Saturday Was One of the Biggest Days in NJ Racing

And they didn't even run a thoroughbred race in the state.

Both Green Gratto and Irish War Cry are J-Breda.

Just to put that in perspective in 2014 the year Irish War Cry was born there were barely a hundred horses born in the state. The breeding program doesn't even rank in the top 20 largest. It represents half a percentage point of all horses born. It's literally a rounding error from non-existence. Basically New Jersey produces about as many thoroughbreds as Minnesota and less than such breeding hot beds as Arkansas, New Mexico, Washington and Iowa.

It's a stunning achievement.

For decades, jersey was limited to real NJ bred horses by the inexpensive sires that stood there. Slady Castle comes to mind. I think Irish War Cry is only a J bred administratively.
