Filly
A filly is a female horse that is too young to be called a mare. There are two specific definitions in use: *In most cases, a ''filly'' is a female horse under four years old. *In some nations, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, the world of horse racing sets the cutoff age for fillies as five. Fillies are sexually mature by two and are sometimes bred at that age, but generally, they should not be bred until they themselves have stopped growing, usually by four or five.Ensminger, M. E. ''Horses and Horsemanship: Animal Agriculture Series.'' Sixth Edition. Interstate Publishers, 1990. p. 149-150 Some fillies may exhibit estrus as yearlings. The equivalent term for a male is a colt. When horses of either sex are less than one year, they are referred to as foals. Horses of either sex between one and two years old may be called yearlings. See also * Filly Triple Crown * Weanling A weanling is an animal that has just been weaned. The term is usually used to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thoroughbred Horse Race
Thoroughbred racing is a sport and industry involving the racing of Thoroughbred horses. It is governed by different national bodies. There are two forms of the sport – flat racing and jump racing, the latter known as National Hunt racing in the UK and steeplechasing in the US. Jump racing can be further divided into hurdling and steeplechasing. Ownership and training of racehorses Traditionally, racehorses have been owned by wealthy individuals. It has become increasingly common in the last few decades for horses to be owned by syndicates or partnerships. Notable examples include the 2005 Epsom Derby winner Motivator, owned by the Royal Ascot Racing Club, 2003 Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide, owned by a group of 10 partners organized as Sackatoga Stable, and 2008 Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown, owned by IEAH stables, a horse racing hedgefund organization. Historically, most race horses have been bred and raced by their owners. Beginning after World War II, the commercia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thunder Rumble
Thunder Rumble (1989 in New York – January 6, 2015) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that The Blood-Horse called a "sensation at Saratoga" race course for his performances there in 1992. Bred and raced by Konrad Widmer and his daughter Ursula under their Braeburn Farm banner, Thunder Rumble was trained by Richard O'Connell. As a three-year-old in 1992, Thunder Rumble missed the U.S. Triple Crown series due to a virus. However, the colt had an outstanding year. He won the Count Fleet Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack and at Saratoga captured the Montauk Handicap, the Grade II Jim Dandy Stakes and then became the first New York-bred horse in 125 years to win the Grade I Travers Stakes. Laid up for almost six months from an injury following a seventh-place finish in the 1992 Breeders' Cup Classic, Thunder Rumble ran without success in four races in California under trainer Chris Speckert. Returned to New York and trainer Richard O'Connell, on July 20, 1994 he won a seven-furl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Capades
Capades (foaled 1986 in New York) is a retired American Thoroughbred racehorse whom the July 24, 1989 edition of ''The New York Times'' called "one of the country's most accomplished 3-year-old grass fillies." Capades was sired by Overskate, a Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee who won an unprecedented nine Sovereign Awards while racing in Canada and the United States. Capades dam was the racing mare, Medal of Valor, a daughter of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Damascus. Trained from a base in New York by Richard O'Connell, at age two Capades won the Selima Stakes at Maryland's Laurel Park Racecourse. At age three, Capades won important races for fillies but showed how good she really was in her first start against colts at Pimlico Race Course. The only filly in a field of eight three-year-olds, Capades won the 1989 Broad Brush Stakes by five and a half lengths. Capades continued to race at age four, notably winning the Matchmaker Stakes at Atlantic City Race C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jaipur Stakes
The Jaipur Stakes is a Grade I American Thoroughbred horse race for horses aged three years old and older held over a distance of six furlongs on the turf scheduled annually in early June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. The event currently carries a purse of $400,000. History The race is named after Jaipur, the Champion three-year-old colt of 1962 who ran one of the most memorable Travers Stakes on record. The race was run at seven furlongs in 1986 to 2005, and again from 2011 to 2013. All other renewals have been at six furlongs. For three years (1986, 1994, and 1995), it was run in two divisions. In 2013, heavy rain forced the Jaipur to be moved from the turf to the sloppy main track. Because of the move, the stakes race lost its Grade III status for that renewal. The event was a Grade III for most of its history but in 2019 it was upgraded to Grade I.
