Shelby, Who Do You Like ?
A talented field of 11 distaffers has been assembled to go a mile on the Indiana Downs turf Wednesday in the $100,000 Girls Inc. of Shelbyville, Shelby County Stakes. Grade 1 winner Hooh Why (Cloud Hopping) continues the game of musical barns by lining up for new trainer Anthony Granitz in the race. The six-year-old mare has bounced back and forth between different shedrows her entire career, but will be making her first start at Indiana Downs off a runner-up effort in the Grade 3 Arlington Matron Stakes. Hard Seven (Rock Hard Ten) and Ravi's Song (Unbridled's Song) will face-off for the second straight time after running third and fourth, respectively, in the Grade 3 Mint Julep Handicap on June 2. Hard Seven also finished third in the Santa Ana and Santa Barbara Stakes, both Grade 2s, at Santa Anita prior to her last run at Churchill Downs. Another in with a chance is Grade 2 heroine Kathmanblu (Bluegrass Cat), who is looking to rebound off a subpar last-place effort in the Arlington Matron...

Eh hem, the "real" trainer likely has licensing issues thus the constant barn
"changes". Know this horse from being Chicago-based and hearing stories behind it.

Cool! I didn't know about this race. Nice stakes.
And, it's named after me......  
I haven't looked at pp's, but, off the top I'd have to pick Kathmanblu.

I've read alot about him but haven't seen the video's. One tough horse to handle , but yes what a champ.
Missed a good deal of training with that awful bout of Ringworm . Still always showed up.
