Monday was an exciting day for Sheppell Thoroughbreds at Thistledown. Race 7 at Thistledown had a 9 horse field, with the top 4 finishers being raised by Sheppell Thoroughbreds!! The top 3 fillies were bred and raised by Peter Sheppell, and Twerk, the winning filly is owned by Peter as well! Twerk is trained by Jeff Radosevich and was ridden to victory by Jose Bracho. Gertie Cat, the 4th place filly was raised by Sheppell Thoroughbreds for the late Dr. Daniel Kessler.
Additionally, two other colts bred and raised by Sheppell Thoroughbreds found their way into Monday’s winner’s circle. Kole Man Can won his claiming race and Wicked Warrior won an allowance optional claiming race and ran what appears to be his fastest E Figure, a 106.
Results like this are further proof of the benefits of breeding and owning Ohio Bred and Accredited horses. They race every day for decent purses at all of our three exciting tracks. The OTBO encourages everyone to get involved in Ohio Racing in whatever capacity you can – breeder, owner, as someone who works directly in the industry, or fan – and enjoy the Best Bet in Racing!
