Cause for Celebration
Photograph by Melissa Farlow
Surrounded by 128 of her nearest and dearest, Pin Oak Stud owner Josephine Abercrombie cheers her filly's victory. How do you produce a winning Thoroughbred? "Breed the best to the best and hope for the best," says Abercrombie, who spends hours a day during breeding season matching mares and stallions from endless pairing possibilities. A winning horse can put extra umph in a Bluegrass celebrationor merit one of its own. "They're a great excuse for a party," Abercrombie says.
