Donate to Sponsor Birdstone Old Friends Birdstone 2001 b H Grindstone – Dear Birdie (Storm Bird) 2004 Belmont Stakes winner Birdstone raced as a homebred for Marylou Whitney Stables. Trained by Nick Zito, he won his first start with Edgar Prado riding and capped off a lightly raced two year old campaign with a victory in the Champagne Stakes (G1) with Jerry Bailey up. At three he competed in the 2004 Kentucky Derby but skipped the Preakness. On Belmont day he and Edgar Prado settled in toward the back, sat chilly while Derby and Preakness took the lead, then just when it looked like Smarty might win the Triple Crown, Birdstone came flying in the final stretch to win the Belmont. That summer he accomplished a similar feat in a rainy 2004 Travers Stakes (G1). He retired with five wins in nine starts and $1,575,600 earnings. At stud at Gainesway Farm, Birdstone sired 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, 2009 Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird, 2015 Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) winner Noble Bird and other stakes winners. He retired to Old Friends in August 2020. Old Friends is grateful to John Hendrickson for entrusting us with the care of superlative racehorse and sire of classic winners, Birdstone.

  • Funny Cide's Epic Kentucky Derby Victory Is Ten Years
    Funny Cide’s Epic Kentucky Derby Victory is Ten Years Old By Bill Heller Can it be ten years since a three-year-old gelding named Funny Cide, and a yellow school bus carrying a group of high school friends who owned him, rearranged the racing industry’s position on New York- breds? “I don’t believe it,” his retired Hall of Fame jockey Jose Santos said Tuesday. “It went by too fast.” Funny Cide’s trainer, Barclay Tagg, agreed: “I do have trouble believing that.” Asked what’s the first thing that comes to his mind when someone asks him about Funny Cide, Jose said, “That he was the best three-year-old in my racing career.” These days, Jose has a new career running a feed company, Instride International, which began operating in 2012 and now serves three Florida tracks: Calder, Gulfstream Park and Palm Meadows. “Basically, I’m running the whole thing,” Jose said. “I’ve been selling to the trainers. They are friends of mine.” His client list includes a bunch of New York trainers who winter in Florida, including Todd Pletcher, John Kimmel, Linda Rice, Rick Violette and John Terranova. Funny Cide, a son of Distorted Humor out of Belle’s Good Cide by Slewacide, was bred by WinStar Farm and foaled at Joe and Anne McMahon’s Thoroughbred farm just outside Saratoga Springs. He was originally purchased for $22,000 before Tagg bought him for $75,000 for Sackatoga Stable, an entity formed when several old friends got together for a Memorial Day barbecue in their home town of Sackets Harbor.

  • Horsing Around Behind the Scenes Is
    Horsing around behind-the-scenes "Jest ''part of racing season fun What were the odds the 2019 Kentucky Derby's Win-Place-Show trainers (Country Horse, FIRST; William "Bill" Mott; Code of Honor, SECOND, trainer Shug McGaughey; Tacitus, THIRD, again Mott) would share the same dentist in a small upstate New York village? Too easy? Okay, then. Let's kick it up a notch with more Thoroughbred racing trivia about what some have nicknamed Saratoga County's Trifecta Dental Spa. What were the odds that in addition to Mott and McGaughey, the Ballston Spa practice of Doctor of Dental Surgery Thomas Pray would also include much celebrated Kentucky Derby winning trainers Barclay Tagg (Funny Cide, 2003) and Nick Zito (Strike the Gold, 1991 and Go for Gin, 1994)? While it's a sure bet we at Legacies Unlimited don't yet have definitive answers to these questions, we hope reading the above will spark unbridled enthusiasm in seeking out complimentary copies of the exquisite July-August 2019 edition of Simply Saratoga magazine. Among the articles found within the current 196-page issue of the glossy periodical is one by Legacies Unlimited co-founder Ann Hauprich titled "Horsing around with Saratoga's unofficial track dentist Tom Pray." The richly illustrated feature documents how the ingenuity and integrity which Dentist Thomas Pray and staff members Joy Soriano, Taylor Joyce, Pray demonstrated along the backstretch three decades ago led his practice (then Mel Curry, Bre McCoy and Susie Joyce couldn't resist horsing around still cutting its baby teeth) to become a dental home turf for hundreds of patients near the tail end of a portrait session with Donna Martin at Village Photo in Ballston Spa, NY Vickie Yanagihara subsequently linked to Saratoga's thoroughbred racing industry, including world renowned captured the action when National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame Hall trainer Nick Zito and equine artist R.C.

I). Gary Stevens subs for a sidelined Edgar Prado on Runhappy, who has been in California with trainer Laura Wohlers since early December. Stevens was aboard the son of Super Saver for his seven-furlong work Dec. 15. "One-turn mile races and one-turn seven-furlong races are the toughest races to win," Stevens said. "You have to have speed and stamina. He has got a big, long stride on him—he doesn't move like a sprinter." While Runhappy will be a big favorite, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin has a pair of lightly raced Ber- nardini colts that bear watching: Marking, a Nov. 4 Aqueduct winner is out of dual grade I winner Sev- enth Street; Watershed, in just his second career start, was a rallying fourth behind Runhappy in the seven-furlong King's Bishop (gr.
