My girls are related to Lamb Chop, the 1960 Claiborne Farms filly who earned the 1963 Champion 3-year-old filly award and ended up in the Aiken Race Track Hall of Fame. She had a 23: 12-5-4 record and won the Coaching Club American Oaks, Monmouth Oaks, Spinster Stakes, Firenze Handicap, Gazelle Handicap, Santa Suzanna Stakes, Jersey Belle Stakes, Comely Stakes, and La Centinela Stakes.Her parents were Bold Ruler and Sheepsfoot by Count Fleet. So, she is very closely related to my horses, especially Violet. Some of their immediate relatives are Nasrullah, Discovery, Count Fleet, Sir Gallahad, and Blue Larkspur.
Unfortunately, Lamb Chop broke her leg in the 1964 Strub Stakes, in a field of 13 horses. She was euthanized and buried in the Santa Anita infield. She was a brave, strong, competitive Claiborne filly!
