Pedigree: Merry Bay King x Bank On Silver
Race Record: 75-35-27-11
Awards Won:
It should be obvious to all just by reading the above that this colt is accomplished. Here are a list of his most major race wins, separated by year.
Year Six: Breeders Cup Juvenile; placed second in all three legs of the Youth Challenge
Year Seven: Florida Derby, Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes, Dubai World Cup, Breeders Cup Classic
Year Eight: Unicorn Horn Turf, Independance Cup, El Sol Del Mar Memorial Stakes, Breeders Cup Mile
Year Nine: True Enough/Everyday Hero/Dare To Dream Memorial Stakes, Breeders Cup Turf
Always a fierce competitor in every race he was in, Ario became the first horse on GHF to win the Triple Crown. The Triple Crown of year seven was, in my opinion, the TC with the fiercest competition and largest fields. To date, Ario is the only horse to have won the Triple Crown. As well as the Triple Crown, Ario won four different Breeders Cup races, two on dirt and two on turf. He was a monster on both dirt and turf, and proved his superiority on both surfaces by winning the Classic and then the Turf two seasons later, which are the crowning jewels of their respective surfaces. He faced the top dirt and turf horses and came out on top. He's won an award for every year he's raced in.
I truly cannot say enough about this horse. Impressario is truly one of a kind. He completely and utterly deserves to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. Vote wisely! ^__^
Proud parents! lol
