then, a total of 10 winners of the
Blue Grass have won the Kentucky
Derby and another nine horses

n 1957, the year Round Table
won the Blue Grass Stakes at
Keeneland, Toyota established a
presence in the U.S. by setting up
shop in a former Rambler dealership
in Hollywood, Calif. Sales began in
1958 and totaled 288 vehicles: 287
Toyopet Crown sedans and one Land
Cruiser.
Over the next several years,
Toyota vehicles became so popular
in this country that the Japanese
automaker began to build manufacturing plants across the U.S. In the
1980s, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) built a plant
in nearby Georgetown and in 1988
began producing the popular Camry.
In 1996, Toyota Motor Manufacturing
Kentucky, five area Toyota dealerships and Toyota Motor Sales in
Cincinnati teamed up to sponsor the

2014 TOYOTA BLUE GRASS STAKES
Blue Grass Stakes, marking Toyota’s
first sponsorship of a horse race. As
part of the sponsorship agreement,
Keeneland replaces vehicles in its
fleet with Toyotas.
Toyota’s $5.94 billion, stateof-the-art automotive complex in
Georgetown is the company’s largest
vehicle manufacturing facility in
North America. The Georgetown
facility has the capacity to produce
500,000 vehicles and 600,000 engines
annually with nearly 7,000 full-time
employees. Toyota’s Kentuckymade products include the Camry,
America’s No. 1 selling car for more
than a decade, as well as the Camry
Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and
Venza. Additionally, over 100 suppliers located in Kentucky support
Toyota’s manufacturing operation in
the Bluegrass.
In 2015, Toyota Kentucky will
produce its first U.S.-made Lexus,
generating 750 new jobs and adding 50,000 units to the plant’s robust
manufacturing output. To support
the new dedicated assembly line,
Toyota is investing $360 million in
the Georgetown plant.
Initially, Toyota hired team members from nearly every one of Kentucky’s 120 counties and continues
its philosophy of giving back to the
communities where team members
live. More than $45 million has been
donated by Toyota’s Kentucky plant
to nonprofit organizations throughout the state.

Owner: Bear Stables
Danny Dion earned the nickname “Bear” long ago
for what he said was his propensity to “growl like a
bear” when he was lifting large logs back in his native
Quebec. The name stuck and became the inspiration for
Bear Stables, Dion’s Thoroughbred operation he started
in 2002.
Bear Stables began in a bar when Dion bought a
horse from a friend for $7,000. Six years later, in 2008,
Bear Stables won Canada’s Sovereign Award as outstanding owner. That same year, Bear Stables’ Fatal
Bullet won the Sovereign Award as top sprinter and
Horse of the Year following a second-place finish in the
Sentient Flight Group Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1), and
millionaire Bear Now was named champion older mare.
Dion incorporates “Bear” into the names of many of
his horses. In addition to the aforementioned champions
Fatal Bullet and Bear Now, he has campaigned graded
stakes winners Bear Tough Guy, Bear Tough Tiger, Bear
No Joke and Part the Seas.
Born in 1960 in Chidougamau, Quebec, Dion lives
in Alberta. In 1988, he founded Bear Slashing, Ltd.,
Canada’s largest land-clearing and site preparation
company. Bear Slashing pioneered the use of mulching
equipment in the oil and gas industry as an efficient, effective, environmentally friendly land-clearing process.
Dion’s stable is based at Woodbine in Toronto. His
principal trainer is Reade Baker.

2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES
Trainer: Reade Baker
Canadian Reade Baker long has been a fixture at
Woodbine, where he annually has been among the
track’s leading trainers by wins in each of the past 12
years. Baker received the 2005 Sovereign Award as
Canada’s outstanding trainer.
Baker began training horses in 1989. His most successful year came in 2006 when he won 77 races and
trained the earners of more than $3.9 million. As of
April 6, he was approaching 1,000 career wins and $48
million in earnings.
Baker’s love of the Thoroughbred industry took off
when his uncle took him to the track for the first time at
14 years old. A schoolmate, John Chris, was the son of
a trainer and the two became fast friends, a relationship
that continues today with Chris as the Baker stable’s
veterinarian. In 1985, Baker went to work as racing
manager for Rick Kennedy and was responsible for the
racing careers of Afleet, One From Heaven and Storm
On the Loose before taking over the string.
Baker has won three races at Keeneland, including
the 2009 Phoenix (G3) with reigning Canadian Horse of
the Year Fatal Bullet.

Emma-Jayne Wilson won the 2005 Eclipse Award
as outstanding apprentice, and she is a two-time winner
of the Sovereign Award as outstanding apprentice (2005
and 2006).
Wilson was raised in Ontario and began riding
horses at age 9. She began her riding career in August
2004 at Woodbine and won her first race on her second career mount. In 2005, Wilson won the riding title
at Woodbine, joining Sandy Hawley and Mickey Walls
as apprentice jockeys to lead the standings. In 2007,
Wilson became the first female jockey to win Canada’s
most famous race, the Queen’s Plate, when she rode
Mike Fox to victory.
Wilson finished second in the 2011 Breeders’ Cup
Juvenile Turf (G1) with Excaper. As of April 6, she has
more than 1,100 races and ridden the earners of more
than $55.5 million.

The lure of Thoroughbred racing is evident in the
unorthodox paths some people take to be involved in
the sport. One of those people is Katerina Vassilieva, a
native of Russia whose family moved to Toronto when
she was a child.
While she underwent formal figure skating training,
Vassilieva was drawn to horses. She took riding lessons
as a girl and later was a hot walker and groom while in
college. She worked her way up the ladder as an exercise rider for Canadian trainer Reade Baker, who later
hired her as an assistant trainer.
Vassilieva went out on her own as a trainer in 2011
and currently oversees a 16-horse stable. Her Toyota Blue
Grass (G1) hopeful, Big Bazinga, was named for the character Sheldon on the TV sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”
As of April 6, Vassilieva has saddled 20 winners and
earners of more than $900,000 in her career.
Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr.
Brian “B.J.” Hernandez Jr. had a 27th birthday he’ll
never forget, winning the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Classic
(G1) aboard Fort Larned as part of a year in which he
recorded a career-best $8,034,048 in earning.
Hernandez, born in Lafayette, La., notched his first
career victory on Nov. 29, 2003, at Delta Downs on
Hughes and his first graded stakes victory in the 2006
Indiana Derby (G2) at Hoosier Park on Cielo Gold. He
won the 2004 Eclipse Award as outstanding apprentice jockey after winning 243 races that year, including
stakes at Fair Grounds, Churchill Downs, Remington
Park and Delta Downs.
Hernandez’s first Keeneland win came during the
2004 Fall Meet when he won 20 races and was the
season’s second-leading rider. His first Keeneland stakes
win was the 2006 JPMorgan Chase Jessamine (G3) on
Swingit, and he also won the 2012 Giant’s Causeway on
Flash Mash. Hernandez has 65 victories at Keeneland.
As of April 5, Hernandez has won 1,215 career
races and ridden the earners of more than $39 million.

Very Irish. Female family also includes Grade 1 winner
Eden’s Moon and David Junior, a highweight in England
and the United Arab Emirates.
Owners: Kenneth L. and Sarah K. Ramsey (KY)
Few horsemen are as involved in as many aspects
of Thoroughbred racing – from breeding to racing to
handicapping – as Ken Ramsey and his wife, Sarah.
The Ramseys earned Eclipse Awards as outstanding owner in 2004, 2011 and 2013, amassing more than
$12 million in earnings last year, $5 million more than
second-place Midwest Thoroughbreds. They also won
their first Eclipse Award as outstanding breeder in 2013,
with more than $12.1 million in earnings, owing chiefly
to the progeny of their homebred champion and leading
North American sire, Kitten’s Joy.
Dominant owners on the Kentucky racing circuit,
the Ramseys have been leading owner at Keeneland
13 times, just one shy of T.A. Grissom’s record 14 meet
titles. They have won or shared six spring meet owner
titles (2004, 2006, 2010-13) and seven fall meet titles
(2000, 2002, 2007-09, 2012-13). Through April 5, their
horses had won 165 races at Keeneland, ranking them
third on the list of the track’s all-time owners by number
of wins.
The Ramseys’ excellence at Keeneland has been
impressive. Their 25 wins during the 2013 Spring Meet
shattered the previous record of 12 wins by an owner
during a single race meeting. The record-breaking pace
continued when they won 17 races to establish a Keeneland Fall Meet record for most victories by an owner.
In addition to their Keeneland titles, the Ramseys
swept the 2013 summer, early fall and late fall meet
12
2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES
titles at Churchill Downs; topped the owner standings
at Gulfstream during the 2012-2013 winter meet; and
captured their third Saratoga title in 2013 with a record
22 wins.
Through April 6, 2014, the Ramseys have won 13
Keeneland stakes, including 11 graded stakes. Dark
Cove’s victory in the 2013 Elkhorn Stakes (G2) marked
their eighth graded stakes victory, for which they earned
a gold tray as part of Keeneland’s signature graded
stakes trophy program. Only 17 other owners in Keeneland history have such an accomplishment.
The Ramseys have won five Grade 1 stakes at
Keeneland – Nothing to Lose (2004 Shadwell Turf Mile);
Dawn of War (2005 Lane’s End Breeders’ Futurity);
Stephanie’s Kitten (2011 Darley Alcibiades); We Miss
Artie (2014 Dixiana Breeders’ Futurity); and Kitten’s
Dumplings (2013 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup).
Among their other notable horses are 2004 champion turf male Kitten’s Joy (2004 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic
Invitational-G1 and Secretariat-G1); Roses in May (2005
Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup-G1); Furthest Land
(2009 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile-G1); and Stephanie’s Kitten (2011 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf-G2).
On Aug. 17, 2013, the Ramseys’ Admiral’s Kitten won the Secretariat (G1), Big Blue Kitten took the
Sword Dancer Invitational (G1) and Real Solution captured the Arlington Million (G1). All three were homebred sons of Kitten’s Joy.
The Ramseys are from Artemus, Ky. Ken was 6
when he accompanied his aunt Ruby on a Christmas
shopping trip to Louisville and saw Churchill Downs
for the first time. He saw his first Thoroughbred race
at Golden Gate Fields when he was in the Navy and
saw his second race at Keeneland after his Navy service when he was a student at the University of Kentucky. He claimed his first racehorse, Red Redeemer, for
$1,500, in 1969 at old Miles Park in Louisville.
Ken Ramsey became a trucking industry executive
before turning to real estate in the 1970s and then to
cellular telephone network franchising in the 1980s, primarily along Interstate 75 in northeastern Georgia and
southeastern Kentucky. He sold the cellular business in
1994 for an estimated $39 million.
The Ramseys bought historic Almahurst Farm,
outside of Nicholasville, Ky., in 1994 and renamed it
Ramsey Farm. Today the farm, which is home to Kitten’s
Joy, covers more than 1,200 acres.

Trainer: Chad Brown
Chad Brown has made Keeneland a regular stop
since he was an assistant to the late Racing Hall of Fame
trainer Bobby Frankel. Last year, he won the JPMorgan
Chase Jessamine (G3) with Kitten Kaboodle for his
seventh stakes victory at Keeneland. In 2012, he sent
out Dayatthespa to win the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) and the Appalachian (G3) and saddled
Balance the Books to win the Bourbon (G3). His first
stakes winner at the track was the popular gray Silver
Timber, who won the Woodford (G3) in 2009 and 2010
and the Shakertown (G3) in 2010.
From Saratoga, N.Y., Brown was involved in Standardbred racing while growing up. While he attended
Cornell University, where he majored in animal science,
he spent summers and the year following graduation
working for Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey.
Brown next spent five years working for Frankel, splitting his time between Southern California and Saratoga.
He went on to oversee Frankel’s divisions in Kentucky,
Monmouth Park and Gulfstream Park and worked
with such standouts as Horse of the Year Ghostzapper,
champion Intercontinental (GB), Belmont (G1) winner
Empire Maker and Grade 1 winner Medaglia d’Oro. In
2007, Brown saddled Ginger Punch to win the Breeders’
Cup Distaff (G1) while Frankel remained in California.
He soon went out on his own.
Since 2007, Brown has sent out more than 500 winners and the earners of more than $26 million. They include 2012 champion turf female Zagora (FR), winner of
the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1), and Maram,
winner of the 2008 Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile
Fillies Turf. He ranked third among North American
trainers by earnings in 2013 with $13,395,419.

Jockey: Javier Castellano
Javier Castellano received the 2013 Eclipse Award
as outstanding jockey, capping a season during which
he rode the earners of a record $26,213,507. Castellano
won 362 races.
The season was the third consecutive in which
Castellano ranked in the top three for earnings among
North American riders. Through April 5, he also led the
2014 rankings in both of those categories.
Born in Venezuela, where his father and uncle were
jockeys, Castellano started riding in his native country
in 1996 and moved to the U.S. a year later. He first rode
in South Florida and scored his first victory in July 1997
at Calder. He received his first big break when he rode
Horse of the Year Ghostzapper to win the 2004 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).
At Keeneland, Castellano has 19 stakes victories. In
2012 he won four stakes, including the Queen Elizabeth
II Challenge Cup (G1) on Dayatthespa. He has other
Grade 1 wins on Bit of Whimsy in the 2007 QEII, Lilacs
and Lace in the 2011 Central Bank Ashland and Get
Stormy in the 2011 Maker’s Mark Mile.
In his career, Castellano has won more than 3,700
races and ridden the earners of more than $195.1 million. Other major wins include the 2013 Breeders’ Cup
Juvenile Fillies (G1) on Ria Antonia, 2012 Breeders’ Cup
Filly and Mare Turf (G1) on Zagora (FR) and the 2006
Preakness (G1) on Bernardini.

Pedigree note: Second dam Sweet Betsy, by Alysheba,
is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Relaxing Rhythm and
Grade 3 winners Holy Mountain and Malagra.
Owner: All American Horses
Casiguapo was bred by the University of Kentucky,
which operates a 100-acre horse unit for teaching and
research at its Maine Chance Farm. UK has a small
broodmare band at the farm, relying on donated mares
and donated stallion seasons. Students work at the farm
and learn all aspects of the horse industry. They sell the
foals they breed as yearlings.
By Sightseeing, Casiguapo was sold to Jorge Wagner’s All American Horses. Wagner said he likes to buy
offspring of young sires.
“I always try to study a little on pedigree,” Wagner
14
2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES
said in an interview with Horse Racing Radio Network
before Casiguapo finished second in the Delta Downs
Jackpot (G3). “He’s a good-looking horse. Since he was
a baby, he was a really nice colt. When he started training, he did everything easy. His morning works were
excellent.”
Casiguapo is Spanish for “almost handsome.” The
story is that the groom who cared for him as a youngster called him Casiguapo, which led to everyone else
in the barn to use the moniker. The name stuck when
Wagner heard it.
Trainer: Mario Morales
A veteran of more than 35 years as a Thoroughbred
trainer, Mario Morales is a familiar face at Calder Race
Course in South Florida. The native of Colombia trained
horses in South America, including Colombia, Peru,
Ecuador, Chile and Argentina before moving to the U.S.
a decade ago. In North America, he has trained 83 winners and the earners of nearly $1.8 million. Among them
is Caballero Negro, winner of Calder’s Silver Season
Stakes in 2004.
Morales, who trains Casiguapo, trained horses for
owner Jorge Wagner’s father three decades ago.
“(Morales) knows a lot about the game,” Wagner
said in an interview with Horse Racing Radio Network.

confident in him. He’s given me great results.”

John C. Oxley of Tulsa, Okla., became interested
in Thoroughbred racing as a youngster and said he was
captivated listening to Assault’s victory in the 1946 Kentucky Derby on the family radio.
He was 10 when he began caring for the Thoroughbred polo ponies owned by his father, John T. Oxley,
a Hall of Fame polo player and former chairman of the
U.S. Polo Association. While he played polo in his 20s,
the younger Oxley attended the races at Hialeah and
Gulfstream and decided he wanted to own Thoroughbred racehorses. When he was 35, he purchased his first
horse at a 2-year-old sale at Hialeah.
Oxley has found success as an owner at the highest level, winning the 2001 Kentucky Derby (G1) with
Monarchos and the 1995 Kentucky Oaks (G1) with
Gal in a Ruckus. He campaigned champion Beautiful Pleasure, a six-time Grade 1 winner who earned
more than $2.7 million during her career. Other notable
horses who’ve carried his silks include Grade 1 winners
Sky Mesa and Booklet and multiple graded stakes winners Dancinginherdreams, Strong Contender, Yes Dear
Maggy, Stalwart, Pyramid Peak and Jambalaya Jazz.
At Keeneland, Oxley has won two graded stakes
through April 6, 2014: the 2002 Lane’s End Breeders’
Futurity (G2) with Sky Mesa and the 2012 Darley Alcibiades (G1) with Spring in the Air.
In 2012, Oxley received four of Canada’s Sovereign
Awards. He was named outstanding owner while his
stable was represented by Spring in the Air, voted cham-
Mark Casse was 18 in 1979 when he became a
trainer, and he won his first race, which happened to
be at Keeneland. As of April 5, he had won more than
1,600 races and sent out the earners of more than $81
million in his career.
Casse has had a number of strong years. In 2012 his
horses won 129 races (exceeded only by 140 wins in
2011) and earned more than $10.2 million, ranking him
seventh among North America’s leading trainer by earnings. He trained Spring in the Air, winner of Keeneland’s
Darley Alcibiades (G1), and multiple graded stakes winner Prospective, who was sixth in the Toyota Blue Grass
(G1). In 2013, Casse again won the Darley Alcibiades
with My Conquestadory.
For 2012, Casse received his fifth Sovereign Awards
as the leading trainer in Canada. In his career, he trained
Canadian Horse of the Year Sealy Hill and additional Canadian champions Delightful Mary, Marchfield, Kimchi,
Added Edge and Exciting Story. He also has one title
as leading trainer at Churchill Downs and four titles as
leading trainer at Turfway Park.
Casse’s father, Norman, retired as chairman of the
board of Ocala Breeders’ Sales in 2006 and has spent
more than 40 years in the industry. Racing remains a
family affair as Mark’s wife, Tina, is director of operations for Casse Racing. Since 2006, Mark Casse’s son

Certainly Special has produced a trio of runners, all

Horner’s three children, Crysta, Courtney and
Colton, Coltimus Prime’s namesake, are the impetus behind the social media campaign for Coltimus Prime. The
colt has a Facebook page and a Twitter account.
“We need to see the next generation coming to the
track with us and putting together a social media platform came naturally to them. I think it’s a great idea,”
Horner said.
Website: cabernetracingstable.com
Owner: Cabernet Racing Stables
Trainer: Justin Nixon
Cabernet Racing Stables represents the partnership
of Jayson Horner, breeder of Coltimus Prime, and his
friend Mike Weingarten.
Horner, a 55-year-old businessman from Toronto,
often attended the races as a child with his late father,
Russell.
“My dad used to own horses and I tagged along to
the track with him back in the ‘60s and ‘70s,” Horner
recounted in a recent Woodbine press release. “His
claim to fame, and we’re going back to the late 1940s, is
a horse called Wool Chopper, who was a Queen’s Plate
favorite but took a bad step during training and didn’t
make it to the Plate.”
After the death of his father, Horner lost touch
with racing until a chance encounter at his son Colton’s
hockey game rekindled the flame.
“My son plays hockey in Aurora and the mother
of one of the kids on his team is John Sikura’s sister,”
said Horner, referring to the president of Hill ‘n’ Dale
Farms. “I was standing in the rink one day and Caroline
showed up wearing a Hill ‘n’ Dale jacket with a patch
on the sleeve that said ‘Theatrical.’ We started talking
and that’s what got me intrigued about racing again.”
A partnership with his friend Weingarten, creating the Cabernet Racing moniker, has proven to be a
successful venture tracing back to the seemingly nondescript $16,000 claim of a Distorted Humor mare named
Certainly Special on Feb. 8, 2008.
“We spotted a mare that had been racing at Gulfstream and it was a time in the economy when trainers
were dropping horses in for a tag not thinking anyone
was going to claim them,” recalled Horner. “Bill Mott

Nixon began his racing career by training Standardbreds in Ontario for his father. He has trained
Thoroughbred stakes winners at Colonial Downs, Lone
Star, Monmouth, Mountaineer, Pimlico and Woodbine.
The trainer, who winters at Palm Beach Downs, entered
April with 343 career victories and has trained the earners of more than $6.9 million. In 2004, his horses scored
43 victories and earned more than $1.2 million.
Jockey: Alan Garcia
Alan Garcia made his mark at Keeneland in 2010
when he scored two longshot victories in Grade 1 races.
In April, he rode Stately Victor to a 40-1 upset in the
Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1). In October, he rode
Acoma to win the Juddmonte Spinster (G1) at odds
of 23-1. Garcia had 58 career victories at Keeneland
through 2013 with three stakes victories.
From Lima, Peru, Garcia represents the third generation of his family to ride racehorses. He graduated
from the nation’s jockey school, and he was Peru’s
leading apprentice in 2003. At the suggestion of friend
and fellow rider Alfredo Clemente, Garcia came to the
United States that same year and was the leading apprentice at The Meadowlands after a brief tenure as an
exercise rider in Kentucky. He has been based in New
York since 2007.
In 2007, Garcia joined a select group of riders to
win a race during the Breeders’ Cup World Championships with his first mount in the event. That horse

Divine Oath
Jockey: Julien Leparoux
Julien Leparoux, who began riding at Keeneland
in 2006, is already one of the track’s most successful
jockeys. Prior to the 2014 Spring Meet, he is Keeneland’s fifth-leading rider by wins (326) and is fifth on the
list of leading riders by stakes wins (39). He has won
eight Grade 1 races at the track, including four in 2013:
the Toyota Blue Grass on Java’s War, the Jenny Wiley
on Centre Court, the First Lady on Better Lucky and the
Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on Kitten’s Dumplings.
In the 2012 Fall Meet, Leparoux captured his fifth
consecutive, and ninth overall, leading rider title at
Keeneland. Leparoux also was the Spring Meet’s leading
rider in 2006 (in a tie with Rafael Bejarano), 2007, 2009,
2011 and 2012, and was the fall season’s leading rider
also in 2006, 2010 and 2011. He won the 2013 Toyota
Blue Grass on Java’s War in a rousing last to first rally.
Born in France, Leparoux knew as a youngster that
he wanted to be a jockey. His late father, Robert, had
been a jockey and then an assistant trainer. Leparoux
came to the U.S. in early 2003 to become an exercise
rider for fellow countryman Patrick Biancone. He began
his riding career at Saratoga in the summer of 2005
and won his first race on August 18 with only his third
mount.
Leparoux has received two Eclipse Awards for his
riding success. The first was the Eclipse as outstanding apprentice jockey in 2006; he earned the Eclipse
Award as outstanding jockey in 2009. Leparoux joins
Steve Cauthen, Chris McCarron and Kent Desormeaux
as the others to win an Eclipse as an apprentice and as
a journeyman.
As of April 6, Leparoux had won 1,921 races and
ridden the earners of nearly $105 million in his career.

Extrasexyhippzster
Dark bay or brown colt
Sire: Stroll
Dam: Extra Sexy Psychic, by Freud
Breeders: Toni M. Kirwan and
Edward Hipps (PA)
Owners: Kirwan Equine Group Inc.
and Edward Hipps
Trainer: Michael Trombetta
Jockey: Julian Pimentel
Career record: 6 starts, 3 wins, 1 third, $174,224
Stakes performances: Won Miracle Wood; Won Don
Rickles; 4th Marylander; 8th Gotham (G3)
Owners: Kirwan Equine Group Inc.
and Edward Hipps
Toni and Michael Kirwan founded the Kirwan
Equine Group, a Pennsylvania-based breeding and racing operation. The couple often partners with Edward
Hipps in breeding and racing. Among the horses they
have bred and raced is Extra Sexy Psychic, dam of Extrasexyhippzster.
The unusual name for the partners’ Toyota Blue
Grass contender comes from Toni Kirwan’s penchant for
giving her horses long names so she can hear them during the race calls. Their other horses include Divashightekkgizmo, Prettyhipphophotty and Jazmainiasupertaz.
Trainer: Michael Trombetta
Maryland native Michael Trombetta has more than
1,250 victories and trained the earners of more than
$37.8 million in his career. Among his notable horses is
Sweetnorthernsaint, who won the 2006 Illinois Derby
(G2), finished seventh to Barbaro in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) as the 5-1 favorite,
and was second in the Preakness (G1).
22
2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES
Trombetta’s father, Rudy, owned horses and took
his son to Pimlico. He slowly built his training operation
while working for his brother, Dino, at the contracting
company he owned. When he reached 30 horses under
his direction, he moved full-time into the industry.
Trombetta has three career victories at Keeneland,
including the 2009 Commonwealth (G2) with Eternal
Star.
“The gratification comes from putting in the hard
work and seeing a horse win,” Trombetta posted on his
Facebook page. “The winning is the acknowledgment
of a job well done for the groom, the exercise rider,
everyone in your stable. I’ve always tried to do a good
job. I’ve always had confidence. Always taken the job
seriously. And I’m grateful. The most any trainer hopes
for is that an owner will give you a chance with a good
horse.”
Jockey: Julian Pimentel
Julian Pimentel and trainer Michael Trombetta have
teamed up often in the past for success on the Maryland racing circuit. Now the duo will try to replicate the
results in the Toyota Blue Grass (G1) with Extrasexyhippzster.
Pimentel was born in Colombia and rode there
before moving to the U.S. He was a leading rider at
Monmouth Park and The Meadowlands from 2001-2005.
He moved to Maryland, where he claimed the 2008
Laurel Park summer meet riding title and rode Spectacular Malibu to win the Maryland Million Distaff and Peace
Town to win the Maryland Juvenile Championship.
Pimentel entered April with nearly 1,300 victories
and had ridden the earners of more than $38 million.

and Susan Magnier
Susan Magnier is the daughter of legendary Irish
trainer Vincent O’Brien. Her husband, John Magnier,
is the managing partner of Irish-based Coolmore Stud.
Coolmore’s vast operation is headquartered in Fethard,
County Tipperary, and also has farms in Kentucky at
Ashford Stud near Versailles and in Australia at Hunter
Valley in New South Wales.
Magnier, whose family was prominently associated
with jumpers in Ireland, helped establish Coolmore as
one of the world’s leading stallion operations. In 1975,
legendary trainer Vincent O’Brien tapped Magnier to
manage Coolmore for O’Brien and his partner, Robert
Sangster. Their association resulted in Coolmore’s domination of the European classics during the late 1970s
and 1980s. A keen investor, Magnier is annually ranked
by the Sunday Times Rich List among the wealthiest
men in Ireland.
Today, Coolmore Ireland stands such leading
stallions as Galileo (IRE) and Danehill Dancer, while
Giant’s Causeway, Henrythenavigator, Tale of the Cat
and Lookin At Lucky, among others, stand at Ashford. In
addition to its stallion operations, Coolmore encompasses the famed Ballydoyle training yard, where Vincent
O’Brien conditioned such champions as Sir Ivor, Nijinsky II, Alleged, Storm Bird and Sadler’s Wells, and today
serves as home base for Irish champion trainer Aidan
O’Brien (no relation).
In recent years, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith
have joined Magnier as business associates at Coolmore.
A resident of Monaco, Tabor founded the Prince Arthur betting shop chain, which he developed from two
betting shops into a chain of 114 shops. In 1995 he sold
the Prince Arthur chain to Coral, one of Great Britain’s
largest betting shop operators. Tabor earned Keeneland’s gold tray in the fall of 2008 in recognition of his
eight graded stakes wins at the track.
Tabor made a splash in 1995 when his Thunder
Gulch won the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Belmont (G1).
Thunder Gulch was fourth in the Blue Grass.
Derrick Smith, who lives primarily in Barbados,
worked for the British bookmakers Ladbrokes before
leaving in 1988 to go into business on his own. He
made his fortune in property and currency trading.
Either individually or in various partnerships, the
Magniers, Tabor and Smith have been represented by
numerous Group or Grade 1 winners and champions
in Europe and the United States, including Hurricane
Run, Ruler of the World, Camelot, Pour Moi, Roderic
O’Connor (IRE), Misty for Me (IRE), Cape Blanco (IRE),
No Nay Never and Verrazano.
Tabor and Smith purchased future champion Rags
to Riches for $1.9 million at Keeneland’s 2005 September
Yearling Sale. Rags to Riches won the 2007 Kentucky
Oaks (G1) and became only the third filly in history to
win the Belmont (G1).
Gala Award’s connections already have been successful in the Toyota Blue Grass. In 2000, Tabor and
Susan Magnier joined Robert and Beverly Lewis in the
ownership of winner High Yield. Tabor and Smith won
the race in 2005 with Bandini.
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Todd Pletcher received a record sixth Eclipse Award
as outstanding trainer in 2013, joining the four consecutive honors he earned from 2004-2007 and a fifth for
2010 when his stable included Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Super Saver.
At Keeneland, Pletcher was the leading trainer in
the spring of 2005, when he trained a then-Spring Meet
record 16 winners, and again in the spring of 2008.
Through 2013, he had won 164 races here, ranking him
fifth on the list of the track’s all-time leading trainers by
victories. Pletcher’s 39 stakes wins place him second
behind Racing Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas in that
category.

numerous Group or Grade 1 winners and champions
in Europe and the United States, including Hurricane
Run, Ruler of the World, Camelot, Pour Moi, Roderic
O’Connor (IRE), Misty for Me (IRE), Cape Blanco (IRE),
No Nay Never and Verrazano.
Tabor and Smith purchased future champion Rags
to Riches for $1.9 million at Keeneland’s 2005 September Yearling Sale. Rags to Riches won the 2007
Kentucky Oaks (G1) and became only the third filly in
history to win the Belmont (G1).
Pablo Del Monte’s connections already have been
successful in the Toyota Blue Grass. In 2000, Tabor and
Susan Magnier joined Robert and Beverly Lewis in the
ownership of winner High Yield. Tabor and Smith won
the race in 2005 with Bandini.
Breeder, Co-Owner and Trainer: Wesley Ward
After a successful career as a jockey during which
he won the 1984 Eclipse Award as outstanding apprentice, Wesley Ward turned his talents to training horses.
He had the most successful year of his career in 2013,
when he won 107 races and saddled the earners of
more than $4.5 million. As of April 6, he had won 1,224
races and trained the earners of more than $34.9 million
in his career.
In 2012, Ward scored his first Keeneland stakes
wins with Holiday Kitten in the Thoroughbred Club of
America (G2) and Giant’s Causeway Stakes. He also
saddled Gypsy Robin to win the Lexus Raven Run (G2)
and Beaumont (G2), and he won the Coolmore Lexington (G3) with All Squared Away. Ward added a sixth
stakes victory here when Judy the Beauty captured the
2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES

Pablo Del Monte
2013 Thoroughbred Club of America (G2).
Ward maintains a sizeable operation at Keeneland,
where his horses have included No Nay Never. In April
2013, No Nay Never won his career debut here. He
went on to win the Norfolk (G2) at Royal Ascot and
the Darley Prix Morny (G1) at Deauville in consecutive
starters.
The trainer has been successful with other 2-yearolds. In 2007, he sent out Pablo Del Monte’s dam, One
Hot Wish, to set a 4 1/2-furlong world record of :48.87
at Keeneland. In 2009, he sent out first-time starter
Jealous Again to a maiden victory at the track. The filly
returned to run second in the Kentucky Juvenile Stakes
(G3) at Churchill Downs, and she traveled to England to
win the Queen Mary Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot.
Born in Washington, Ward is the son of trainer Dennis Ward. The younger Ward rode until 1989, retiring
because of weight problems. He assisted his father before going out on his own and saddled his first runner
in 1991. Ward is known for mentoring young riders.

she claimed her first horse. In 1981, she and husband
Ed moved to Virginia and bought some land from the
old Keswick Country Club to establish their Foxcroft
Farm. Prior to that move, Schuler’s horses mostly raced
at Suffolk Downs near Boston and at Rockingham Park
in New Hampshire. Schuler supports racing at Virginia’s
Colonial Downs.
Since 2000, Schuler has recorded 44 wins and earnings of more than $1.2 million.
Trainer: Tom Bush
Tom Bush has been a mainstay on the New York
circuit with a relatively small operation. Keeneland fans
know him as the trainer of the flashy Get Stormy, who
won the 2011 Maker’s Mark Mile (G1) and the 2009
Bryan Station (G3). Get Stormy earned more than $1
million and won seven graded stakes, including the
2012 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1), 2011 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (G1), 2010 Bernard Baruch
Handicap (G2) and Fourstardave (G2) and 2009 Commonwealth Turf (G3).

going out on his own. As of early April, he had 442
career victories and had trained the earners of $21.29
million.
Jockey: Joe Rocco Jr.
Joe Rocco Jr. is coming off the most lucrative season of his career in which he rode the earners of more
than $6 million, including his first two stakes-winning
mounts at Keeneland. Rocco won the 2013 Lexus Raven
Run (G2) with Madame Cactus during the Fall Meet and
the Giant’s Causeway with Sweet Cassiopeia during the
Spring Meet.
His other stakes-winning mounts in 2013 included
Tiz Miz Sue, who won Oaklawn’s Azeri Stakes (G3) in
2012 and 2013. At Gulfstream Park, he rode Honorable
Dillon to win the Hutcheson (G2) in February and won
the Marshua’s River Stakes (G3) in January on Hard Not
to Like.
Rocco’s father also is a jockey, and the two have
ridden against each other several times. The younger
Rocco began his career in 1999 and won aboard his first
mount at Tampa Bay Downs. For several years, he rode
in the Mid-Atlantic region and was the leading rider at
Delaware Park in 2011. As of April 6, he had won 1,131
races and ridden the earners of $33 million.

by Yum! Brands (G1): Sam F. Davis (G3) winner and
Toyota Blue Grass (G1) contender Vinceremos and Besilu Stables Florida Derby (G1) winner Constitution.
Dallas resident Kenny Troutt, owner of WinStar
Farm, has been a horseman for more than 20 years
and an entrepreneur most of his life. The Illinois native
established his first horse farm, Landview, in eastern
Nebraska in the early 1980s. In 1988, he founded Excel
Communications, a long-distance telephone service
company that integrated the growing demand for telecommunications service with relationship marketing.
As founder and chairman of Excel, Troutt used innovative business and marketing strategies that resulted in
the meteoric rise of the corporation and its success as a
publicly traded enterprise in 1996.
Troutt teamed with Bill Casner in early 2000 to buy
Prestonwood Farm, which they renamed WinStar. Troutt
and Casner dissolved their partnership in 2010 and
Troutt is now the owner of WinStar.
Located near Keeneland, WinStar today covers more
than 1,800 acres. The farm includes a stallion operation
30
2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES
and a training and rehab facility with a seven-furlong
Polytrack training track. WinStar’s stallion roster includes
leading sires Distorted Humor, Tiznow and Speightstown.
WinStar has enjoyed success at the track, campaigning such standouts as 2010 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner
Super Saver; 2010 Belmont (G1) and 2011 Breeders’
Cup Classic (G1) winner Drosselmeyer; and 2009 Dubai
World Cup (G1) Well Armed. Super Saver and Drosselmeyer now stand stud at Win-Star. Former trainer
Elliott Walden is President/CEO and Racing Manager for
WinStar.
WinStar Farm has had two starters in the Toyota
Blue Grass, running second with Hold Me Back in 2009
and fourth with Bluegrass Cat in 2006.
Twin Creeks Racing Stables is a semi-private racing partnership established in 2007 and managed by
Randy Gullatt and Steve Davison. Twin Creeks counts
Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw
among their partners. The Louisiana-based group raced
multiple graded stakes winners Graydar and Mission
Impazible.

Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Todd Pletcher received a record sixth Eclipse Award
as outstanding trainer in 2013, joining the four consecutive honors he earned from 2004-2007 and a fifth for
2010 when his stable included Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Super Saver.
At Keeneland, Pletcher was the leading trainer in
the spring of 2005, when he trained a then-Spring Meet
record 16 winners, and again in the spring of 2008.
Through 2013, he had won 164 races here, ranking him
fifth on the list of the track’s all-time leading trainers by
victories. Pletcher’s 39 stakes wins place him second
behind Racing Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas in that
category.
Pletcher has two wins in the Toyota Blue Grass
(G1). He won the race in 2005 with Bandini. In 2008,
he scored a second victory in the race when he sent out
Monba to finish a neck in front of stablemate Cowboy
Cal. In 2013, he finished second with Palace Malice,
who would go on to win the Belmont Stakes (G1).
Pletcher was 7 when he began working with racehorses trained by his father, Jake Pletcher, and he spent
Vinceremos
his summer vacations at the racetrack. After graduating
from the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program in May 1989, he began working for Lukas. Their
successful association continued until the end of 1995
when Pletcher took out his trainer’s license. Pletcher
saddled his first winner two months later.
As of April 5, Pletcher was the year’s leading trainer
by earnings with more than $6.4 million. In his career,
he has sent the earners of more than $264.7 million,
ranking him second to Lukas on the list of the alltime leading trainers by earnings. On Pletcher’s list of
champions are Ashado, English Channel, Fleet Indian,
Lawyer Ron, Left Bank, Rags to Riches, Shanghai Bobby,
Speightstown, Uncle Mo and Wait a While.

Jockey: Edgar Prado
Edgar Prado has three victories in the Toyota Blue
Grass (G1), riding Harlan’s Holiday in 2002, Peace Rules
in 2003 and Monba in 2008. Those triumphs are among
the many accomplishments for Prado, who in 2008
also was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame. In his
career, Prado has won more than 6,700 races and ridden
the earners of nearly $250 million around the world.
He earned the Eclipse Award as outstanding jockey in
2006, the year he won the Kentucky Derby (G1) aboard
unbeaten Barbaro. He won the Belmont (G1) in 2004
aboard Birdstone.
At Keeneland, Prado has won 37 stakes prior to the
start of the 2013 Spring Meet. He ranks fifth among the
track’s all-time leading riders in that category. He has
123 career victories at the track, the first of which came
during the 1997 Fall Meet.
Prado ranks ninth in all-time victories by North
American jockeys and is second to only Russell Baze
among active riders.
Two of Prado’s Grade 1 wins here came aboard
Take Charge Lady, in the Overbrook Spinster (G1) in
2002 and 2003. In 2003, Prado’s Spinster win on Take
Charge Lady and his Toyota Blue Grass victory on Peace
Rules gave him two of his four Grade 1 wins at the
track that year, joining the Shadwell Turf Mile on Landseer (GB) and the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on
Film Maker. His other Grade 1 wins at Keeneland were
aboard Perfect Soul (IRE) in the 2003 Shadwell Turf Mile
and on Sis City in the 2005 Ashland.
Born in Peru, Prado was a successful jockey in his
home country. He moved to the U.S. and began riding
in Florida in 1986. Prado was a leading rider in Maryland before moving his tack to New York and beginning
to appear in the biggest races in the sport.
