Apparently the owner's grandmother's parents were part of that enthusiasm.

It was also the nosey neighbor’s name in “Bewitched”. Gladys Kravitz who presumably was not related to Lenny.

That's pretty cool. I thought Sheer Drama was a neat racemare to win grade I's at 7 and 10 furlongs. Wonder if she has any other foals on the ground.

Harvest Moon (Uncle Mo - Qaraaba) won the G2 Zenyatta over older mares. She is a 1/2 sister to G2SW Californiagoldrush. Her 4th dam is the great Salsabil, who after winning the 1000 Guineas and Oaks became the first filly to win the Irish Derby in 90 years. Her broodmare career was very short, producing only 5 foals, 3 of which went on to be GSW, before being euthanized due to cancer at age 9.

Ria Amelia (Deep Impact x Ria Antonia) won the G3 Sho Rose S. at Chukyo.

Glad to see him back at the top of his game! Have the connections stated whether they want to try and race him internationally as an older male if/when the pandemic gets under control?
