BROODMARES OF THE YEAR

The 2016 Speedhorse Broodmare of
the Year contest came down to a dual between Jenuine Joy and Jess Send Candy. The result was a dead-heat with both
mares earning nine points and the honor of Speedhorse Co-Broodmares of the Year. We have previously covered each of these mares when their sons Imperial Eagle (in 2016)
and Jess Good Candy (in 2015) won their respective All American Futurities, so I set out this time to take a little different approach to their pedigrees. That took me to the blood of a Thoroughbred stallion named Teddy and how this sire influences the pedigrees of these two mares and the overall breed in general.
Teddy was sired by Ajax and out of Rondeau by Bay Ronald. Edmond Blanc, a French breeder who had purchased Flying Fox, the grandsire of Teddy, bred Teddy. Blanc purchased Flying Fox at the dispersal of horses owned by the Englishman Hugh
Lupus, the Duke of Westminster. Lupus was a top breeder in England and bred two English Triple Crown winners, Flying Fox being one of them.
Teddy was foaled in 1913 and raced
in France and Spain, earning 145,000 F (francs). He won six of eight starts, including the Gran Prix of San Sebastian at a mile and a half. Teddy was retired to stud in 1918
and is sire to noted runners as Prin d I’Arc de Triomphe winner Orthello, French Two Thousand Guineas winner Sir Gallahad III, and Champion Stakes winner Asterus.
Teddy was a distance/stamina specialist, which became an important influence on racehorses with an impact on speed. Teddy is the sire of Bull Dog, his full brother Sir Gallahad III, Case Ace, and the great mare La Troienne. These four horses are significant in the Teddy contribution as a foundation sire, and they show up in the pedigree of many speed-bred runners.
JENUINE JOY
Jenuine Joy was home-bred by Fredda Draper. Her 2014 gelding Imperial Eagle was the leader of her path to the Broodmare of the Year title. Imperial Eagle was the 2016 leading money earner with $1,721,507 in earnings as well as the 2016 Champion 2 Year Old and Champion 2-Year-Old Gelding. Jenuine Joy was recently sold. She was purchased in January of 2017 by Sammy Valeriano of Odessa, Texas.
Fredda Draper and her late husband Carl got their start in Quarter Horse racing when Carl became a trainer in the 1970’s. The Drapers built a successful racing stable that came into prominence when Fredda Draper and Don Moler formed a partnership in DM Shicago and won the 2004 All American Futurity with Carl as the trainer. Carl would come back to the All American Futurity winner’s circle for a second time as the trainer of Heartswideopen in 2007.
