PA THOROUGHBRED REPORT 11 A Letter From the Executive Secretary

We’re extremely proud of PA-Bred Finest City for being awarded an Eclipse Award for Best Female Sprinter this month. This comes after beating the best horses in the world in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint-G1. The same day Finest City cinched the award, she won the $200,000 Grade 2 Santa Monica Stakes and has now won five out of 15 spots. I’d personally like to congratulate Finest City’s breeder, Hank Nothhaft or HnR Nothhaft Racing LLC, and owner Seltzer . Congratulations also go out to Page McKenney who won the Native Dancer Stakes after a nine month layoff – go PA! It’s a very exciting time to have a PA-Bred in the spotlight, as our breeding program benefits are just getting better. As of January 1, 2017, PA-Sired PA-Breds now earn 40% Breeder Awards on purse earnings (1st thru 3rd, no cap) regardless of the year the horse was foaled.

Blasts From The Past

MARTIE’S ANGER 1975, by Spring Double—Martie’s Mad, by Martins Rullah. Bred by Jonathan Sheppard and William Pape; owned by William Pape; trained by Jonathan Sheppard. The first PA-bred ever to earn an Eclipse Award, steeplechase star Martie’s Anger gained that distinc- tion as a 4-year-old in 1979, a season in which he registered five wins from eight steeplechase starts and was never worse than third.

Martie’s Anger was smart, versatile and consis- tent. In 49 career starts on the flat and over jumps, he won 15 times, was second in eight and third nine times, earning $196,990.

Less than a month later he was com- peting in Saratoga’s Lovely Night Hurdle and finished second to Zaccio while giving him five pounds. Martie’s Anger competed through 1983, and was expected back at the races the next year, but while recuperating at Sheppard’s Ashwell Stables that No- vember, he jumped a fence, landed onto the road and was struck and killed by a truck.
