The equine posterchild for >no rest for the weary,= the dark bay was equipped with a set of blinkers for the first time for the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown and she responded with arguably her best career effort, kicking home impressively to score by a decisive 4 3/4 lengths. In so doing, she becomes the fourth filly to beat the boys in the Plate this decade, joining Inglorious (Hennessy, 2011), fellow Barber/Casse campaigner Lexie Lou (Sligo Bay {Ire}, 2014) and last year=s winner Holy Helena (Ghostzapper).

Whereas she raced from well off the pace when victorious two back in the GI Santa Anita Oaks and--circumstantially--when third as the 2-1 favorite to Monomoy Girl in the GI Kentucky Oaks May 4, Midnight Bisou was ridden positively by Mike Smith and stalked the pace of her chief market rival, initially to her inside and then from her outside once Smith let her clear. Allowed to creep closer leaving the three-eighths point, Midnight Bisou was right alongside nearing the top of the lane and she kicked away from there with a minimum of fuss to score at will by a visually impressive six lengths. Road to Victory stayed on for second. Previously trained on the West Coast by Bill Spawr, Midnight Bisou, also a winner of this term=s GII Santa Ynez S. Jan. 7 and GIII Santa Ysabel S.

(Saturday, June 27, 2020) – Tom’s d’Etat delivered a brilliant performance in Saturday’s 39th running of the $500,000 Stephen Foster presented by Coca-Cola (Grade II) at Churchill Downs as the 7-year-old horse collected his fourth consecutive stakes win while defeating By My Standards by 4 ¼ lengths and clocking 1 1/8 miles in 1:47.30 – just .02 off Victory Gallop’s 1999 track and stakes record. Trained by Al Stall Jr. and owned by Gayle Benson’s G M B Racing and named for her late husband Tom Benson of New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans fame, Tom’s d’Etat sat just behind Pirate’s Punch, who led the field of eight older horses through fractions of :23.89 and :48.13. Midway around the far turn with three furlongs to run, jockey Miguel Mena asked Tom’s d’Etat to poke his head in front. Under a hand ride, Tom’s d’Etat drew off in the stretch and was utterly superior as By My Standards attempted to close ground. “I knew he was a lot of fun to ride him in the morning but didn’t realize how much fun he was in the afternoon,” said Mena, who was given an opportunity to ride Tom’s d’Etat when regular jockey Joel Rosario opted to ride champion Uni (GB) to a third- place finish in the $250,000 Just a Game (GI) at Belmont Park in New York.

The brothers, who work on the security team, bring their passion of horse racing and the spirit of their father with them to each shift at Churchill Downs. “Churchill Downs stands for everything I love,” Ken simply stated. The Hardin’s faces light up every time a new horse racing star enters the stable gate or when they get the opportunity to tell a story about horses that strike up memories of their father. The Stable Gate office is filled with horse racing memorabilia and different photos where all of the employees, not just the Hardins, can share personal stories. One specific photo of Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day brings back memories of the Hardins’ late father, Charles, every time they enter the office. “I was about 14-years-old when Pat Day won the (1992) Kentucky Derby (aboard Lil E Tee) but I remember it well,” Donnie said. “My dad was taken back by the legendary jockey’s humble demeanor after his big accomplishment. I learned a lot from that. “The next spring Churchill Downs had an autograph session featuring Pat Day. At the time, I collected sports trading cards, including jockey cards.
