All he did was win and we thought, >Wow, why doesn=t everybody have a racehorse?=@ Bonnie & Tommy Hamilton with homebred Havelock | Horsephotos And the rest, as they say, is history. The Hamiltons have about 25 horses in training, half of which are with trainer Darrin Miller, and have since expanded into breeding. They own Silverton Hill Bonnie and Tommy Hamilton of Silverton Hill Farm had their Farm, a 2,000-acre farm in Springfield, Ky, that includes first Classic runners in 2007 when GI Toyota Blue Grass S. winner Polytrack and turf courses, and is also used to raise cattle and Dominican (El Corredor) and GII Lane=s End S. runner-up produce hay and grain.

Hamilton continued, AWhen you get into the Derby or the Belmont, you have to appreciate what an honor it is to have a horse that can step up on the big stage and deserves to be there. The longer you are in this, the more you realize every race, even if it is a claiming race, you need to appreciate that that animal is able to step up and do the job. When you get to the Classics and the Grade Is, you should just be honored that you have a horse sound enough and talented enough to be in that race. I think that is probably the biggest thing we=ve learned.@ Hamilton plans to appreciate every moment this time around with her first Belmont runner Meantime, who bloodstock agent Ben McElroy purchased for the couple for $230,000 at the 2015 Dominican (L) beating Derby winner Street Sense (center) Keeneland September sale. in the Toyota Blue Grass | Horsephotos AHe was always a very good-looking horse,@ Hamilton recalled.
