinent information regarding the 2022 races.

Cup-goers may notice a slight uptick in cost for tickets, parking and hospitality areas. The reason for that, said Carolina Cup executive director Toby Edwards, is due to the increase of prices for services and products associated with the event in relation to the pandemic and the shortage in necessary goods.

“I hate to sound like a broken record, but I think that we are all aware of the rising costs associated with COVID. That is particularly poignant with events,” said Edwards, who is also race director for National Steeplechase Association race meets held in Tryon, N.C., and Charleston. “The managing, setting up and

24 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2022

the running of an event are labor-intensive. Setting up the hospitality tents, tailgating tents and any tent on the property is labor-intensive. The tent companies are handing down to us a fairly significant increase in the cost of renting their services.

“Everything has gone up in price. Our luncheon tents have seen a significant increase in food and beverage and the tenting and staffing of those tents. It is regrettable, but necessary to increase our prices. We spent a lot of time and thought on this in our office.”

Here are the prices and other information regarding tickets, parking spaces and hospitality for the Carolina Cup Races presented by Mullikin Law: General admission tickets: $40, if purchased by Friday, Feb. 18, 2022and $50 thereafter.

Tickets will be on sale at all gates on race day.

(Note: Children under the age of 12 will be admitted to the races free of charge, if accompanied by an adult ticket-holder.)

Infield Parking: Row A: $250; Row B: $225; Row C: $200; Row D: $175; Rows E & F: $150; All spaces include two general admission tickets West and East Rail(s) parking: $200 per parking space; All spaces include two general admission tickets Front Row Paddock: Spaces 1-30 and 234-297: $250; Spaces 31-233: $350 (tents are not allowed in spaces 31 through 233); All spaces include two general admission tickets Restricted Parking: For oversized vehicles: $300; All spaces includes two general admission tickets Grandstand Box: $600 per box; $150 for an individual seat. The cost for six seats in the box includes premier seating at the finish line and two boxholder parking credentials.

Individual seats also come with one boxholder parking credential which allows patrons to view the races from the best seats at the race course. Additional parking tags are available for $100 each.

Turf Club Luncheon Tent: $200 per person; $100 per child ticket (12 and under) Open to box holders only.

Post and Paddock Tent: $125 per person. $75 per child ticket (12 and under); Limited adjacent parking pass: $75. Available to all race patrons The Meadow Packages (formerly College Park) Pony Package: $1,000 (includes a 15 x 15 tent; 10 general admission tickets and five car parking passes) Colt Package: $1,700 (includes a 15 x 15 tent; 25 general admission tickets and 10 car parking passes) Thoroughbred Package: $2,200 (includes a 20 x 20 tent; 30 general admission tickets and 15 car parking passes) Champion Package: $3,400 (includes a 30 x 30 tent; 50 general admission tickets and 25 car parking passes) (For further information, please call the Carolina Cup Racing Association office at 432-6513 or (800) 780-8117 or visit the Carolina Cup Website located at www.carolinacup.org.)

his is Keri Brion’s happy place. Interruptions are few and far between as she and two of her assistants along with jockey Skylar McKenna go about their business of tending to the small string of horses which they brought to the relative seclusion of the Springdale Race Course on a sunny, if not slightly chilly, mid-November morning. All but one of the horses would be shipped from Camden, two days later, to compete in the Steeplechase at Charleston, the final stop on the 2021 National Steeplechase Association (NSA) season.

Brion steps to the back of the barn to receive a phone call before rejoining the trio as they share a laugh and tell a story or two in mapping out the morning’s schedule. Temporarily zipping out of sight, Brion heads into the darkness of a woodcovered paddock before emerging with an older horse on the other end of the rope which she leads into a stall in the barn formerly occupied each winter and early spring by her retired boss and National Racing Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard.

“Who’s that?” the guest asks while nodding in the direction of the horse following in Brion’s footsteps.

“All the Way Jose,” she says with a smile before adding the 2017 finalist for Steeplechase Horse of the Year and winner of that year’s $150,000 Lonesome Glory Handicap at Belmont Park was headed to the field to be turned into a fox hunter rather than the Sheppard-bred gelding making a comeback on the race course at the age of 11.

Outfitted in a blue fleece jacket, blue jeans and riding boots, Brion is doing what she loves and does best and --- save for 2021 National Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Jack Fisher, and Leslie Young ---, did it better last year than all other trainers on the NSA circuit.

In her first full year running her own operation, Brion saddled 13 horses which made their way into the winners’ enclosure. The 30-year-old Lancaster, Pa., native led the circuit in earnings for trainers with her 79 starters having brought in $759,450 with likely 2021 Eclipse Award winner for Steeplechase Horse, The Mean Queen, accounting for more than $300,000 of that total after a season

in which she came from virtually out of nowhere to win the NSA’s Lonesome Glory Champions Award.

In the process, the 5-year-old Buttonwood Farms’ LLC mare all but helped make Brion the new face and voice of the sport along the way as the trainer appeared on post-race television interviews, radio programs and podcasts on both sides of the Atlantic. Her meteoric rise to fame came after Brion became the first American trainer to saddle a winner over hurdles in Ireland when The Mean Queen came home the six and a halflength winner of the Slaney River (Mares) Maiden Hurdle at Wexford under amateur rider John O’Neill last April. Five days earlier, Brion saddled Irv Naylor’s Scorpion’s Revenge, a 25-1 longshot, was an impressive winner of the Jim Ryan Services Irish National Hunt Flat Race at Cork Racecourse.

If she is the new poster woman for the sport in America, it is a role which Brion readily accepts, especially if it will help spread the word of jump racing in this country.

“I do and I feel a certain type of obligation and a responsibility because the luck has gone my way,” she said during a break between sets. “It’s the mare (The Mean Queen) that put me on the map.”

The Mean Queen did, indeed, put Brion on the map and would do so on two different continents.

After making two starts in Ireland during Brion’s stay in the Emerald Isle where hurdle racing is staged in the late fall through early spring, it was decided that a rest was in order once Brion and her party of six horses arrived back in America.

Given more than a month and a half ’s rest while allowing her to acclimate to the NSA’s National Fences, The Mean Queen made her U.S. debut by winning a $30,000 allowance chase at the Virginia Gold Cup by a comfortable eight lengths. Moving up in class, she scored a 3 ½-length victory in the $50,000 Margaret Currey Henley Hurdle Stakes in Nashville on May 26.

The one blip on the radar came at Saratoga when The Mean Queen took on the boys in the $75,000 Jonathan Kiser Stakes. Leading by more than six lengths at the top of the stretch, The Mean Queen ducked in as jockey Tom Garner tried to

“I do and I feel a certain type of and a responsibility because the luck has gone my way ... It’s the mare (The Mean Queen) that put me on the map.”

steer her mount from possibly going outside the beacon and thus, be disqualified for leaving the course. While doing so, Garner lost his balance and the race which the pair had in the bag.

The spill was innocent enough; neither rider nor horse suffered any injuries other than to their pride. In person and on replay, the episode in deep stretch seemed rather comical. To this day, Brion doesn’t think it is the least bit funny.

“I don’t laugh about it,” Brion said turning serious for a moment. “People say, ‘Oh, it’s funny.’ No, it’s still not funny. The trainers’ title and the jockeys’ title would be different if he didn’t fall off of her, but that got her even more of a following because she was like, ‘Don’t hit me.’”

The loss seemed to light a fire under The Mean Queen, who followed the Kiser by rolling to a 4 ¾-length victory in the $150,000 Jonathan Sheppard Stakes, formerly, the New York Turf Writers Cup, one of two Grade I features at the summer stop at the Spa. On that afternoon, The Mean Queen led a 1-2-3 Brion-trained contingent with stablemates Baltimore Bucko --- winner of the $150, OOO A.P. Smithwick Chase (GR. I) --- and French Light following her to the finish line.

Her first Grade I tucked safely away, The Mean Queen set out after Snap Decision, the 7-year-old Jack Fisher-trained gelding which brought a nine-race win streak to Belmont Park for the day’s feature, the $150,000 Lonesome Glory Handicap. It was touted as jump racing’s battle of the sexes, but it very nearly did not come off.

That fateful Sept. 16 afternoon at the Big Sandy opened with the $75,000 William Entenmann Stakes. Brion had Baltimore Bucko in the race and the 5-year-old was in the lead pack as the field approached the third fence. Baltimore Bucko “fell heavily” at the third fence with Richard Condon in the irons and collided with Perfect Tapatino when attempting to right himself, but there was nowhere to go. Baltimore Bucko was taken by van from the course and minutes later, had to be put down.

Mean Queen made The

her U.S. debut by winning a $30,000 allowance chase at the Virginia Gold Cup by a comfortable eight lengths.

Less than 45 minutes later, Brion had The Mean Queen and Galway Kid entered in the Lonesome Glory. The distraught owner had to make the call as whether to send her entry into the feature chase or, scratch them both.

Fortunately, she had the full support of both owners.

“I hope there’s never another day like that,” Brion said of that day on Long Island. “I didn’t want to run the next two (in the Lonesome Glory.) To be fair, the owners wouldn’t have, either. They were in the same boat. It was like, ‘Was it even worth it?

“I didn’t think Richie (Condon) was 100 percent (in the Lonesome Glory), but you know how jockeys are, they’re fine. He wouldn’t let me. He said, ‘Come on. We gotta do this.” It worked out, but that was a hard 45 minutes …

100 percent.”

Saying that race and the scene “still haunts me,” Brion said she oftentimes thinks of Baltimore Bucko who was much more than just a race horse to her.

“We are on a high, but losing Bucko was a very, very, very big low … that’s as low as you get, losing a Grade I winner,” Brion said of the fatal spill which came on the heels of her having sent out both winners of Saratoga’s two Grade I chases. “It’s hard. We had a novice stake

34 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2022

last weekend (at Callaway Gardens in Georgia) and you think to yourself, ‘Man, Bucko would have completely annihilated this field.’

“It’s not just about what they can do for you that way, but he was a barn favorite. He made me very proud. I picked him out on my own and he had never run a race.

I thought he would be a good horse and the owner, Mr. (Rod) Moorhead (of Buttonwood Farms LLC), trusted me in that decision. He was really special to me for that reason.”

That is a part of the sport to which most followers are not privy. It takes a special person to set their emotions aside for a half-hour to 45 minutes and lock in on the task at hand.

Her mind on Baltimore Bucko and her heart aching, Brion forged ahead and watched the feature as The Mean Queen rallied inside of Snap Decision on the final turn and would later shake free of her new rival at the sixteenth pole to win by two lengths in a stirring finish.

Just like that, a rivalry was born.

With the Eclipse Award hanging in the balance, the two heavyweights met again in the final Grade I chase of the year, the $150,000 Grand National Hurdle Stakes in Far

Hills, N.J., in a nationally televised race, on Oct. 16.

In a near carbon copy of the Belmont race, The Mean Queen and Condon took the lead at the 2 ¼-mile mark of the 2 5/8-mile journey with Snap Decision making it a two-horse race to the finish. Ultimately, The Mean Queen had too much left and out-ran Snap Decision to the wire, winning by a half-length.

With both jumpers in their prime, this rivalry could continue for some time if both stay healthy. Brion said that while Snap Decision ruled the jumping roost, so to speak, throwing The Mean Queen into the mix provided the spark which the NSA needs at the top level of the sport.

“It’s been great for the sport. I think it has brought more people into it than ever before, since I’ve been involved, really,” said the former jump jockey who, in 2019, won The Cup Runneth Over in Camden aboard Orchestra Leader before devoting herself to training under Sheppard.

“I’ve had a lot of people say to me that (Snap Decision) brought a following before (The Mean Queen) even got here. I don’t think that’s true. He’s a brilliant animal, but I think it’s been the actual rivalry between him and the mare. There were people saying, ‘Oh, he’ll come back better in the Grand National,’ and she just did the same exact thing and, I think, she’ll do it 10 more times. You don’t get past her.

“If Snap Decision wants to beat her, they’re going to have to ride him differently. They are going to have to get the jump on her and I don’t know, she might come back to him with no problem. I don’t know what she will do if she has to run at a horse. I don’t know.”

With five wins in her six U.S. starts and one lost rider on her way to victory in the other, it would take all but a few select ballots to get lost for The Mean Queen not to get the nod as the 2021 Eclipse Award winner for Steeplechase Horse. Should she get expected nod, the Mean Queen would become the second female jumper to win the highest honor in American Thoroughbred racing after Life’s Illusion in 1975.

Before Omicron, Brion planned on sending and joining The Mean Queen to race at Punchestown in Ireland in February and then taking her to the Cheltenham Festival in Great Britain after that to compete in the David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle, the 2021 campaign for her jumper was unexpected. Then, again, she always knew The Mean Queen had something special about her. It was Brion, who eyeballed the horse when she was put up for sale by Baltimore Stable in Ireland. From there, Moorhead had faith in Brion’s judgment and pulled the trigger on a sale which now looks like a bargain, if not a stroke of good luck.

“I knew she was good … I knew she was really good,” Brion said.

“In hindsight, we didn’t rush her into anything. I would have never dreamed that we would run her in a Grade I just because that’s not the usual progression. She didn’t even run in a hurdle race until April. I knew she would be really, really good, but did I think she was going to win three Grade I’s in one year? No, I didn’t.

“We knew she was special. We knew she was good, but you never know how good until they’re here. She’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Hopefully, we have a lot more fun with her.”

Although The Mean Queen was one of her first two Grade I horses which came to her in her first year as a full-time trainer, Keri Brion sometimes wonder if this could be her horse of a lifetime in the sport.

“I might never train a horse like her again. She’s really, really different. She’s special,” she said with a smile. “She’s just so gritty and on top of that you have to have a horse that wants to do it. I feel you have horses that try really hard, but might lack that ability. Then you have the horses that have all the ability in the world and just don’t

“It’s not just about what they can do for you that way, but he was a barn . He made me very proud. I picked him out on my own and he had never run a race ...

He was really special to me for that reason.”

put it out; she’s both. She wants to do it and won’t let horses get past her.”

While the Mean Queen’s ascent to the NSA throne world came seemingly out of nowhere after she arrived on American shores, the roots as to Keri Brion’s climb to the upper echelon of the sport started last winter in Ireland.

After Sheppard’s retirement, she went out on her own and had to convince the Hall of Fame member’s vast clientele to take a chance on a young, fresh-faced trainer who was trying to earn her stripes. Of course, traveling to Ireland with six jumpers with owners Buttonwood Farm, Hudson River Farms and Irv Naylor taking a chance on a conditioner ready to go out on her own was the way to go.

During the course of her four-month stay on the Emerald Isle, where she was based out of Baltymore Stables in Enniscorthy, Brion went head-to-head with Irish training stalwarts such as Gordon Elliott and Joseph O’Brien, among others. It was an invaluable experience for all parties involved, but particularly for Brion who raised eyebrows in the racing-made country with The Mean Queen’s win at Wexford.

By the time she left Ireland, Brion was a bigger name there than she was at home. “(It meant) everything. The publicity … I’m even more respected in Ireland than I am here,” Brion said when asked of her stay in Ireland and what it did for her and her business. “I don’t think people here realize how hard it is to train a winner in Ireland. To people here, it’s just that we had two winners in Ireland. I said, ‘No. That’s unbelievable.’ Even the trainers over there like Henry de Bromhead and Gordon Elliott respected that I was able to do that.

“It got me new owners from abroad that have joined my team and bought horses. It was everything.

Having that and what I learned when I was over there helped because it’s been a great year with the horses, for sure.”

Thanks to the onset of the Omicron variant in late fall, Brion was forced to scrap the plans of taking The Mean Queen to run in Ireland and England. Instead, the mare will stay stateside with an eye cast on the $150,000 Calvin Houghland Iroquois feature in May; the NSA’s lone Grade I chase of the spring.

Her first trip to Ireland as a trainer came out of necessity in trying to give jumpers, including 2019 Eclipse Award winner for Steeplechase Horse, Winston C, an opportunity to race given the uncertainty of the 2021 NSA schedule.

“Look,” she said with a smile when asked of a second trip abroad with a small string of horses, “we did it once because we didn’t know if we were even going to have a season here because of COVID. We did it once and proved that we could do it. It’s not cheap to do it.

It doesn’t make any sense, to be honest.”

With the good came the bad, as well. She said that she knows other trainers were calling owners of the horses which she had on the farm seeking to convince owners to shift their allegiance while she was out of

36 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2022

the country. “I had other trainers fighting over to try and steal my horses when I was in Ireland,” she said matter-of-factly.

With The Mean Queen having won on both sides of the Atlantic, Brion said it only makes sense to let her try and prove her mettle against the world’s best jumping mares. “Obviously, with a mare like her it does because there she’s done everything there is to do in America in one year of racing, basically. There is one Grade I, the Iroquois, that I’d love to win with her, but basically, she’s done it all,” she said.

With the notoriety of being a ground-breaking trainer with her wins in Ireland, Keri Brion’s phone started buzzing. Her dominating stay in Saratoga last summer did nothing to slow down the list of callers seeking more information about her program or, joining it from the get-go.

“I have some new owners who are big flat owners and they got in touch with me and said, ‘We saw you talk at Saratoga and you’re who we want to have horses with.’ I’m younger and kind of newer to the sport,” Brion said of her growing business.

Being part of a new generation of trainers, Brion has embraced social media probably more than any person in the NSA. She was quick to point out, however, she not only trains jumpers, but flat track horses as well and has had success with those Thoroughbreds whose hooves stay on the ground.

Brion has attracted, at least, two sets of owners from abroad who learned of her and her training operation after having followed her on Twitter. The ownership groups had never met Brion in person until flying to the Far Hills race meeting in October with horses for her to train.

“I’m very transparent on social media and I’m very happy to tell anyone who wants to know what’s going on with the horses. I think it’s great,” she said. “We don’t do a very good job of marketing steeplechase racing so I think it’s good for everyone to see how well-cared for these horses are and how much we love them. It shows on social media. I have a huge presence and I’ll continue to do so.

“I think that’s part of the problem with our sport.

We need to evolve with the times. I have a massive social media presence and some people would say, ‘She’s annoying,’ which is fine because I’ve gained new owners off that.”

These days, Keri Brion oversees a stable of some 35 horses, both flat and jumpers. She said she has a good team of assistants, riders and grooms and said she would be comfortable adding 15 to 25 more horses to the enterprise over the next year or two.

While under Sheppard’s tutelage, Brion helped drive a barn which, at times, enlisted more than 100 horses. She said that, if given the right circumstances, she would feel comfortable with that many horses under her care.

“As long as I have the staff to help me do it, there is no number too big. The number is too big is when I feel that I can’t give every horse the individual attention

it deserves,” she said. “I’m lucky. I have a really good team behind me and without a good team, you have nothing.”

From the outset as being tabbed Sheppard’s successor, Brion has had to age an uphill battle which continues to this day with rumors being spread about her and her business. She was not shy in saying some people questioned --- both online and in person --- her handling of horses after two of them sustained injuries last summer while racing at Colonial Downs in New Kent, Va. Both horses, she said, are expected to be back racing in 2022.

Brion said with winning comes scrutiny and, sometimes, sordid tales and outright lies. She brushes aside such idle chatter as she can only control what she has in front of her.

“Like with anything, there are rumors that fly about you,” she said. “I had a few get injured at Colonial Downs which is unfortunate, but that’s part of this sport. They’ll all be fine and be back (this) year. When you’re doing well, people are quick to shoot you down.”

Since taking over for Sheppard, Keri Brion has had to overcome the perception that she was simply handed the keys to a dynasty from a legend who won a record 26 NSA leading trainer titles with the most recent of those coming in 2020.

“I have to say that he didn’t hand it over to me. I had to go out on my own and keep my own owners.

I wasn’t handed anything. No one knows the whole story and I’m not going to go vocal with it,” she said of going out on her own.

“I had to fight for everything I have and these horses that I’ve kept, I picked them out. They were, essentially, my horses. Jonathan had been training them, but the owners knew I was the one who found them. Luckily, the owners stayed with me.”

Many of those owners are glad they stuck it out with Brion.

Arriving back home after her elongated stay in Ireland, Brion’s barn got off to a rather slow start to the 2021 NSA campaign. She did not send out a starter until the Queen’s Cup in suburban Charlotte, which served as the first true stop in which jumpers went over anything other than timber fences. It was not until five stops later, on May 29, in which one of her jumpers made a trip to the winners’ enclosure when The Mean Queen scored a win in a $30,000 allowance hurdle and Galway Kid raced to victory in the $50,000 David Semmes Memorial at the Virginia Gold Cup. Those two victories lit the fuse as Brion saddled a pair of winners at the Iroquois meet in Nashville, on Junes 26, with The Mean Queen taking the $25,000 Margaret Currey Henley Sport of Kings Filly and Mare Hurdle Stakes in what would be the prelude to the stop at Saratoga.

Once the ball started rolling, things never seemed

to slow down for Brion. For those who say it was a dream campaign of achieving nothing but highs, Brion was quick to point out her stable suffered the lowest of lows, as well, in 2021.

“Although you see all the highs and you think, ‘She’s on top of the world,’ which I am to some extent, we’ve had our lows, too,” Brion said alluding to the loss of horses such as Divine Fortune and Arcadius, which both sustained fatal ailments at the race course. “ I worked for Jonathan for 10 years and I saw some of the lowest of lows that you would ever see.

“It’s been a crazy year. There’s no really words … It’s been really good,” she admitted. “Obviously, losing Bucko was hard, but coming with the lows came some massive highs and we’re still on it.

“I never had a trainers’ title in my thoughts and it still isn’t. I’ve always said that I was going to run my horses where they need to run and not push anybody.

You see a lot of horses that have run the last two weeks just trying to win a race. One of mine ran last week, but we were easy on him knowing that we were going to run him again this week in Charleston.

We were easy on him in that race knowing that we wanted to run him back a week later. He had an easy campaign all year and we thought we would use last week as an experience for him.”

While she knew she had a good stock of horses in her barn, Keri Brion said that only in her wildest dreams could she have imagined second out four Grade I winners in her first year on the job as her own boss. And, the probable Eclipse Award will serve as the clincher to announce her arrival on the scene.

Her wins and the way she handled interviews during her stay in Ireland along with her wins and the loss of Baltimore Bucko in New York have attracted the attention of owners who like her style and the way she handles herself and her business.

As a new kid on the block, she did not bide her time and pay her dues, instead, she had her horses on the attack which has brought newfound notoriety her way … which she readily accepts.

While owners and others have come her way, Keri Brion is fully cognizant that a large reason for her being on the sport’s grandest stage is due to one horse that nobody --- Ireland included --- could have predicted how she would dominate American jump racing in 2021. How she is marketed and how well The Mean Queen holds up and keeps going is something for which Brion and many others are keeping their fingers crossed.

“I have to think about the fact that kind of everyone is looking at me, which I think is a good thing and a bad thing,” Brion said. “The NSA has to look at it as an opportunity with this mare to really help and build the sport if they want to. We’re in a position where all eyes are on us. It just depends on how we handle it.”

By TOM DIDATO

COVID-19 forced delayed start to the season did not dampen the spirits nor did it create any less excitement for a 2021 National Steeplechase Association campaign which saw a mare who was not even in this country when the season began set the sport on its ear and produce down to the wire races for the sport’s training and riding crowns.

Due to the pandemic, the usual first meet of the season was moved from late March in Aiken to the My Lady’s Manor Races in Monkton, Md., two weeks later. In fact, the first racing contested over brush fences was not staged until April 24, when the Queens Cup in suburban Charlotte was run minus spectators on a wet and rainy afternoon.

Fans were allowed to attend the 86th running of the Carolina Cup presented by Mullikin Law, a race meet which bowed to the oncoming pandemic a year earlier.

A late May date made it a bit warmer for patrons attending the Camden spring classic, but the large gathering showed that people missed the social event of the spring in the Carolinas.

A few short weeks later, The Mean Queen launched her Eclipse Award run in Saratoga while boosting rookie trainer Keri Brion to the pinnacle of the sport in this country after having broken barriers in Ireland earlier in the year. Brion was in the battle for the year’s top trainer only to be overtaken by the deep roster of jumpers fielded by Jack Fisher.

While Brion and Fisher were engaged in a spirited battle, so too were jockeys Graham Watters and Tom Garner who went head-to-head into the season’s final stop, the Steeplechase of Charleston in which Watters broke a 19-all deadlock with Garner to collect his first riding title with 21 victories.

Without further adieu, here are the 2021 National Steeplechase Association champions: Lonesome Glory leading money winner The Mean Queen Owner: Buttonwood Farms LLC Trainer: Keri Brion Jockeys: Richard Condon/Tom Garner Hardly a blip on the radar when rookie trainer Keri

Brion brought the 5-year-old mare home to America with her along with the six other jumpers which she brought with her on an historic trip to race in Ireland, The Mean Queen soon became the belle of American jump racing by winning five of her six starts on this side of the Atlantic. It would have been a perfect six-for-six had it not been for unseating jockey Tom Garner --- in deep stretch --- while leading the $75,000 Jonathan Kiser Stakes at Saratoga.

Winner of two of her three starts over fences in her native Ireland, the daughter of Doyen (Ire)-Gail Borden (Ire) was purchased by Buttonwood Farms LLC owner Rod Moorhead who sent The Mean Queen to Brion, who was taking over the barn formerly occupied by retired Hall of Fame conditioner Jonathan Sheppard.

After having made Brion the first U.S.-based trainer to send out a winner over fences in Ireland with a victory at Wexford on April 9, The Mean Queen was allowed time to adjust to her new home in Pennsylvania and get her bearings. When it came time for her to perform, she answered the call with an eight-length win in an allowance chase at the Virginia Gold Cup on May 29. Four weeks later came a win in the Margaret Currey Henley Stakes in Nashville.

It was an inauspicious start for The Mean Queen as she dropped Garner from the saddle while he was trying to keep his mount on the track. That served as a temporary setback as on Aug. 18, Brion sent her rising star into her first Grade I chase and The Mean Queen passed her first test with flying colors, carrying Garner to a 4 3/4-length victory in the $150,000 Jonathan Sheppard Stakes.

In the fall, The Mean Queen won a pair of highly anticipated races against Snap Decision; snapping the 7-year-old gelding’s nine-race win streak with a win in the $150,000 Lonesome Glory Stakes at Belmont Park in September before repeating the feat a month later in a stirring finish with Snap Decision to take the $150,000 Grand National Hurdle in Far Hills, N.J. The Mean Queen who, if the Omicrom variant cooperates, will run at Leopardstown in Ireland in February as a prep for a run in the Mare’s Novice Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March. She finished her first year in America with five wins from six starts while earning a NSAbest $303,000 to secure the Lonesome Glory Champion Award as well as being a virtually shoo-in to win the 2021 Eclipse Award for Steeplechase Horse.

Winter 2022 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- 43

Leading jockey Graham Watters There are not many better seats in the world of American jump racing than to be rider of first call for Hall of Fame conditioner Jack Fisher.

This past year, Graham Watters cashed in on his rides as he piloted 17 horses to victory, including two at the NSA season finale at the Steeplechase of Charleston. Heading to the Holy City tied with Tom Garner at 15 wins, Watters steered Gostisbehere and Ghostlighter to victory in the third and fourth races, respectively, for wins 20 and 21.

The 2021 campaign was the fifth in America for the Ireland native who won his first riding crown. To secure it on the same day as Fisher took the training title made Watters’ day even sweeter.

“Jack and I both needed the same winners to take our individual championships, which was strange but nice,” said Watters. “We were both celebrating each other’s success.”

As the regular rider about Snap Decision, Watters was in the irons for two wins aboard the Eclipse Award finalist in 2021. Watters’ dream season also included his getting rides and victories aboard jumpers trained by Mark Beecher and Neil Morris.

“It’s great to have something to put on my career like champion jockey. I really couldn't have done it without the support of Mark Beecher, Neil Morris and, of course, Jack Fisher, and all of their very supporting owners and staff,” Watters said after clinching the crown in Charleston.

“I wasn’t too pushed on whether or not I won the championship as I had a fantastic season in winning my first Grade 1 on Snap Decision and a number of stakes races, and creating a strong partnership with Jack Fisher and his owners. The championship had been pretty exciting all year with not many wins separating close friend Tom Garner and I, giving each other some stick along the way.”

Leading trainer Jack Fisher It took Hall of Famer Jonathan Sheppard to snap Jack Fisher’s run of nine consecutive leading trainer crowns when the now-retired legend scored 19 wins to top the circuit standings in 2020.

Life could not be any sweeter for Fisher who, last summer, joined Sheppard in the National Racing Hall of Fame with his induction at the Saratoga shrine last August. Things would get better for Fisher from there, however.

Thanks to a red-hot summer run from Keri Brion,

which extended into the fall, Fisher found himself in a three-way battle for his 15th leading training title along with Leslie Young, who ended up overtaking Brion for second late in the season.

Fisher headed to the season-ending Steeplechase of Charleston deadlocked with Young atop the leaderboard with each trainer having sent out 15 winners. Fisher had the better of things in the Lowcountry, saddling Gostisbehere and Ghostlighter for winning runs in the third and fourth races, respectively, for wins 16 and 17.

Meanwhile, Young had a pair of seconds to come up just short in her quest to break the male stranglehold on the award which has not been won by a female since Sanna Neilson turned the trick with 32 wins in 2005.

Fisher sent 101 jumpers to the post in 2021 with nearly half of those --- 50 --- finishing in the money.

Fisher’s jumpers brought home $629,650 which was good for second in earnings behind Brion whose charges cashed $763,450 in checks.

As he approaches the $20,000 mark for earnings over fences, Fisher ranks second all-time in that category behind --- who else? --- Sheppard, whose horses accrued more than $25,000 jumping over fences.

Leading owner Buttonwood Farm LLC Quality over quantity.

That could be the catch phrase for Buttonwood Farms LLC owners Rod and Alice Moorhead. Based out of Unionville, Pa., Buttonwood sent just 21 starters to meet the flag in 2021, but six of those resulted in wins along with four seconds and a third for $456,350 in earnings. The total bested runner-up Irv Naylor’s barn by more than $60,000.

The bulk of Buttonwood’s cash flow came courtesy of The Mean Queen, who collected $303,000 in purse money to qualify the Moorhead’s faith in her after they purchased the likely 2021 Eclipse Award winner for Steeplechase Horse and sent her to the barn of Keri Brion, who was training a string of six jumpers in Ireland at the time last winter.

As impressive as the list of wins and purse money were for Buttonwood, it could have easily been larger had it not been for the unfortunate fatal spill suffered by the Buttonwood-owned Baltimore Bucko in the $75,000 William Entenmann Stakes at Belmont Park on Sept. 16. At the time of his demise, Baltimore Bucko had a win and two seconds in three American starts including a victory in the $150,000 A.P. Smithwick Memorial Steeplechase Stakes at Saratoga in July.
