Slightly different format for this one . There are 10 photos of famous silks in this thread. Your task is to identify the owners . $24 Otis Special Kentucky Derby bet to the person with the highest number of correct answers. To keep it fair DO NOT post your answers here but send them to me by e -mail at @bev.hendry@yahoo.com

The first 9 were easy, the last one I had to google for an hour!

Well done salestopper! I remember Hooh Why running at Tampa a while back, but those silks made no impression on me, apparently. No idea how you came up with that last one, you're good. Drinks are on me next time. Jolyan, happy to split the runner-up pot with you, nice work. Thanks Bev for putting that together, it was fun. What did you shoot that day anyways?  Looks like a nice course.

Very nicely done salestopper! You certainly know your Florida horses and breeders. I was completely flummoxed by the last 2 choices.
Tom, I'm equally pleased to share the runner up spot with you. Good luck with your prize on Derby Day.
Bev, thank you very much for providing this challenge. It was most enjoyable and educational. |

Excellent job finding all of them...even 8 is impressive. I didn't submit mine in time but had 7 with no clue on 3, 9, 10. Pretty sure 6 was also known as Double Diamond Farm. I'm pretty sure I could have had them all with a call to Ocala National since I see they have lots of silks hanging in their bar, including #10. :-)

Thank you! I grew up in the SoFl horse business. We were partners with the Wolfsons and boarded our mares at Harbor View/Happy Valley, so I have known most of the people on the list for 40 years. Derby Daze was actually the second easiest (next to HV) as the farm is on the same road as Happy Valley and they had a massive sign with the silks on it, up until a year ago when the farm sold.
Since I’m not much into handicapping, Tom, would you mind placing my bet and all of the proceeds can go to FLTRAC?

I'd be happy to create a wager for you, thanks for the opportunity! No pressure  . I'll make it a separate ticket from my $12 stab. Nice gesture to donate to after care, I'll do my best.
