Street Sense Filly Named Maryland Horse Breeders Association Yearling Show Champion

Katharine M. Voss' filly by Street Sense out of Belterra, by Unbridled, stood out from the rest of her competitors as judge Gary Contessa selected her as grand champion of the 87th annual Maryland Horse Breeders Association's Yearling Show, held Sunday, Aug. 1 at the Timonium Fairgrounds horse show ring in Timonium, Md.

Bred by the late Robert T. Manfuso, the champion filly was the winner of Class IV (for fillies foaled in Maryland, by out-of-state sires). A daughter of Manfuso's homebred Grade 2 winner Belterra, she was shown by Chanceland's manager Casey Randall.

“We all know that on a horse, the engine is in the rear, and she's got like a 400-horsepower engine in that rear end,” said Contessa. “I mean the colts looked great, the [reserve champion] filly looked great, but she was just the most powerful filly. She was classy, she had the ears up, she had the shoulders that matched the engine, she just had it all in my opinion.”

A total of 87 yearlings in four classes were judged by four-time New York leading trainer Contessa, who is now based at Delaware Park.

The reserve championship went to Hillwood Stable's homebred filly by Great Notion out of Dearie Be Good, by Scrimshaw, winner of Class III for fillies foaled in Maryland by Maryland sires.

Great Notion was awarded the Northview Stallion Station Trophy as the leading sire of the show.

All yearlings who entered the show ring are now eligible for the $40,000 premium award which is split annually, with $20,000 going to the exhibitors of the four show contestants who earn the most money as 2-year-olds during 2022, and another $20,000 divided among the exhibitors of the four highest-earning 3-year-old runners the next year.

T.I.P. Deadlines for 2021 Fast Approaching

Applications for The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) horse shows and T.I.P. Youth Ambassador Program are due Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, respectively. Created in 2011, T.I.P. sponsors Thoroughbred classes and high-point awards at sanctioned horse shows, year-end performance awards, a recreational riding program, and non-competition awards.

Horse shows, trials, and other events interested in offering 2021 T.I.P. awards must apply by Sept. 30, even if the dates are tentative. Shows that offered awards in 2020 or that were approved for awards but were canceled must still reapply for 2021.

The Youth Ambassador program, which selects about a dozen young people annually to represent T.I.P. and the Thoroughbred breed at local barns, shows, and other events, closes applications Oct. 1. Youth Ambassadors must be 18 or younger as of Jan. 1, be a resident of the U.S. or Canada, own or lease a Thoroughbred with a T.I.P. number, and must participate in T.I.P. shows or programs.

“Offering T.I.P. awards is a great way of increasing participation from Thoroughbreds and their riders at horse shows, and we encourage applications from all interested groups in anticipation of a more typical horse show schedule in 2021,” said Kristin Werner, senior counsel of The Jockey Club and coordinator for T.I.P. “Similarly, our Youth Ambassador Program has proven to be an excellent opportunity for individuals to develop leadership skills while promoting the versatility of the Thoroughbred breed.”

GreenMount Farm’s Bernardini Filly Named 2020 Champion At Maryland Yearling Show

GreenMount Farm's filly by Bernardini out of Mystic Love, by Not For Love, outshined the competition as judge Michael Matz selected her as grand champion of the 86th annual Maryland Horse Breeders Association's Yearling Show, held Sunday, July 19 at the Timonium Fairgrounds horse show ring in Timonium, Md.

Bred by GreenMount Farm in partnership with Godolphin, the champion filly was the winner of Class IV (for fillies foaled in Maryland, by out-of-state sires). She was shown by Sabrina Moore, manager and co-owner of GreenMount.

“I had a good feeling about her, I mean I think she's really nice, but until you get there and see how nice all the other horses are [you don't know],” said Moore. “It's surreal, but I count my blessings, I know it doesn't happen all the time. Knowing the people that are genuinely happy for you, that's probably the best part of it.

“I love the show because they get out and you kind of get a feel for them, what they're going to be like as soon as you get them off the farm and they [get to] school a little bit. I just think the yearling show is really key for them and I was glad to get her there.”

A total of 67 yearlings in four classes were judged by two-time classic-winning trainer and hall of fame show jumping rider Matz, who lives in Pennsylvania and trains out of Fair Hill Training Center in Elkton, Md.

“I thought the last [class], that the [champion] filly won, was the strongest group,” Matz said. “She was a nice mover. She just had an overall look. I thought she was well-made and pretty well balanced.”

The reserve championship went to R. Larry Johnson's homebred Whenigettoheaven, a colt by Street Magician out of Heaven Knows What, by Holy Bull, who won Class I (for colts and geldings foaled in Maryland, by Maryland sires). He was one of two ribbon winners for Johnson, as his Street Magician filly won Class III (for fillies foaled in Maryland, by Maryland sires).

Street Magician was awarded the Northview Stallion Station Challenge Trophy as the leading sire of the show. Bred and campaigned by Johnson, the graded stakes winner stands as part of Legacy Farm Stallions at Roland Farm in Warwick, Md.

All yearlings who entered the show ring are now eligible for the $40,000 premium award which is split annually, with $20,000 going to the exhibitors of the four show contestants who earn the most money as 2-year-olds during 2021, and another $20,000 divided among the exhibitors of the four highest-earning 3-year-old runners the next year.
