flowing through cyberspace to our smartphones, tablets,
and computers. Trending is what we find interesting,
so we follow these topics, and that makes them popular.
We are always interested in what is going on in our world,
and our pedigree world is no different. We see certain
factors that are trending, or should we say, making their
presence known. The difference with trending in the pedigree is that it is popular because it surfaces through good horses.
A recent trend in the racing American Quarter Horse includes the blood of the Thoroughbred Raise Your Glass and how he is influencing our horses today.
Raise Your Glass was foaled in 1968 in Kentucky and bred by the Brown Hotel Farm that was owned by J. Graham Brown, who developed and owned the famous Brown Hotel of Louisville, Kentucky. The Brown Farm was a part of that system. Raise Your Glass was raced by Charles W. Engelhard, Jr./Cragwood Stables.

Engelhard and his wife, Jane, bought and raced the racing legend Nijinsky II in England. Nijinsky II, by Northern Dancer, was a winner of the English Triple Crown (2000 Guineas, Epsom Derby and St. Leger Stakes) in 1970.
The race record for Raise Your Glass shows that he started 19 times with four wins, five seconds and four thirds at ages two and three. He was a stakes winner in the 1970 Tremont Stakes when he finished in a dead-heat for first place with Tamtent. He finished second in the Saratoga Special and the Sanford Stakes, and third in the Sapling Stakes and Great American Stakes, all at age two. These stakes races indicate his affinity for speed as these races are 5 to 6 furlongs
in length. He won two 6-furlong allowance races at age three from six starts - one of them by 4 1/2-lengths.
The penchant for speed in Raise Your Glass comes through his pedigree and some key individuals that are found there. His sire was Raise A Native, who was noted for his speed and who was undefeated in four starts. He won in the Great American Stakes, setting a New Track Record for the 5 1/2-furlongs in 1:02.3, and he equaled his own Track Record for 5 1/2-furlongs in the Juvenile Stakes at Aqueduct. He was named the Champion Two-Year-Old Colt for 1963 and finished
as the high weight two-year-old colt on the Experimental Free Handicap for the year.
