Why your breeder should win: Intrepid has been on a roll this year, but it hasn't been pure selfishness! There has been a touch of Intrepid no matter who's barn you stumble into. We've had the immense pleasure and satisfaction of breeding high quality horses (even most of the BC Juvenile fields!) that have gone on to perform from the undercards all the way up to those graded stakes. We had a hand in breeding 4 BC Winners this year and a potential Racehorse of the Year with Nightshade....plus the near miss TT winner and many, many others. We've worked hard with our own stock and the real testament to the IRS breeding stock is that their offspring have raced and excelled in other barns!
