DAY 38

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (July 3, 2018) –Lone Star Park to host The Paddock Foundation’s 4^th Annual Roses to Ribbons Old Fashioned Horse Fair Saturday, July 7. The fair begins at 10 a.m. and will wrap at noon. Please mark your calendars to attend. The track will be dark for live racing that day. There is no charge for the event and parking is also free. Please enter through the east Grandstand entrance.

This event offers Thoroughbred racehorses ready to retire and be trained for a new career as show horses, trail horses or just as pets. The possibilities are endless for these versatile equines. The event is opened to the public and we encourage any and every one wanting to own a Thoroughbred to attend. Prospective new owners will be able to view and examine these retiring Thoroughbred horses and speak with the trainers who are offering them and privately negotiate a price. These horses will be in the saddling paddock.

There will be concessions and vendors offering items for sale as well, such as County Saddlery and Equine artist Joanna Zeller Quentin offering art from her Moose Pants Studio. Plus non-profits Blue Skies Therapeutic Riding Center and The Paddock Foundation will be here. The Paddock Foundation will be holding raffles for various items throughout the event.

Thoroughbreds are beautiful and intelligent animals and we want to help them find new homes where they can thrive in a second career after they retire from racing.

The Paddock Foundation is a non-profit organization created by the Texas Thoroughbred Association to support and advance aftercare for the Thoroughbred race horse. For more information please contact the Texas Thoroughbred Association at (512)458-6133 or visit facebook.com/thepaddockfoundation.

DAY 34

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (June 22, 2018) – Wayne Sanders & Larry Hirsch’s Zippit E (My Golden Song) got the victory in the Lane’s End Danny Shifflett Scholarship Stakes today. The seven and a half furlong turf stake is restricted to Texas-bred fillies and mares.

Favorite Zippit E, a 5-yr-old gray mare trained by Bret Calhoun, was hustled to the front from the start under rider Jamie Theriot where she held off foes to the wire. Final time over a firm turf course was 1:28.85.

Longshot Mighty Ferrari tracked the pace all the way, fought to get by the winner in the final furlong, but couldn’t get it done and settled for place. Third placed Dagny was well placed just off the pace, made a bid in the final sixteenth, but couldn’t get by the first two.

Zippit E returned $6.20, $4.20 and $2.60. Mighty Ferrari returned $19.60 and $6.80 while Dagny returned $2.60. Special Rockstar; San Antonio Stroll; Texas Belle; Flight Queen and Easter Ellie completed the order of finish.

The purse earnings of $30,000 put Zippit E past the $200k earnings mark to $206,891 career. This was her seventh win from 17 starts and her first trip back to the winner’s circle since she won the Jersey Lily at Sam Houston last January.
