I noticed on the Swan Lake prize list that they are awarding two tropies for outstanding thoroughbreds at the horse show. I think it says that the judges will nominate thoroughbreds throughout the show. My question: How the heck will the judges know which horses are thoroughbreds? There was no place on the entry form to indicate breed, and neither the horses nor the riders wear any identifying armbands or numbers. And furthermore, the ever-discreet thoroughbreds wear their "designer" tatoos on the inside (of their mouths) rather than the flash warmbloods who wear their labels on their hips. Anybody know?

All you had to do was to tell the starter to tell the judge when you went into the ring that you were on a TB. Given that the second word of my mount's name is "Slew", the judge caught on before I had a chance to say anything to the starter. Outrageous - who was Sm. Jr. champion - won the award. That award is a great thing. CANTER is a great group. |

I just added Outrageous to the Pedigree Query. His Jockey Club name is "Sam's Frenchman." Edited by Sing Mia Song, Jun 30 2008, 07:54 AM.

I heard ThePrayerList wore silks, just to make sure the judge didn't miss him on the thoroughbred

Hey ... that jock is wearing a GPA. I suggested to Lynn perhaps an armband to be worn throughout the entire week. It's too difficult to rely on word of mouth as you enter the ring. I am not 100% confidient the judges knew of such award prior to Friday/Saturday. That being said, Outragous is a wonderful horse and I am happy they took home the trophy and wish them the best.

Good Morning, We were thrilled with the horses that we chose, I agree it should have been clearer in the prize list and I did sit down with Lynn for several hours back in the spring going over many things...this included. Outrageous was incredible as was Viper...both horses have shown such competitive brilliance in shows all over the mid atlantic that they were clearly deserving and we were so proud to see two TB's of such high caliber not only receive the awards but also to outshine their competitors that week in their respective divisions....We hear so often about the decline of the TB in the show ring that these two "ambassadors" were a a silver lining for CANTER. I promise next year both the CANTER USA and the Francis Bacon memorial trophy will have clearer guidelines and am sorry if anyone found it confusing ![]() We were also so happy that so many incredible TB's were on hand and were winning so much...we had a large nomination field for the hunter trophy!

Moesha, it's kind of a personal mission for me to track these TBs that have been successful in the show ring and add this information to the TB Pedigree Query. I'd ultimately like to create a good sporthorse database. Would you mind sending me the names of the horses nominated for the award? |
