Who Am I ???

Who Am I ???

 

*As a grandson of Northern Dancer, I was born to excel on the grass.

*I won half of my career starts and was a stakes winner in each of my three seasons on the track.

*My trainer is a Breeders' Cup winner, and I always called my owner, “His Highness.”

*Favored in my only Breeders' Cup attempt, I did not have the best of trips that day.

*My four most important wins came at four different distances, with perhaps my biggest career victory coming at Newbury.

*All of my victories came on the turf, and there was a five furlong spread from the shortest to the longest.

*Well backed by bettors, the only time I went off with double-digit odds was the English 2000 Guineas.

*My only start at the Royal meeting of Ascot resulted in a hard-fought victory.

*I never raced too far away from the Atlantic Ocean.

*My regular rider was an Irish bred, just like me.

*Not just the name of a funny movie, my father was also a maiden winner at Monmouth Park and a solid sire.

You should know by now … Who Am I ???

 ZATT's Star of the Week 

Oxbow

Meet Brian Zipse 

Brian has been a passionate fan of horse racing since birth. Taken to the races at a very young age, he has been lucky enough to see all the greats in person from Secretariat and Ruffian through Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta. Before coming to the Nation, Brian displayed his love for the sport through the development of his horse racing website, which quickly became one of the most popular blogs in the game. 
  
As Managing Editor of Horse Racing Nation, Brian authors a daily column as Zipse at the Track, or ZATT for short, and adds his editorial flare to the overall content of the website. You can also find Brian regularly on the social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter.
  
A graduate of DePaul University, Brian lives in Suburban Chicago with his wife Candice and daughter Kendra, where he is a professional golf instructor when he is not following the horses.
